You won't be making any money after the primaries. Hell, in 1 week the US media will pick up that he's likely to win the nomination, so you have a few days to scrounge together the money. A Dem is winning the general, so once Bernie wins the nomination its a guaranteed victory.

Haha millennials vote ok

>>1021420

1. History. Jan 7, 2007, new polls showed Obama's lead over Hillary in the general. 1 week before that, all polls and all analysts were saying Hillary had the victory.

2. We're getting closer to primaries. Many analysts are already confident about Bernie taking NH.

3. New year, new news. Hillary and Trump are 2015's stories.

>>1021426

Most sites should have an option to cash out. Unless you're betting from somewhere where it's illegal, no site can ignore your request to cash out unless they expressly say they can.

>>1021433

Millennials barely rallied for Obama, and they're rallying even harder for Sanders.

incumbent party neverwin if there is a recession, and US will likely fall into a recession by 2016.

>>1021480

As a result of?

>>1021481

most economic indicators are flashing recession warning at the same time Janet Yellen is hiking interest rate, she plan to hike 4 times next year.

>>1021483

She plans to raise rates in the future just as much as she planned to raise rates in early 2014. She won't follow up on it if the economic indicators are poor. Rates only went up this year because job data was good enough to warrant it. Truthfully, the rate was hiked in order to brace for a potential recession and re-instill faith in the US economy.

If a recession occurs, it won't be the Fed's fault.

>>1021485
we are in a rising rate environment and hikes continuing is the default, unless something of some magnitude happens. 2-3 hikes in 2016. seeing how bearish people on this board are on US economy just makes that case stronger. same people that have been calling for lower SPX since 2010 are the same ones calling recession in 2016. 9 out of 10 times negativity doesnt pay.

>>1021493

people are bearish on US economy because the data are bearish, parts of US economy is already in recession. so called US manufacturing renaissance ended as soon as it began.

Clinton had a lot of endorsements in the 2008 elections and she got BTFO by Obama. She always lead before the primaries because her voters are old hags who still use the landlines. Clinton lost because of social media. Also Trump will use Bill Clinton sexual assault history, Chelsea is not the daughter of bill, their history of corruption, and so. She's walking into an ambush. There is a reason why people fear Sanders and that's because he has a clean life and wants to end the unregulated nature of the derivatives market.

Shillery literally had half the delegates needed and no one has even voted.

Berntards don't realize that the nomination has been promised to her. This is the sole reason he can make ridiculous claims in his campaign

>>1021588
Just like in 2008. Yet, she lost those delegates to Obama. Also at the end of this month, the FBI is publishing their finding of the emails. Its a promise but its not binding.

I have a friend who was telling me about that poll too. Its not really all that impressive. Its predicted correctly, but for a fairly short amount of time. Factor that with the amount of groups making these predictions in the first place and their informed guesses begin to feel fairly weak. As advanced as stats are, this podunk school doesn't have some magic metric that's right all of the time. It's certainly not a strong enough assessment to bet the house on.

>>1021342

> Sanders
> winning

If you were a betting man you would've seen the rise of Trump and bet on him winning the republican nominee (not general). I get paid 12x what I put in if he manages that.

Sanders not going to win against Clinton.

Reason I didn't bet anything for Trump in the general is because I'm really not sure at that point if he will win vs Clinton and I still am not very sure.

>>1021505
You're not entirely mistaken. Some statistics indicate that the economy is growing. But honestly I can't really see it. The salaries are not increasing, neither is unemployment decreasing.

Of course to analyze an entire economy you need to focus on many more aspects. A recession most likely will come from Europe and the inept and corrupt EU that is governing it. EU is a ticking time bomb with multiple countries who have a 100% debt to GDP ratio (mostly southern countries).

Its a problem because they have a shared coin. Which means southern countries can't just devalue their coin to attract business and it will pretty much just stay like this. Because everyone is borrowing money from one another there constantly is created new money to keep the lending scheme going. At one point this is bound to go wrong sometime pretty much everyone says the same, though at what point is not known.

>>1021739
You must not frequent social media a lot. The youth of this country are going to take the polls this year. Anyone over 40 won't even be heard. Spend 30 minutes on #BlackTwitter and you'll see exactly which way this country is heading. Whether you like it or not.

>>1021747
But blacks are only 10% of your country.

Clinton or Trump will likely take the presidential as is.

I don't really see anyone else but Trump winning the nominee just because he generates so much more attention and excitement than all the other republican candidates. Plus he didn't even start his advertising campaign yet, all I've seen him do is speech and use twitter for his campaign.

