It’s not my favorite bet on this site but it is sexy. I had Bernie at an average of 10c but I sold them all to pick up Bloomberg running shares and had to buy them back afterwards.

Still free money to be had here. Yang's real odds of winning a primary contest at this point are under 1%.

Bernie is blowing up in Iowa. 60c+. Probably not justifiable from an analytical perspective, but on the other hand, Bernie Will Win.

I'm debating whether I should cash out after he wins NH or not. Only thing I'm worried about for holding long-term is some freak accident since we live in hellworld:

I’m in line for big gains from the Bern man but my numbers are puny because I got my clock cleaned by hubris in 2016 and vowed never to throw additional funds into this degenerate website. My big mistake was last minute moving my hedge (no on Trump >370 EVs) to Trump.NO. Would have preserved about half my bankroll if I’d left that alone, instead I was left with like 15% of it.

I would probably sell part of it, then sell another part after the spike when Bernie wins NH. There's no accounting for DNC fuckery and 27c is a very good price.

I’ve definitely been way more cautious after getting burned during 2016 as well. I had 1000 shares of Bernie for the primary at 8 cents each and I’ve been selling some here and there as it’s gone up. I’ve already made back my initial investment and I’ll probably cash out most of my shares after NH.

My big sell order on Bernie in New Hampshire went through yesterday at 80c so I've bought the other side for huge negative risk. Happy primary season everyone.

Rhino, you did this to me!

My bets are small change but I still made a pretty penny off of Buttigieg's early declaration of victory, the complete flip the other way after and then the second bounce, that was fun. Also I'd laugh really loving hard of some major news was announced while Predictit maintenance was happening, although I guess that's unlikely.

Bernie is sitting at $0.69 (nice) and I'm sorely tempted to do the same

I definitely underestimated the ratfucking.

Still, Bernie is at $0.25 in Iowa so if you believe his campaign that a good buy

someone said in one of the other threads they sold Bernie at 70c and bought back in at 25c.

HOLD ON BERNO!!!!

I had the site open when the “results” first came out on live tv and I just stared at it instead of doing the sell and rebuy lower pro move. I was also double my money last night but held out for more. I always need to leave myself the option for catastrophic failure!

I think Bernie will close the gap a bit but it's going to be insanely close. Those 100% Berno satellite results would have to be the key.

The predictit rules say It is based on state delegate equivalent count which goes down to the tenths or hundredths decimal. The market will not be determined by alphabetical order.
