Wild swing for Bush today at Trade Sports with regard to New Mexico. Goes from 46 to 60 in one day.
I noticed that a couple hours ago. Based on my spreadsheet of electoral college as decided by tradesports, it is Bush 296 Lurch 242
I'm not very good at poking around at that site. Is there any way to tell whether this is the work of a single trader trying to influence things? Or is this due to the Zogby poll?
No way to tell, as far as I know. Perhaps someone knows something. Perhaps it is manipulation. As for the motive of that kind of manipulation, I have no idea.
Bill Richardson just saw the latest NM internals, figured he'd might as well make a few bucks..
Everyone needs tequila money, right?
Yup..he never got reimbursed for the hotel room where he interviewed Monica for a job...
Hey! I said tequila money, not whore money.
I'll be glad when this election is over and I won't have to see the words 'tradesports' and 'iowa electronic market' for another 4 years.
LOL! You mean you're not gonna be intently following the chances of Oklahoma to win the BCS? Or the odds of one of the Olsen Twins getting arrested?
No. And I'm not very keen on all the fretting people do over these sites when it comes to the election.