That's what is worrying for Clinton she doesn't really have much to use to make people vote for her. The presidentials are still pretty far away and it seems that Clinton won't really be able to keep this up, especially in the general.

Sanders gets little financial support. This means that people don't believe he has a chance of winning. Some subreddits aren't really an accurate representation. It would be quite funny if he were to win the presidential though.

He has the largest donation bloc. Clinton receive a lot of money from super-pacs. Just like 2008 she lost to Obama. She's also not very popular within the DNC. A lot of people hate her in both side of the aisle. There is a lot of women who hate her because she allowed her husband to cheat on her. That's a huge fucking no no with women. Clinton is still going to get hammer with Benghazi and her husband history of sexual assault. The only reason she is getting a lot of money is because she's sellout. She jumps ship the moment it becomes hot. Sanders who have received more money than Clinton but he doesn't want pac money. But he is getting endorsed by a lot of powerful groups. The reason she is winning in polls its because those polls are conducted through landlines. Tell who uses a landline these days? Most people use their cell phones.

>>1022051
sanders is raising taxes for everybody but the poor, donald is removing taxes for the poor and lower middle class and lowering taxes for everybody else while closing loopholes. sanders needs the middle class' tax money to pay for his free candy seeing as we can't pay for what we spend right now with 60% of our budget coming from the upper class.

An arbitrage opportunity is one where you get a risk free profit. Yes this can occur with the miss-pricing of goods/services but it needs to be risk free. Betting is inherently a risky task.

A typical arbitrage opportunity is to organize to buy 1 apple for $1 off an individual and sell it for $2 to another individual. You are exploiting market miss-pricing and the transaction will be risk free if you simultaneously lock in contracts with each of the buyers & sellers.

>>1022488

politico is literally liberal propaganda.

bernies plans are economically infeasable and require a MASSIVE increase in government size,budget, and revenue, which will lead to more taxes, more money printing, and shittier healthcare. his entire policy rides on the chance that the usa becomes single payer

But it doesn't.

>>1022681
According to you? Or do you have sources with statistics in them?

>>1022678
the reason the usa does that, is bc it is protecting all those other nations. the EU doesnt spend shit on defense bc if it came to war NATO would step in aka the USA would foot the majority of the bill.

we cannot ever decrease military spending bc our money is getting weaker, we just dont need to increase it for a long time

did you know that our liabilities like social security and other medical things cost us ~41% of our entire budget?

But we're fighting bands of goat herders. Because of our nuclear deterrents, it's impossible for a state to seriously pose a threat to the US that wouldn't otherwise end in global nuclear annihilation. Therefore we'll continue fighting bands of goat herders.

Also, I'm not sure what you're on about with currenncy devaluation. Those relative spending figures are PPP-adjusted.

>>1022706
But that puts the US at dead last, behind all the other countries with policies similar to what Sanders is promoting.

>>1022720
and we shouldnt even be fighting the sand people, it should of ended by now, but our failed foreign policy as well as growing hostility geopolitically led us all here. there is no going back.

even if we taxed the 1% by 100% it wouldnt cover our expenses.

i say our currency is devalued bc the majority of it is held outside of our borders+ the federal reserve printed more money since 2006 than all us currency that has ever existed

Finance, healthcare and construction are the most heavily regulated industries. It's bizarre that those are the ones with the most problems.

He's going cut 35$ trillion from the out of control medicare/caid. Tax the derivatives market. Both of these will pay for his policies. Sanders wants a single payer healthcare system, which is what Obama wanted because its literally cheaper than everything else. Obamacare is hijacked lobbyist from insurance and phram companies to benefit them.

>>1022675
>thats becuase they dont pay for their own defense
Source: My ass.
France, UK, Germany, Italy, Western Europe in general spend a lot on defense. Especially the frogs and teafags. Germany maintains the eighth most expensive army in the world. Italy is also in the top 10. We spent too much on the military because we have out of date weapon systems that require a lot of maintenance. This is due to corruption.

>France, UK, Germany, Italy, Western Europe in general spend a lot on defense.
It doesn't matter, since they can't act in unison and have presence outside of Europe, due to a lack of aircraft carriers and other important logistics equipment.

Everything is pegged to the US dollar for a reason: they're the ones who have been delegated with the task of securing trade routes and upholding stability in most parts of the world.

We'll never see a federalist Europe and we'll thus never see a waning USA - chinks and indians are not a threat.

