    Did anyone bet on Clinton winning the popular vote and losing the election?

    An hour ago I bet 1.3k @ 5/1

    Wow this Arizona early vote is actually pretty good for Clinton. Democrats generally do better on Election Day. Trump up just .5

    Nah....it just doesn't compute that she could get a big swing in AZ, against the movements elsewhere.

    Nate Silver is "overriding" his model by declaring Michigan too close to call (previous forecast. 78.9% chance of a Clinton win).

    He still has FL as 50/50

    When Bush won (twice) we realised that the USA is nothing like the UK. With Obama, we fogot that lesson. Now, it is biting us in the arse again.

    Why is it going up, are they really confident that he wins Michigan and/or Pennsylvania?

    He means they want his head for telling everyone Clinton had won.

    Clinton lead in PA steady, a little north of 200k, 51% counted.

    Iowa looking as if it might be surprisingly tight too.

    Michigan+Arizona still gives Trump 269 though, and a vote in the House (except maybe for faithless electors?)

    He's throwing maths in the bin and looking at votes instead.

    His project margin in Michigan/Wisconsin keeps going up as more results come in.
    So their confidence level he wins those increases.

    They have him at almost certain to win Ohio, Fla and NC plus leading in PA, WI and MI.

    I bet Nate Silver is glad he allowed more uncertainty in his model

    NYT's current projection could give Trump as many as 305, including PA and IA. This is turning into a rout.

    Long time lurker, first time poster.

    I am currently on Trump for £90 at an average of 5/1. I put £5 on next president to lose popular vote at 7.2 on Betfair earlier this evening.

    I owe pretty much all my knowledge to this site (though I came damn close to cashing in at a 50% loss at 1 am!)

    Thank you all for your insightful commentary.
