Druff gave some good suggestions. I had to think why you only want to bet dogs. You win favorites all the time, so that 10% on win is churning through your money moreso. I hadn't appreciated that, but I did realize that if you are leaving a position at a loss, it is likely a good idea to keep 1 share if you are going to be betting more in that market that has like a year to go. Why? Because you carry your loss on the trade, but I guess it would only be on that one single outcome. Actually this wouldn't come into play that often, but a thought, especially if you want to exit a position temporarily to free up capital.

So the Iowa caucus has 20 cent swings several times for no real reason. Bernie was 77 then 60 as pete hit 35+. Back and forth several times. Some random news outlet must have given out some information. It was bizarre to me but most of my money was in other positions which you can't liquidate without the 10% fee. I agree, quite bullshit.

Had a dog come in today. Got it at .16 , 1 senator for "How many Senate GOP will vote to convict President Trump on any article by 2/29?"
. I had no idea who it'd be and still don't know who it was, but it seemed reasonable at the price to think there'd be one senator somewhere that was going out, or had some convictions.

One thing i learned, when you have an event that does not have a set resolution time, NEVER leave open unattended buys. (Sells are questionable, but not near as bad) With a buy, you are taking on the cost of losing when you never had any chance to win. Someone freerolls you big. This happens because other participants are way ahead of Predictit and will sell off everything right into your buy orders. I had a market like this for 2 guys, but put in cheap buy order at a certain price as a "hedge". So my main guy won, but my other buy order I'd forgot about bought a bunch of worthless crashing shares.

Pretty sure one can swing trade and make money fairly easy. Just have to be selective about the types of markets and the underlying mechanics of it.