It's also shittier than your current system, if quality of care is to be considered a valuable factor.

Advice taken, /biz/.

Worse comes to worse I've spent more money on stupider shit. I can stand to lose $100.

So go Sanders 2016.

Where is the screenshot from?

I just saw this and my betting agency is offering $8 for sanders. Did i miss the boat?

Don't listen to this faggot. Bernie has no chance. In fact, he should be at higher odds.

>>1026433

You should have bet on Trump to be the nominee months ago. He was at 5-8 dollars odds. Don't waste it on Bernie.

there goes nothing i did bet on le bernie... because that's what i want for the united-staters as citizen... i probably should have used my head and spare me this expense since i am poor. thats so typically me: bet on what i want to happen instead of what i think will happen.

Can someone explain why taxes keep going up??? It feels like we pay way too much money to fuel federal spending that nobody really even wants in the first place. I'm not very smart when it comes to politics or business but it seems like we really only need a federal government for military, disaster relief/coast guard/national guard, and for foreign relations and decisions on what to do in world politics.

Serious question. I mean why are there so many federal jobs and positions in DC. Why do they tax the shit out of us to pay for stuff most people don't even want. meanwhile we can't get shit we DO want with our tax money like wider interstates. More money for states to pay for better schools and roads and better public services like EMT's and firefighters and stuff...

Idk man like I said I'm not really super well-versed on all this stuff but the more I think about it the more pissed off i get wondering where all that money goes. Seriously.

>>1027019

Almost everything you just listed are actually State responsibilities except possibly wider interstates. You would be shocked at how little the Federal government actually touches your life on a daily basis.

99% of what you think of being related to government is actually State government

>>1027019
Poor ole' Bernie does make $192,000 a year being a senator...
And because government in the job to makes itself more money and power, silly.

Very few people in the country vote. Welfare fags vote in droves because it's their livelihood. Democrats exchange money for votes. The machine keeps demanding more.

Do i bet on bernie or not you spaghetti brains
Anyone have any data to back up there claim that bernie is going to win?

>>1027042

That's what's amazing. Your state provides pretty much everything with a tiny income tax or sales tax or property tax or some combination there of. The federal gov needs a massive tax to provide fuckalll to the average citizen.

>>1021612
this.

but that's academia for you so I guess it shouldn't be surprising.

>>1027042
>>1027120

This is what I'm talking about. I know that the things I listed in the second part of what I said are state responsibilities. But I'm not asking for much. If you're gonna tax the shit out of me it should at least benefit me right???

I make decent money too, It's EXTREMELY expensive to be 'poor' or make minimum wage or below in this country because of the way taxes are set up. I personally think you shouldn't have to pay taxes if you make below a certain amount. Maybe this could be sort of like a grace period for young adults? Have enough time to work, pay off student loans or save enough to put yourself through school. Then once you reach a certain age, maybe like 30 or 35 or something you'd start paying more depending on what you make? A bank will work with you to find interest rates and monthly payment plans that you can actually pay. If the government is saying it needs a certain amount from a citizen to continue providing services like having access to police and 911 and firefighters then why shouldn't I be able to pay taxes in a way that just lets everyone win???

More money in the pockets of young adults means less debt, which in turn means more spending money. People can have a higher standard of living and there is an increased demand for goods and services and the economy is helped.

>>1027077
I don't think that important and qualified officials should work for free, you gave to create incentive for talented and smart people to take such a stressful job right? I'm not calling everyone in the government competent. OR saying that they should be paid more.

I read an article that broke down the voters for both Obama elections. The statistics showed that most of the reason Obama won was because a lot of people who had never voted before (or were never old enough to vote before those elections) decided it was actually worth it to vote that time. They felt like Obama was worth going out and voting for. PLOT TWIST: Most of these voters were minorites. WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED. Although I can kind of see why a group of people who feel like 'the system' has never represented them before because 'HE DONT LOOK LIKE ME' never turned out to vote. It's sad to think people can be allowed to vote for that reason. Most Obama supporters couldn't tell you a single thing he ACTUALLY did for them barring the whole Obamacare thing.

I read that Plato was actually what you'd call an 'anti-democrat'. Not that he was against a voting system. But that he thought you should have to prove a certain level of intelligence and thoughtfulness before you could be allowed to vote, and your vote had to be reasonably justified. An IQ test or "written answer" vote would never fly in the US though. Everyone is too fucking stupid for that shit.

Do you support Barney?
Because if you do, you probably wouldn't get it.

