These are the current rates on Predictit. https://www.predictit.org/markets/detail/5241/Who-will-win-the-2020-Iowa-Democratic-caucuses
You buy a position, and can trade out at any time, with the winner (in this case most delegates from Iowa) paying out $1.00/share.
A few weeks ago, I bought Buttigieg at $0.22/share, and traded out this weekend at $0.40/share. His high price on Saturday night was $0.45, so I did not sell at the peak, but feel good about selling when I did.
If you click on the link, you can see the trends - Warren has been steadily dropping since early October, when her peak was $0.63. Sanders and Buttigieg have been slowly rising, with Pete seeing a spike after the Iowa poll result on Saturday. Biden has been slowly dropping, but not nearly as much as Warren - more of a slow steady slight decline.
For me, this is still a 4-way race, with maybe Warren and Buttigieg having an advantage due in large part to their ground game presence in Iowa. I still like Pete to win Iowa, but his price feels a little high for me at this stage - hence selling my position.
Where do you guys see value - either as undervalued price that should rise, or who do you like to win Iowa (in which case that candidate is obviously undervalued)?
Where would you set some price ranges?
For me, I think Warren is undervalued - I think she has taken some hits as a front-runner, but she should bounce back if she can find her footing on the Medicare For All issue. I am inclined to invest in her at her current price - despite, or maybe because of, her steady fall over the last 40 days.
Klobuchar has upside potential - but I think she needs a big moment in the debate this week. I might put a little on her to see if she can get a bounce.
Pete - still my favorite to win Iowa - but I'll probably wait for his price to drop a little.
I am staying away from Biden and Sanders - both seem to have low ceilings to me.
