For this advice, please give me your hot picks, after you make them, so that I may piggyback.

Hot pick: bet against Rand on all the minor states where there isn't much money. You can get Noes for 80-95c. Bet against him for second place, too. There are still a few believers out there. Even if there aren't Yes orders out, they will occasionally show up and fill hundreds at a time, so putting your own No orders up top can pay off anytime a Paulbot decides to cash in their purestrain/bitcoin. You won't make a ton but it's a guaranteed return.

Safe betting there. And you can safely replace Paul with Sanders in just about any state south of the Mason-Dixon Line.

My portfolio is pretty evenly mixed between Sanders NO - guaranteed 500 bucks, Cruz NO - possibly 500 bucks, and Christie DROPOUT - highly unlikely but if it hits, lots of bucks. What I'm saying is diversify. Sanders NO is like a treasury bill, put all the money you can't lose in it.

I don't really get why you would sell your shares on a confident bet instead of keeping them and cashing out at $1.00? It's fun to read this thread but I could never actually bet money because I clearly don't understand how the market works.

It's fun to read this thread but I could never actually bet money because I clearly don't understand how the market works. Confidence is relative. There are some instances where you're near-certain on a market's outcome, but most of the time you can still be surprised. Taking profits early cuts out the risk. Other times you don't want to wait five months or whatever for a market to close so you take a small hit on your profits to get the money back early (and make more money in the meantime).

It's fun to read this thread but I could never actually bet money because I clearly don't understand how the market works. I call it the 'heart attack' margin. If a market is largely resolved and I'm sitting above $.95 I'll sell just because those last pennies aren't worth the odds of someone keeling over from a heart attack or whatever. That and it's better to take the majority of your money earned early so that you can turn it around into other bets and make even more money.

After I lost a couple hundred of my Bidenbux on CNN rolling over to let Fiorina into a debate after confirming and announcing that she had not qualified, the heart attacks feel like they're waiting around every corner.

The market goes into panic mode the day of elections and that may get you a price you can live with. Trump markets are super fun. When you shake the Hillary albatross you should get into that.

I'm still holding onto my Cruz YES shares in Iowa and betting on what is supposed to be a superior ground game, so that's how I'm planning on doubling my money, although it has been a tough week for me. And why no Iowa polls for over a week? How long does it take to call a few hundred people up and tell me what they said?

Also polls and news cycles are fleeting. Cruz is well-entrenched there and I expect (uhh, hope) that he's due for one more bounce before the voting begins. But the main thing is ground game and getting asses to the precincts. I suspect the market is reacting positively to Trump because of the Palin endorsement. But a general rule of politics is that endorsements and running mates cannot help you with voters -- they can either hurt you or have no effect. You'll get a quick bounce but then it dissipates. And in the end when Palin ran as veep it might have ultimately hurt McCain slightly, though I think there's some debate about that.

Dumped my ~1200 Cruz Iowa noes over the past 12 hours. Averaged probably 8c in profit a share. It's been fun, but I'm not sticking around to see this one out.

Betting for unlikely things is a good strategy too if there's a long time frame and you can buy shares at less than 5 cents. Like even something nearly impossible will fluctuate prices, if you buy thousands of shares of "aliens invade earth" at 3 cents and put an open offer to sell at 5 cents, you can just sit and wait and at some point some dummies will push up r price and you make a cool 66% profit

Agreed, I'm seeing if I can get to 10c profit a share, but Iowa still has the potential to get funky just because of the caucus system. The polls we're already seeing are tracking his decline, but will that decline be severe enough by the next set of polls?

Watching right wing garbage media is a good way to measure the group psychology and beliefs and expectations of morons with too much spending money. If you know how right wingers think, it's easy to bet against their stupid reactions to things
