My SC position is "Biden No" that I bought in the low 30s a couple months ago, everything else is Bernie to win in post-Super Tuesday contests that I bought the last day or two. If Biden collapses (again, lol) in NH I might just cash in early if that gets to 80.

Are people betting on Bloomberg to win anything ever like, expecting the debate stage to blow up and take out the other 5 people ahead of him?

depends on when you did it; people that realized he wasn't dropping out after the heart attack are making a killing

Pro tip - buy Steyer Yes for Dem nominee now while it's 1 cent, because when he does well in SC he'll shoot up to where Bloomberg is at now (around 22 cents) and then you can sell and make your money.

Do NOT hold Steyer Yes for long if this strategy works, he is obviously not going to win the nomination.

I took seven bucks and threw it on this strategy, got 700 shares. If he even hits 10 cents, that's $70 right there

My best guess (on all these markets) is that $850 times 50 primary markets times 10 people is a rounding error compared to Bloomberg’s ad spend that he’s buying the shares simply to create a narrative.

edit: and that’s why I haven’t bought the “no” side on more of these insanely overpriced shares, because if he gets 10 more people to bet, those prices will be twice as high as they currently are.

edit2: yeah I didn’t even do the math on that, but it would only take about $1200 to take the price of Bloomberg in Florida to 60 cents.

FL is later in the process, like two weeks and another 8-10 primaries after Super Tuesday. Biden will be finished by then, and probably everyone else besides Bernie and maybe Buttigieg will be as well.

1999. What appeared to be a harmless meteorite crashing in the Nevada desert has turned out to be Darc Seed, an evil alien creature with horrible powers. By shooting strange magnetic rays, Darc Seed had turned the helpless nation into zombies and had brought the Statue of Liberty to life to do his dirty work. These rays had also given him control over many deadly weapons, but none were more powerful than the legendary samurai sword, Shura. When the great head of the samurai, Namakubi, heard that the sword had fallen into evil hands, he set off immediately for the United States. For only he possessed the strength and knowledge needed to recapture the magical sword and free the U.S. from the evil clutches of Darc Seed.

That Tom Steyer tip is pretty brilliant. He is gonna shoot up in value and we are gonna make some moola. I think im gonna put a sale order on 10c and not 23c where bloomberg is though

Yup, I did the same thing. He probably won't get up to Bloomberg levels but he'll definitely get pumped up a bit after doing "surprisingly" well in SC, and it's a pretty low risk investment at 1 cent.

Steyer winning the general is at 1 cent too, though it probably won't go up as much. for reference, liz winning the general is at 2 cents, klob or hillary winning the general is at 3 cents, and Joe is at 7 cents

The difference is that Steyer stands a good chance of actually doing well in SC, whereas Liz's campaign is DOA everywhere, Hillary ismt even running, Joe is self aabotaging. Klob i see doing a solid 3rd in NH and risinf in points. The others are poor choices.
