Today's odds
New York Primary - Democrat Winner
Tue 4/19 551 Hillary Clinton wins New York Primary -315
552 Field wins New York Primary +235
For context, yesterday Bernie was almost a 6 to 1 underdog ($100 bet would have won $585). Today that same bet only wins $235.
Yesterday, you would have needed to put $1285 up just to win $100. Today it's $315 to win $100. That's a massive drop.
Either big money is coming in on Bernie or they have shifted the odds based on how the race is unfolding.
He is also a huge favorite in Wisconsin and Wyoming and a decent favorite in my state of RI.
PA and CT would immediately shift after a NY win.
Good news all around.

(15,730 posts)that people at the bottom need disposable money for it to filter up. Back before Roosevelt got the WPA CCC SS etc approved, a wealthy man asked him, "Will I be able to keep half my money?" FDR said yes and the rest is history. I have read where some of todays billionaires are asking the same questions. They are ready for massive tax increases as they know they will get it back from sales.
Most make nothing from the DOD, very few do. Very few business people make much from government spending at all. They do make make money from sales when people have money to spend.
