Would they be pro- or anti-Iran deal? I assume pro, because that means more oil, but they're pure evil, and I can't pretend to know how that works.

Pro. Big Oil is about the only American industry that can regularly tell Israel to get hosed.

I just sold all my Walker NO shares at .85, someone put up over 100 shares at several cents above the next-best offer. That just freed up a bunch for day-trading, though I still think Jeb has a ways to plummet.

The Romney YES spread is 10/5 now, lol

The primary is such an absolute clusterfuck that I actually don't think that's a bad price.

Jeb is already underwater in the RCP average and he's had a bad week. NO should win out in the end and steadily trend toward 100% throughout the month imo, y'all jump in on it now.

We're two weeks from the debate, I have no problem taking both those bets for at least until the day of the debate.

I like the No side of Jeb! polling below 10% on September 30, at least in the short term. There's a CNN poll from 8/16 that has him at 13, once that goes away his RCP average will be down to 8. Plus Trump's probably going to make him cry at the debate.

This is why I'm holding, I was able to buy in at 51. I'm prepared to dump if he does something good on Colbert tomorrow, but that's unlikely imo.

PredictIt now has Bernie Sanders favored to win Iowa if y'all want to stock up on NO shares. I have Bernie at NO at .71 and have to hold on probably until December :(

I'd say that's a good buy around November of next year to sell in January.

I think Boehner would rather break the Hastert Rule than give in to the crazies and shut everything down again. Just bought big into NO.

The crazies were more important last Congress, but this round has more Republicans period, therefore Boehner's buffer is larger.

I bought about 50 shutdown NO shares at $.51 and I'm keeping them. McConnell, Cornyn and Boehner are publicly against a shutdown and like I said on the previous page, Boehner has a larger buffer between the goal line and the crazies because of 2014 gains.

I can't stomach the volatility, y'all really think the YES will bump up toward the deadline despite all signs pointing toward NO?

edit goddamn that's a good sell price, but an eight-cent differential on the buy/sell may be too much for me.

Okay, Bernie winning Iowa: I'm sitting at $.71 NO and I can currently sell at $.40. I should definitely sit on this, right? Hillary's bound for a rebound, conventional wisdom says.

I bought 100 shares that Rubio was going to win the debate for some reason. Luckily they were like 12 cents. I'm hoping there's a bump when the next poll comes out so I can unload them.

When the next poll comes out, the market will close.

GREXIT is still my only bad decision to date. I won big on the Greek Referendum and dove straight into grexit without thinking; bought at .43 and sold at .19. It's at .08 right now.

How do you get that from the rules here? I can only read that as that it closes on the 23rd.

Ah, you're playing that market until its dying hours. That's what I meant anyway; it'll only take a few days until the post-debate polls come out and it'll close. I guess you'll see some weird swings between now and then.

It's only 80 cents to buy that Walker will not be the next to drop out (Yes is selling for 38). If that price goes down some more it'd be a steal, no way Kochs give up on him so early.

There's a Wisconsin debate in November. Someone else will drop out before that; Walker NO is a sure bet.

Got a nice ride out of my Biden YES so I flipped it into Shutdown YES at 52 cents. This thing is going down the wire, so I figure the longer I hold on, the better. I plan on cashing out on that final afternoon at whatever I can get for my shares.

i'd cash out the day before; things tend to get leaked and nothing ever actually comes down to the wire on CSPAN

That's exactly what's happening. I sold all my,no shares but two at .45, then refreshed and 100 more .45 shares were available so I got out completely.

Man, I thought Huckabee was the worst, but Walker just cost me 30 bucks. gently caress him.

i do a lot of bets that are on other sides of the seesaw between getting money and real-life benefit; for instance, I have money on Bernie not winning Iowa. If he wins, I lose money but I'll still be happy.

I just bought into Biden NO when I saw it was down to .43 again, then I read the comments, then I freaked the gently caress out and came here. I think I'm going to hold on.

If they close the market because of this poo poo I'm cashing out and am done with the site; Necc0 is correct in that it'll ruin their reputation.
