The ideal scenario in the next day or so is that Patrick and Gabbard drop out on the same day, in that order, so you can pull the same maneuver.

I made some good money on Yang Death and Rules Fuckery tonight. Got out of my "Yang doesn't win any primaries" position at 99c when he announced he was dropping out, then threw a bunch of that money at 15 cent No on Yang being the next candidate to drop out knowing that the alphabetical order tiebreaker would resolve the market to Bennet if he dropped out on the same night. Lo and behold, Bennet dropped out just a few minutes later, and I sold all of those 15 cent Yang No shares for 99c moments later.

OK, what are the safe Nevada bets? I don't think Biden is going to win, but he's been up in all the polls so I don't feel totally comfortable with that one.

There's been so little polling in Nevada.

Yeah I fully expect Bernie to sweep the hispanic vote, but I also feel like that's one of the most vulnerable groups to any sort of disenfranchisement.

Yeah I just threw $50 into this market it seems like a sure thing, if nothing else you can get out after NV/SC when she'll be up to like 80 cents

I think the January fundraising FEC report comes out this Saturday (the 15th) so that may give us more clarity on dropouts. If Warren’s January fundraising is bad enough her dropout market probably bumps a few points on that news alone

It's all fake but there will be a price spike on Saturday and after NV and SC so ride it out a bit.

You can always put in a sell order for only some of the shares at different prices. That way it can cover some or all of your entry price depending on what you bought in at.

I'm guessing people are getting scared of the money machine and his rising polls but this seems way too imbalanced this early in the game.

A pathetically small amount of money. I just looked at MS for example, and right now it would take $103 to buy every Bloomberg.YES offer up to 70c.

He's almost certainly doing that. Very unfair to the kindly billionaire Steyer, who seems like a nice fellow. (Please do not ask whether I'm holding Steyer shares to flip them on an upswing.)

Bloomberg probably made more money in interest in the time it's taking us to have this exchange than it'd cost to pump all those predictit markets. Not sure any candidate knows or cares about what people on predictit think its happening though.

Reporters pay attention to it and write stories about it sometimes. Would be worth a trivially small sum to get a favorable note written in a major outlet.
