I just want to establish this rule right now : Whether or not Biden ends up running whoever ends up being right isn't allowed to gloat about it too much. You can gloat a bit though. Just a bit.

Can I gloat extra for having kept the same position for months?

Yeah exactly. It almost feels like Biden.Run all over again where I have all the Very Serious people telling me to ignore the reality right in front of me. The guy is filling stadiums on an almost daily basis.

If he maintains this lead into the new year I'm going to start letting off my Trump.No shares. If he takes New Hampshire & South Carolina I'll liquidate.

No matter what happens I got a hell of a lot of Bush No for cheap :devil:

I'm the one who was right about Biden No from the very beginning no matter how bad the hype got, and regarding Trump, I can tell you one thing: I don't know lol.

TRUMP.SWEEP4.NO trading at 76¢ seems like quick easy money if he doesn't win in Iowa.

If you think he's going to lose Iowa, you can actually make more money off of CRUZ.IACAUCUS16.GOP at 62¢. I mean, unless you think someone else would take it.

I'd be cautious, like usual, with Trump bets. We're in totally uncharted territory with him skipping the debate. I personally expect him to win but it's not that certain.

Something I've never understood: what's with all the comments supporting predictions? Isn't that irrational to do, if you're actually stating what you believe, since it's encouraging the market to move against your moneymaking? Or are they all saying the opposite of what they think?

Tomorrow at 5:30 there's going to be a stream on desmoinesregister.com leading up to a 5:45 announcement of the polling results. This is the one done by a legendary revered pollster famous for predicting Obama in 2008. It's probably going to affect the Iowa markets a lot. Just a heads up.

I think it's probably undervalued but I also think he's likely to drop more before the primary. I also think there's a chance he won't recover at all and Trump will actually pull off the nomination lmao

I think it's going to go up a little bit from the UMASS poll where he's second, and peak before the primary. But yeah it could stay depressed if he doesn't come in second.

Agreed about Rubio, but I'm one of the people who thinks Cruz has practically zero chance so to me he's overvalued.

Btw the midnight votes gave Cruz and Kasich boosts for NH win, because people who use predictit are stupid.

Corrupt Politician posted:

I have a bunch of USPREZ16.SANDERS.NO worth a lot less than I paid for them in December. It's currently at 77c and I'm trying to decide whether to sell now. I guess it depends whether his NH win is already baked into that number, although I can't imagine a justification for it going much lower unless he wins by like 25 points.

The answer to "is the outcome baked in" is almost always "no." So you could probably make more money selling afterwards as long as Bernie's margin isn't embarrassingly small.

Is it just me or is it weird that Kasich.2nd place is 50c but Jeb! is like 9c, despite being more or less statistically tied?

I think it's a combination of the narrative about Kasichmentum, Jeb's impenetrable aura of failure, and the midnight votes.
