$1000 that Trump cracks 60% in WV.

Just to clarify, if Indiana is not within 6 points for both parties, Castro would still lose $500 even if no one agrees to bet against him. This applies to all other bets made too. Castro would gain $500 if Indiana is within 6 points for both parties.

Doesn't that mean someone can just make a series of obviously safe bets that nobody accepts in order to earn an infinite amount of money?

LOL.

I withdraw my bet regarding Trump's performance in West Virginia, which apparently costs $500 so I have $500 left.

I now bet my remaining $500 that Ted Cruz does not drop out by 10:15 PM EST on May 1, 2016.

I won

Betting $1000 that Cruz doesn't drop out by 10:20, etc.

Just don't let people earn money from bets that nobody accepts.

Also, do I get to keep my $2000?

Fine. This rule will take effect starting right now. This will make sure no one makes money off obvious bets.

Also, do I get to keep my $2000?

Absolutely not. Your current balance is at $500 because you withdrew from your WV bet.

Yes, but that was under the assumption that I would be able to place the new bet. If I had known you would cancel the new bets, I would have not canceled the first bet. Therefore, I assume, the first bet is back on and my balance is once more $1000.
