Wouldn't bet no on literally all of those. Some no lines are insane though:

For just 300-1k, you should probably just go on PredictIt or Betfair if you have access to it.

It's called VOLUME because it's debate day. If you can't handle these swings, I'd suggest not betting in the future ESP if the $ means something to you.

10th anniversary of katrina?

my +1200 trump to win it all is looking good, though I don't think $120 is going to make me feel any better about him being president. though i'll gladly ship $10 to have hillary beat him

If Trump doesn't get a debate bounce, then I guess I'll just take whatever price I can get on Hillary at that point.

People loading up Trump here are silly, you think the market isn't pricing in Hillary weakness tonight? You are buying near the top, have fun burning $.

I'll take another $4k to win $2k on Hillary.

Same stipulations as before? Has to be Hillary or Trump win, anybody else wins it's no action.

I think the recent polls are the bigger factor in the betting (and stock) market movement.

If Trump wins your money won't be worth much anyway, so why not

yeah, tbh when i bought i didn't even think about market timing. i also bought most of the shares right before the whole basket of deplorables/having a seizure thing, pretty much the worst time in the last month or two i think.

oh well i guess i'm probably going to watch a presidential debate for the first time in my life tonight, maybe i will gain some key insights.
