They should at least make it more blatant so I can make some decent money off of it

It's just a bit annoying that Bloomberg No still isn't a huge return and you're gonna have to wait forever to get your money out from it because of this pumping.

But it's free money.

Do you think he'll tank in price when he comes out on the debate stage and America collectively realizes he's short? I know Trump is tweeting about it all the time but the visual comparison is really gonna be something else.

It depends on who is pumping it and why. Expecting anything rational put of a market that clearly isn't atm seems risky

But yeah, i get you on it not being a great roi. I am not going to be throwing much money at it, if any, and while 20% is good, the $2 that that will work out to isn't worth getting excited about.

Now if he finishes pumping himself up to 99 cents yes....

Alright, I think I'm done. Maxed out on Bernie while this fake Bloomberg surge pushes the prices down. Also made a sidebet on Gabbard for VP if Bernie soars after Super Tuesday:



I bought Tulsi VP shares just to sell when she drops out and endorses Bernie. Unless he makes a shock pick that's gonna be her peak in that market.

It looks like it does have historical data for past counts and also you can set it up to send alerts

Still don't know if I want to start delving those depths, will take a closer look at it once not on mobile

For erratic accounts like Trump and AOC tweet markets are basically 24-hour affairs where you can play swings. For more reliable accounts like the Biden and Sanders campaigns it's a weeklong investment where you put your money into a middle bracket based on their regular activity +/- upcoming events that will facilitate more or fewer posts.

I hope I don't regret holding my Biden No in SC position through Tues night, it's down about .22 from the high that night. Still plenty of time for him to bomb another debate and finish behind Steyer in NV, I guess

just lost five bucks on this play :negative: tempted to cash out

I was expecting to be able to make a quick profit off of her terrible fundraising numbers but i guess there's still two primaries for her to do terribly in between now and March 3rd

Don't cash out. Her fundraising is likely poo poo so when FEC numbers come out there should be a spike. She may do well in NV but she sure as poo poo isn't going to in SC so you'll have the drop out Yes raising as results come in.

Yeah, just like Biden was polling 22% in Iowa? And then ate poo poo?

Biden No is still free money imo and his prices will plummet when he gets 3rd or worse in Nevada

I had like $200 sitting around and threw it in at 10c on SC. I’m waiting until after NV to see how it goes but I’m currently 50/50 on bailing out before the SC primary.

I had planned to wait until it hit 33c before I bailed with my winnings, but now I’m getting emotionally invested and am making bad decisions.

At the very least I stopped adding cash to PI once I hit my planned budget.

Be extremely wary when comparing polling in a caucus state to a normal primary. Caucuses deflate turnout and over represent the most fervent of supporters due to the time investment.
