Not saying I think that's a bad bet, but the reason why Kasich might do well is that Hawaii is super liberal. I suspect it's vaguely similar to VT where Kasich did well.

It's fun to keep offering to buy Rubio 2nd in MI at 1% and watching everyone snap up the shares. Also opted to short Brokered convention on the basis of Rubio having a bad night tonight and my general rage at the thought.

Yeah, I am not sure if it's a good bet or not. It's hard to evaluate long shots. I feel like a guy with limited organization who has been focusing on the midwest is going to be a pretty big dog to win a closed caucus. There's no polling though. I might not bet against him at .99, but .95 seems favorable.

The problem with HI is a) it's a caucus and b) it's had zero polling. So we take the priors of a) national polls where TRUMP is crushing, b) TRUMP doing badly in caucuses and c) Cruz doing well in caucuses, d) hawaii being a super blue state and decide we have no idea what the outcome will be. And if we have no idea what the outcome will be, Any Candidate selling for 4c seems like a buy.

RCP doesn't have any national polls since Feb.

Right, that too

Lost a ton of equity on Clinton.MI, but I BOUGHT THE DIP and got some back.

Predictit on the MI Dems is not ready for live betting. Takes forever to get orders matched.

Yeah it def wasn't. GJ to those who bought the dip. I sold some at 40 and then some at 80 (lol), now im freerolling the rest.

goofball were you the one quoting your crap projections in the comments section?

i didn't bet on them, just curious

FWIW, I wanted to believe that North Carolina was going to be the "Michigan" of March 15th, but after hearing Sanders talk today and looking at berniefriendfinder.com, it looks like the primary focus is on Illinois/Ohio/Florida. If he isn't spending as much time in NC, the same magic may not happen there that happened in Michigan.

Got killed, lost 70% of my roll less than 24 hours after depositing, gg.

RIP. Sorry to hear that. The market is SUPER volatile. It looks like storm is settling a little bit after the craziness that transpired today. I'm looking at the prices now and I just don't think I know enough to make a +EV buy either way. Holding some cheap shares in MO and OH, I dumped NC at 11cents (got in at 4 cents lmao). May get back in to NC once the dust settles but I originally got in the NC market to dump after Bernie's upset in Michigan today and I'm gonna stick to that plan. My only regret is not trusting my gut more and investing more heavily in the March 15 states!! (other than Florida, i avoided than and will continue to avoid it).

After the initial slide all the way down to 10% Clinton spiked up to 60% briefly. For some reason, I elected not to get out then.

Of course the GOP MI polling was dead on, my Rubio 2nd shares were never close.

Let's all follow Google Trends to the promised land

Yeah after the Wayne results came in I saw that it was actually possible to still buy HillNO/BernYES for something crazy like 15 or 20 cents. The site was really unresponsive during that time though.

BTW, have any of you dove into the comments section of predictit? The "berniedinosocialist" guy makes me laugh so much.

Does anyone know what is going on with 5dimes politics lines? A couple weeks ago they had lines for every candidate and each state's primary. Why did they pull everything? Will the lines come back?

New market on predictit, lol

Will Trump be bleeped during the CNN/Univision debate?

Also markets on when Rubio and kasich will drop out

The market simultaneously has Kaisch a favorite in Ohio and a favorite to drop out of the race within two days. I guess they are expecting him to win and then drop out after a win. Why does that make sense?

The idea would be to simply deny TRUMP the delegates and force a brokered convention. However, that scenario doesn't get Kasich much because if he still wants to be President he needs to stay in. If Kasich manages to win OH, he'll stay in and camp out some place like Indiana or New Jersey and try to luckbox something.

Friends, I have done my research and found that Illinois is going to be Michigan 2.0. Follow me to the big money once again by betting Bernie.

The bad:
Google trends analysis not as overwhelmingly good for Bernie in Illinois as in Michigan (however - still several days to go)
Polls (more like LOLs, completely ignore those things)

The good:
-Relative facebook likes of Bernie vs Hillary in IL compared to US average (not as good as in Michigan however)
-Open primary (same as Michigan)
-Late registration (benefit over Michigan - HUGE)
-He is going for it in IL - check out these 3 new ads all set to air in IL today.
-I live in IL

All in all, the money is not as free as it was in Michigan, but I still think there is pretty good value here on a Bernie upset win - too bad the prediction markets have wised up though. If this were the same odds as Michigan I would be all in. The risk now is to take the action where the price is currently or try to wait for it to dip a bit lower, it has been dipping slowly.

Disclaimer: not betting the Dem side and wouldn't post if I was

The only times US polls fail big are when they quit the field before late breaking news or when they get their voter models wildly wrong. The Michigan primary was something like 80% from column A, 20% from column B. The voter models were meh, but what really did it was a big debate all about Flint (no polls after it) coupled with some Dems crossing over to the R primary thinking the Dem one was over.

Neither of these are a factor for Illinois. I fully expect the polls to be reasonable and Bernie to be crushed in every state with large spreads.