So he won that university mock vote and has the most donations ever from the public?
Is it really safe to bet money on him, i remember /biz/ telling me doge coin was a good investment

The mock vote in question has been accurate in predicting the general election winner since 1972. The surprising thing about it is how it is so accurate a year in advance, when most eventual nominee winners are not #1 in their party. Best example being Obama in 07.

>>1027199
>The mock vote in question has been accurate in predicting the general election winner since 1972
I think one article said the vote had only been held twice before though, or was i miss understanding

it is a bet. and its not 100% built on reality. there is enough distortion in the system to allow for a failing company to have a massive growth cycle that creates a bubble

if you dont understand that tech stocks , commodity futures and even bonds are bets you are a tard and you need to go back to tumblr and defend some pedo or harass some artist

if you are wondering what the bet is with bonds especially if you have locked in rates its if
1)the country you have bonds for defaults or not
2)if they will honor the locked in rates. even america made a cut off for old bonds a few years ago to avoid paying full mature on long term bonds
3)if their currency value will increase or decrease. 0.5% gains from interest and maybe 2% loss in currency value isnt a good combo on a short term bond

>>1027200

Mistaken, it's been a thing they do for a while, though not highly spoken about. Recheck that article.

So who here is actually going for this bet and for how much?

The first sentence of this article says "Western Illinois University has held 3 mock presidential elections since 1975".

>>1021342
Bernie doesn't have a prayer, he's too weak.

Romney won 59 percent of the white vote, the same as Reagan. Trump can't win the election, like it or not.

>>1027194

He is a self proclaimed socialist. He's got no chance. This is still fucking America.

>>1027194
Sanders winning the Primary is possible, but unlikely.
He'll probably win NH, but struggle in Iowa, might do ok in Nevada, but will wipe out in SC. Then Super Tuesday will come along, mostly Southern states where the average Dem primary voter is black and poor, whereas the average Sanders supporter is white and rich. He'll probably wipe out there and that'll be the end of him.

>>1027173

If people have more savings and don't need to get in debt, how do banks bleed them for interest and fees all their lives? The banks are trying to make billions upon billions, not simply millions.
And if the banks aren't worth trillions of dollars, who's going to buy politicians? We're trying to run an economy here pal

>>1027681
If people don't need to take out loans as often and have more cash readily available won't they be more inclined to justify spending it? Doesn't that spending boost the economy???

I mean fuck, I know that debt is a big industry but it's pretty sad to think selling money is THE industry.

There's a lot of socialists in the US these days, amongst the younger crowd. The word doesn't have the same connotations as it did before.
Still, It'll be hard to beat Clinton, but just because he says he's a socialist doesn't mean that's the reason he's out.

>>1022741
>the majority of it is held outside our borders

This is the main reason why the US is still an economic superpower

I'm still on the fence about this
Can he really win?

anyone know any good betting sites available to canadians?

I hate Hillary but your argument is retarded beyond belief

>She's also not very popular within the DNC
The DNC is run by people who used to be on her staff lel

>There is a lot of women who hate her because she allowed her husband to cheat on her.
she actually campaigned nationwide after that happened and almost became a feminist status symbol

>Clinton is still going to get hammer with Benghazi
Republicans have already apologized for acting immaturely about Benghazi, you'd hear about it every 2 seconds on network tv otherwise

>But he is getting endorsed by a lot of powerful groups
lel, yeah public labor unions whose survival are literally dependent on the policies that Bernie wants to implement

>Tell who uses a landline these days?
Baby boomers, the people who, y'know, are gonna be responsible for the winner of this election and the next 3-4 most likely.

Welcome to the last 30 years. We don't trade goods, we trade debt. It takes years for the average Joes to build a modest savings. During that time, they can't spend. Everyone shits the bed if retails sales are down for even a quarter, let alone years. So the powers that be would rather you borrow and borrow and spend now, getting further into debt (banks) to keep the economy, employment rate and sales tax ticking over (government).
It's all short to mid-term thinking. Survival now, fuck later. Governments of the day don't care if the country is better of in 50 years times, they need to be re-elected tomorrow. The economy that stops spending in the short-term falls behind other global economies who keep borrowing and spending. We're all in a massive race to the bottom.

No one is interested in you saving and investing. It's a lot harder to make money out of you that way. That's why it's so important you do. They can take a little capital gains tax but it's a lot less than bleeding you for interest on a massive 30 year mortgage and 15% on a credit card and car loans AND income tax AND sales tax. The less you spend, the less they can bleed you.
