Rubio's stock hasn't moved in forever. I expect someone bought and held a bunch of his shares a while back.

Here's a list of the price changes on Rubio on all the betting sites:

(Remember these numbers are inverted to probabilities, so 6.13 translates to 16.3 the way I list it.)  On Betfair alone, his price has moved on average once every week or two.

Betfair prices are set by the bookmakers. This isnt the same as intrade (which closed down). So there are no 'shares' for people to buy/sell/hold.

To be clear, I'm posting the numbers from "Betfair Exchange" rather than "Betfair Sportsbook".  I think the former works the same way as Intrade.

The numbers on Betfair Sportsbook are a bit different.  They have Christie and Rubio tied for first, with Paul just behind them.  All of the bookies have some combination of Christie, Paul, or Rubio in first or tied for first at the moment.  Rubio's leading with more of them than Christie or Paul is though.

Note that in both 2006 and 2010, only 4-5 of the people in the top 10 of the betting markets actually ended up running in the end.  So we should have some humility about declaring this or that candidate a sure thing to run.  There'll surely be a good deal of weeding out of candidates just in the next six months.

that Romney number suggests he'd bump up to 25 or 30 should he actually run.

What's the consensus on betfair movement in relation to the grapevine? Does the market anticipate trends or is there significant lag between (say) The Atlas consensus and Betfair?

why has Thune dropped off the radar so dramatically as a national possibility?

The 2012 bench was thinner, and other's who would occupy Thune's niche have taken his place.  Also, his decision not to run in 2012 signalled that he was more interested in building his career in the Senate than running for prez.  The fact that his seat is up in 2016 makes it even less likely that he'll run this time.

Romney became a bubble of sorts.  the establishment pick will be either Christie, Jeb, or Mitt as a last resort.  he doesn't run if he isn't confident that the other two back out, and they all might play hokey-pokey through midsummer while watching the clowns (Santorum, Paul, Cruz, Perry) implode.

Rubio's the wild card, if he could separate himself from the kooks early enough and start bringing in real money it could scare Mitt and Jeb out -- and Jeb doesn't appear to be drooling at the possibility.  we all know Mitt is, but he understands he'd be venturing into rare historical territory.
 
Christie doesn't appear to fear losing as much as he fears discomfort, and he probably likes the idea of being the Don of NJ for a few decades, (though a 2017 win is by no means assured should the NJ Dems dig up a decent candidate that can simultaneously get the blacks out in droves and cut into Christie's margins in the wealthy suburbs/exurbs).  now THAT would be a fun off-year race to watch.

Christie's term limited out of the governorship in 2017.

shucks, I didn't know that!  we in NY allow our Dons to reign until they're toppled ("may God allow me to accept this defeat, and to understand it" -Andrew Cuomo, November 8, 1994).

that little factoid ratchets up the odds quite significantly -- or he could roll the dice, hope for a Hillary win, and enter stage right as the heavy favorite for the GOP nom in 2020, red as a tomato from extended vacations bookending a book tour.

Of course, given how frequently the GOP nominates the previous runner-up for the nomination, running unsuccessfully for the nom. in 2016 in order to set oneself up for 2020 or beyond isn't a bad strategy.  Sitting out 2016 and waiting for 2020 gives others the chance to gain recognition and push ahead of you in line.  Of course, this applies not just to Christie but to everyone else……which is why all of them have an interest in running this time around if they want it.

Why has Walker not surged? Are these people on crack?

He's gone from 3.6 to 6.5 in little more than 24 hours, an increase of 80%.  So he's "surged", but he was starting from a very low baseline.

I agree that he's the most undervalued here, but there may be some hedging on the fact that he doesn't seem to be as committed to running as some of the others.  He suggested today that he won't announce 2016 plans until June(!):

https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=164982.msg4370096#msg4370096

Granted, he may just be playing games there, and not wanting to appear too eager to run for higher office the day after being reelected to this one.

The larger issue, I think, is that betters overvalue current name recognition and current polling in these things, rather than try to project forward on how someone might play once they get better known.  Recall how Giuliani led the GOP betting markets throughout 2007, well past the point at which everyone here agreed that he was no longer the favorite.

Walker now surging like mad....up to fourth place:

Bush 17.4
Rubio 15.8
Romney 14.5
Walker 12.8
Paul 11.6
Christie 10.7
Cruz 6.2

Walker was at 3.6 on Tuesday before the election results came in.  So if you'd bet on him then, you would have made a ~250% return on your investment.
