      (FWIW it puts Trump at 52.38% to win, Liz at 12.5% to win, and Joe at 11.76%.)
      -110 in Vegas speak = 50% to win. Gotta account for the house's take.

        So a positive x means $100 gets you x, and a negative y means y gets you $100.

        (i.e., -200 would mean a $200 bet wins $100, +200 means a $100 bet wins $200)

        Right?

        So, +200 = -50?

          -110 = You bet 110, you win 100 on top of your original bet
          +110 = You bet 100, and you win 110 on top of your original bet

            Yeah, but you'd never see -50, you'd see +200. Just like you'd never see +50, you'd see -200 instead. Lowest most casinos will go for an absolute value is -110, which indicates a tossup. After that they'd switch to positive numbers to indicate an underdog. Occasionally you'll see -105 paired with -115 to indicate something like a 1-point underdog.

            Most Vegas books have a spread of 20 for their NFL moneylines. So if the favorite was -160, the underdog would be +140, for instance.

                He was struggling. Doubtful he would've made the next debate, from what I read.

                    All signs point there. He has a 50-point lead in the primary and a 13-point lead in the general.

                      Yes. It's where he belongs. Good decision on both ends.

                      The correct place for the "I won in a purple state!" Democrats is there in that purple state. They build their careers, we make inroads into Dumbf-ckistan, and we both deny fascists seats and governorships. What's not to love?

                      I'd like to see Bullock, Castro, Inslee, Klobuchar, O'Rourke, Ryan, and Sestak likewise drop out, go back to their states, win elections there, and help us build our state and local organizations.

                            It's all gamesmanship. You aim high and suit your rhetoric to it right up until... you don't.

                            I think we may all live long enough to see a TX Senate delegation of 2 Dems, whether that's O'Rourke and Castro or somebody else. I know it's a stupid state and I know the GOP cheats and will only cheat harder as they dwindle, but declaring a pogrom on Latinos is likely not the most effective way for the GOP to recruit them.

                            I hope in my lifetime there is a solid blue Southwest from LA to the Sabine River.

                              Similar to Colorado, we need a couple million more Californians to move in first to swing it.

                                He won't win the Senate seat anyway. Hillary thought she was going to carry Georgia and Arizona. Too much Fool's Gold with these Democrats. They can't even hold Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania and they blew Iowa and I believe Obama won there twice.
