Wow. I wonder how many morons bought JEB! contracts in September.
I’ve never liked the 10% haha.
People voting with their $’s.
Like people buying books or kindles from Amazon for an honest best book seller list versus the NY Slimes fake lists.
That explains my “I wouldn’t give Paul Ryan 2 cents” feeling
He is not the “bookies favorite.” He is the bettors’ favorite. All the bookies do is make sure the betting books balance...
Which is why this is such a good indicator. These are people putting their money down.
Also prediction Markets forecast Cruz to win Iowa

It’s the other 49 states that are the problem. And unfortunately for Ted, Iowa is swinging back to Mr. Trump.
Why the heck are NON-CANDIDATES like Martinez and Ryan in the betting mix?
“I wonder how many morons bought JEB! contracts in September”
Same people who made BIG campaign donations to Jeb! and Jeb! PACs, you know, those Country Club, Cadillac Conservatives who live in that wonderful bubble of gated communities, golf greens, caviar, and Dom Perignon.
Actually, it’s most likely, a bunch of really clueless Europeans who think Trump is a racist, fascist, blah blah blahist, and can’t possibly conceive he’s our next President.
Wow. Just a few days ago I posted the odds from oddshark and they have adjusted their odds too!

How does this work? Like Golf? Smaller is better?
Put up $100 dollars and the +150 is your payout.
$100 bet on Trump pays $150 These numbers take into account that there are so many people in the race.
In the race below Hillary is the heavy overall favorite so you would put up $100 to get $80
