Rhino, you did this to me!

Managed to get Buttigieg nos when it was around 70 cents for NH. Not planning on playing any flips since I have to work during most of this.
Also grabbed some Buttigieg nos for second place just for the hell of it, gonna see what happens.

There is a nonzero chance Klobmentum surges past Pete for 2nd, but he definitely seems like the favorite for the silver medal based on poll trends

NV is shaping up to be another ratfuck, they're going with a blackbox app and apparently they hired a buttgig person to be in charge of electoral integrity. lol. NV butt could be worth a punt

Yeah my NH got filled at 82 earlier this morning. Not sure where to put it to catch a post-NH bump now. Kinda get the feeling I should just roll state win profits in to the nomination itself at this point. Betting margin of victory feels like a fool's errand.

looking at the rules, the funniest thing that could happen is that the Iowa caucus is just tossed completely in which case all bets resolve as ‘no’

The smart money was on buying Bernie Y and Butt N while Iowa was still contested. I got both at 69 (nice) and 30.

e: I misread your post and it looks like you did that exact thing.

Klob is hovering at 4¢ in NH. I know she won’t win but I grabbed shares this morning to sell later today when (hopefully) she’s closer to 7-8¢

its a risky strategy but we’ll see how it plays out

I’m getting out of the NV caucus market. Too many signs they are setting it up to be as hosed up as Iowa so I’m taking my 23 cent gains and running.

I grabbed like 300 shares at .03 and sold for .05. Maybe I could have held for a bit more but it's $6 versus $12. Whatever. Still all-in on Bern to win.

I’m of the ‘everyone will be watching this time’ strain of thought, but definitely not as confident as I would be if Pete staffers weren’t running it.

people have no idea what to expect in the MN primary, Klob is fluctuating by like 7 cents at a time because home state! but last time MN went hard for Bernie! But home state!

Nobody cared about Klobuchar's seat in both the primary and the general because Franken's old seat was up at the same time. I completely forgot there were 2 senate races until I saw the ballot. DFL won both senate elections easily though so :shrug:

After seeing this thread, I joined the night of the Iowa caucus and holy poo poo I'm hooked after that wild ride. For someone new to this kind of trading, is just taking the profit on 80 cent markets as they resolve a bad plan? I'm working on understanding a lot of the concepts in this thread as far as actual trading strategies, but just betting the front runner in primaries seems like free money if you time it right.

That's just what I would call a conservative investment strategy. When the chance of something is 99%, but the market's only 80%. I did that recently with Trump Conviction No and Bloomberg No.

Two things to watch out for though.
1. Make sure the chance is actually higher than what you're paying. If you're buying shares of something with a 4/5 chance for 80 cents, you're not actually making money.
2. Making money this way will be slow. Markets like this usually take a while to resolve (that's part of what causes the uncertainty) and your payout is only 125%.

Remember Predictit when Bernie has a heart attack and drop $5k into this stupid thing in a desperate attempt to get back your $4k in losses from the 2016 general.

They were able to gently caress with Iowa because it was so close. It was close because Pete poured most of his resources into the state for months, and it’s extremely white. Pete has much weaker ground game in Nevada by comparison, meanwhile Bernie has been canvassing there for months. NV is also heavily Latino, which is Bernie’s strongest racial demographic and has been consistently for months and months. Nevada will not be close enough for Iowa type fuckery.
