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. If you were to bet against Castro, and Indiana is not within 6 points for both parties, then you'd gain $500 while he'd lose that amount.

If Clinton wins Indiana by 5.99% and Trump by 6.01%, Castro will lose $500, won't he?

And what about a margin of 6%? Would that still be within 6%?

I bet $500 Clinton will win NV in November.
I'll also bet $100 that Sanders wins SD.

[Wells]

$50 that Clinton wins Indiana
$25 that Trump wins Indiana

I'll give you action on all of these.

I'll double all of these now.

One more rule: No bet can be higher than $1000.

If this is an actual rule you should add it to the first post.

Also, I bet 200 that Trump wins WV.

I'm going to be blown away if anyone takes you up on that one.

But I know two West Virginians who are all in for Cruz!

I'll bet $400 that Trump wins more electoral votes than Romney.

I'll bet $400 that Trump wins more electoral votes than Romney.

I'll bet against you

Note: If Trump were to get the exact same amount of electoral votes as Romney did, I still win.

I would seek clarification as to whether Romney's 2012 EV total or 2016 EV total was meant.

I'll wager $500 on Trump winning WV in the primary, and you only have to put up $100 to go against me.

[Meclazine for Israel]

Trump wins Indiana with at least 55 % $300

Is there a way to turn this into a real money betting game? Totally serious.

[Badger]

I'll put $200 on Trump winning Oregon, AND I'll give you 5-2 odds (i.e. your $200 bet will get you $500).

I'll also take a single $100 bet (first post, first served) at even odds Trump wins IN.

$1000 that Trump cracks 60% in WV.

[Doimper]

20 on Cruz winning IN

Done

[dax00]

I'll offer up the following bets:

a. 5:3 odds that during Trump's speech on Tuesday, he says the phrase "crooked Hillary" at least twice (Trump says it 2+ times → you give me $20; Trump says it once or not at all → i give you $12)

b. 2:7 odds that Cruz will not withdraw from the race or suspend his campaign on Tuesday or Wednesday (Central Daylight Time) (he stays in → you give me $30; he withdraws/suspends → i give you $105)

[Badger]

BTW, who the hell is going to keep track of all this?

[pho]

500$ that Hillary wins more than 350 electoral votes.
250$ that Hillary wins AZ
250$ Hillary wins more than 80% of the hispanic vote.
