    The worst of all worlds for Trump.

    Hillary 50
    Sanders 49

    97%? It says 81% on here:

    I have to say opinion polls are crap throughout the world.

    I can't believe the time I waste look at them and posting them.
    From now on all polls go to the bin, I won't even look at them.

    Cruz was leading most Iowa polls about 2 months ago, Hillary did win narrowly as most polls predicted

    Well not a great night for "the book"

    But £100 on Rubio Pres @ 5.0 and £35ish winnings onCruz makes it OK I guess ^^;

    I'll probably nil out/green up if it comes to that. I'm -300 Rubio for the GOP

    Still above water !

    Will reassess next after New Hampshire.

    Godsdammit I have to go to bed. At current rate of pickup Bernie may still win 49.8 vs Clinton 49.6, O'Malley 0.6. But sleepybye beckons: g'night, all.

    Rubio talking about Hillary maybe being "disqualified" as POTUS and unfit to be CIC as a "liar"...

    Hillary would beat him by an Obama margin, either a 2012 or 2008 one.

    Goodnight.

    Rubio has actually been polling better in Iowa recently than NH and SC and he still only came third, if Trump wins New Hampshire it is between him and Cruz in my view, anyway we shall see. Goodnight

    Yep the market is getting ahead of itself.

    Lets watch the New Hampshire polls though

    hmm.

    lost a fair bit on the iowa market (I went in big backing Rubio to win @ 25/1). Not sure I regret that bet, even though it lost.

    Anyway losses are more than made up for on the nomination/potus markets.

    My main trade was laying the Donald @evens a couple of days ago (tipped on here) - and rebalancing my book to favour Rubio. Just laid him off @ 1.8 for the nomination. I think that's too low, tbh.

    All in all pretty profitable, despite getting the entrance polls completely wrong!

    So the Democrat result is effectively a tie - no momentum in that for Clinton. 49.8 to 49.6 with 89% counted.

    Not a bad bet, actually.

    Hah kind of opposite for me.

    Made £36.76 profit on Cruz in Iowa, and got £100 on Rubio at 5.0 for POTUS (I'm kind of long the field (Except Bush) for the GOP nomination).

    The GOP nomination book has lost a fair chunk of EV though.

    @Pong Do you think the GOP market has overeacted a tad to Rubio ?

    So are the entrance polls typically any good?
