Bleak for Rubio. In Kansas alone he needed 13, according to 5-30-8. So far zero.

A fortnight ago Cruz was 70/1 to be the nominee on Betfair.

I like these kind of markets.

Rubio drifted out to 9 on BF since I last looked.

Would-be Labour mayor's top adviser is suspended after his homophobic, racist and sexist tweets are exposed

A question for those who know about these things - would John Kasich be likely to benefit were Marco Rubio to withdraw from the GOP contest in the near future?

In Florida, Trump's key mission will now be to ensure Cruz doesn't take it, even if that means soft-pedalling Rubio - and focussing his efforts elsewhere

Given that Kansas is a caucus, there was always a high chance of Trump underperforming considerably.

Quite agree, but I heard about this on talkSPORT a few minutes ago, when the media guy was going very strong on it - with the Sunday Telegraph claiming it as an "exclusive", whatever that means!

So, upcoming for Republicans this week are Puerto Rico, presumed Rubio but surely non-Trump; Hawaii and Idaho, caucuses which don't favour Trump, more so Hawaii; Mississippi which must by now be competitively Trump v Cruz; and Michigan in which Kasich looks like he will win or come 4th or anything in between. Then DC - a few thousand rock-ribbed establishment Republicans. So, I am negative outlook on Trump sentiment through next weekend, so perhaps buy Cruz now and top up on Trump later?

Having read this evening's posts 1 or 2 are upset by name calling, come on this is the internet, of course people react differently than they would in "real life", whatever that may be. It's the contempt I find uncomfortable, as a long term conservative voter I always struggled with the "right to rule" ethos.

I've been called all sorts of names on here, meh, if in the unlikely event I attended a pb drink up I know nobody would call me those names. I'd be very happy to continue with my long standing disdain for Cameron, I knew plenty would twig in the end.

Well I recently backed Trump for POTUS at 4.3 - not wanting to completely miss the Trump
bandwagon - just as the band started to leave the wagon! He is now 6.4-6.6.

Also, a while ago I backed Cruz for the GOP nomination at 5.0 - and had pretty much written this bet off. Cruz is now into 5.6-5.7 for the nomination. So this bet is unexpectedly back in play.

It's all swings and roundabouts. Not sure overall whether I'm better off or not. I think I would prefer to be back on the ground!

2. Trump, Winner: Democrats

And a landslide win for Democrats, even if they pick Ryan or person X at the convention, the Republican party looks like an unrepearable mess, it reminds me of Syria.

Yeap that's the correct analogy:

I will be certain who wins Kentucky when more counties come in, including Franklin.
Though Trump has the early lead.

I think the margin in Maine for Cruz may go down.

Yes Trump is doing better as the later results come in

Not really enough, I'd say a lead of ~8%

I think Paul Ryan is the bet on today's results.

Winning party: Democrats.

Well, maybe. But 200/1 is a bit sexier than 1/2.

Why Ryan and not Romney ?

Romney weilded the knife, so can not stand ?

Also do you think Rubio's goose is cooked ?

I had a moment earlier in the day when I though a bet on Romney was not totally mad, but he's lost twice, so maybe he is more kingmaker these days?

Romney's already lost - a fresher face would be sensible. I'd rather take Ryan at the same price.

Rubio's goose is in a Floridian oven.

Loads of panic tonight, and plenty of betting opportunities.

Bottom line: Cruz might have shaved the grand total of 10 delegates off of Trump's lead...

Tipping point?

Soit's looking like cruz gets Kansas and maine.

and Kentucky looks good for him.

3/4?

Maine - only one precinct so far?

see here: http://www.decisiondeskhq.com/results/2016/primary/gop/president/maine/

Thanks, but how come this website has results way ahead of Politico or NY Times?

They get them at the source on the count.
They don't wait for the official ones from AP.

They are at odds with RCP's counts. Check Kansas 97% reporting - a lot of difference in the two sets of figures.

I don't doubt that the official results are more accurate.
Speed comes with declining accuracy.

Incidentally Rod your spreadsheet is allocating 24 delegates in Maine atm (or the one I'm using is, anyway)

If this resolves to Biden v Ryan the drinks are on me at the next PB meet.

So I'm back.

I was right again wasn't I ?

On Kansas yes and Maine probably but not if Kentucky is anything to go by and maybe not when Louisiana gets in either

I will be certain who wins Kentucky when more counties come in, including Franklin.
Though Trump has the early lead.

I think the margin in Maine for Cruz may go down.

Yes Trump is doing better as the later results come in

Not really enough, I'd say a lead of ~8%

Even if he wins Kentucky and Louisiana by just 1 vote that is a huge change in the narrative from a Cruz clean sweep to a 50-50 split of the states tonight

First Kansas results show a near tie Trump-Cruz, only 1% so far though.

Eh? I've got NY Times saying: 50 to 24 (Trump, Cruz).

Sorry, meant Kentucky

KY picked the last three GOP nominees I think.

I agree completely. (I don't really like Trump but I despise Cruz.)

When are we expecting first LA results?

You'd have to favour Biden I'd have thought. Seeing as the Trump voters won't come out for him, and Biden's votes will be motivated by the FBI.

So far it does not (knock wood).

They close at 1 AM, so first results probably at 1:30AM.
I hope I haven't mixed Eastern Time with Central Time and GMT.

Laying into the POTUS market feels so weird.

Trouble is that there are 2 GOP strategies floating around. 1) All the non-trump candidates stay in and try and force a contested convention by denying Trump a majority, 2) Non-trump votes focus on one candidate, the others dropping out.

Guess which one the remaining non-trump candidates believe in?

Indeed but at looks like those two will be the final pair standing in two weeks time, with Trump likely wrapping it up by the end of April

It will be neither, unless Clinton is found guilty of treason it will be Clinton v Trump
