My experience is that the betting gets more accurate as the goal line gets near.
I guess we'll see if it rings true again tonight.
Cruz's odds have moved from 1 in 2.5 to 1 in 3.33.
And Trump has moved from 1 in 1.5 to 1 in 1.29.
As I read it, that means that a Cruz bet for a $1 pays $3.33 and a Trump bet for $1.00 pays $1.29.
In other words, if I read it correctly, Trump's odd of winning are improving and Cruz's are slipping.
Rubio is still way out in space...paying nearly $10.00 for every $1.00 bet if perchance he should win.
If I am reading the odds incorrectly, I invite you to please set the record straight.

There was a big swing toward Gore about this time.....we all know how that turned out.
In the betting? Or in the sentiment?
Link please!
What, are you crazy?
I was watching Intrade all day and remember it happening starting about 4;00 EST. Then the vote tally began coming in and the crash and burn.
In the betting.....a lot of it was caused by eronious exit polls being reported.

He lost Iowa? I seriously don’t know what you are referring too.
Can you interpret the Dem odds?

Bookies always cover their bets. If too many are betting on Trump the odds on Cruz will get better. Then there’s always the juice. If a bookie breaks even he still gets his juice. And that’s his goal.

John Stossel of Foxnews put together a useful site that gathers the overseas (British) betting information.

Your welcome.
Works the same way for stocks. Those who hedge get out of the game...leaving the REAL players in the fight.
And if you picked Jebbie Bush, you have a better chance with Powerball.
The site I linked to covers all the betting sites. But thx for your welcome effort.;-)
Sounds about right...but we'll see in just a little while.
I’m betting on Gilmore.
I’ve always wanted to be a millionaire.
Odds makers overseas giving 6 to 1 odds for Cruz winning in Iowa, and 1 to 1 odds for Trump winning:

“U.K. odds makers either know something we don’t know or are slipping on their odds as placing Cruz at 6/1 seems like a bad bet for the house. A $100 bet on Cruz would pay out $600 if the Canadian-born senator were to win the GOP nomination.
As for Trump, betting on the billionaire just doesn’t pay with the favorable odds. A $100 bet would yield $100.”

Well, I guess you want us all to bow and thank you, emotional cripple.
It still won't heal you...but it is nice to see you live up to your name.
At least you admit it. More than many can say.
