rip your twenty-four cents

if the economy collapses in the fall we won't be in recession according to this market. a recession is defined as two quarters of negative gdp growth, which means for you to be correct the economy must begin contracting right now; we're almost halfway done with q3 already.

The biggest debate bump market had a wacky result. Based on their use of Rasmussen, Tulsi edges out Booker for the biggest bump ( 2.51% rounded up to a 3% gain over her prior 0% result). She wasn't among the contracts listed, so the field won and all contracts resolved No. Anyone playing the negative risk game made out like a bandit.

Flipping 1c shares up to 3c or something thereabouts?

Sorry I never answered this months ago. I bet a lot of "long-shots" like will Sherrod Brown run, will Biden run, and cashed out about $15000 in late April. Since then I am about negative $500, even after recently getting pretty big wins on "Will Steyer make the debate" and "How many candidates will drop out before August 31". I have got pretty wrecked betting on polls, it's definitely a fool's game.

Edit: I am currently bought in pretty heavy for "New Dem frontrunner" (Bernie @ 6c), "Next to dropout" (Biden @ 15c), and "Gabbard in Oct debate" (YES @ 50c)

Yep. The hope is that after the registration deadlines etc. pass it will trend to 99c or thereabouts. I already have my sell orders set.

I think today is a good day to bet NO on Bernie in this market

https://www.predictit.org/markets/detail/5693/Which-of-these-Democrats-will-drop-out-next

I previously had YES bets on both Biden and Harris, which I’m basically breakeven on after today’s news, but I think that this minor surgery is something that Bernie is going to bounce back from quickly.

Also a pretty good day to pick up some Bernie YES nomination shares. It was down as low as 5c on Wednesday, but still under 10c is a steal considering his strong fundraising. He will surely peak higher than that even if he doesn't win.

Theres a thriving marketplace of people buying Hillary yes for cheap and flipping them upwards when the CHUD contingent stumbles upon the contract. High risk work, but their demand is loving insatiable.

I had huge wins over the weekend on both the “Post-debate RCP bump” and “Post-debate RCP decline” markets by just betting on the movement that had already happened, but I am definitely out before any actual post-debate polls come in (except for some fun long shots).

thanks. I'm gonna heavily invest in no 2019 impeachment to boost my capital, then go all in on this. hopefully the no price won't have dropped by then, but I'm not expecting it to since everyone holding yes shares must be completely irrational and not likely to budge

I managed to max Bloomberg getting in at an average of 72c, it’s still available for 74c. He’s put in the time and money to qualify for the Alabama presidential primary, and if he spent $5000 doing that, he must file with the FEC within two weeks.

From the little digging I did before I cashed out (for a few bucks playing swings on No), the filing fee in Alabama is $2500. The petiton requirements are either 500 sigs statewide, or 50 sigs from each of the 7 congressional districts. Those are expensive signatures if he paid 2500 for them.
