The Morning Line March 10 2016

| Donald Trump | 10/3 | 23% |
| Bernie Sanders | 8/1 | 11% |
| Ted Cruz | 20/1 | 5% |

| Joe Biden | 100/1 | 1% |
| Mitt Romney | 200/1 | .05% |
| Paul Ryan | 500/1 | .02% |
| Chris Christie | N/A | Suspended campaign |
| Martin O’Malley | N/A | Suspended campaign |
| Ben Carson | N/A | Suspended campaign |
| Carly Fiorina | N/A | Suspended campaign |
| Rand Paul | N/A | Suspended campaign |
| Rick Santorum | N/A | Suspended campaign |
| Jeb Bush | N/A | Suspended campaign |
| Michael Bloomberg | N/A | Suspended campaign |
| Mike Huckabee | N/A | Suspended campaign |
Hillary is still the favorite but her odds have dropped significantly. [However, if you bet today, your profit would be $53.33 instead of just $1 if you had bet last week] The odds on Marco are noticeably different than the polls suggest; he dropped to 6th place and is a long shot. It looks like it will be Donald versus Hillary if delegate votes stay predictable. Ted is still unpopular with the betting crowd but moves up one slot to 4th place. Kasich is not a serious contender among the bettors. Bernie stays in the mix but the super delegate count is against him.
