Default Re: To Crockpot:

I am the one who moved the WSEX sell off of 38 early this morning. It doesn't take much; the market is not at all liquid right now.

Unfortunately, I think many other sites tend to base their odds on what the WSEX market is "showing" to be the "correct" market price. Maybe they don't realize that WSEX only lets you sell ~20 shares before they shift the price a full $2.

I think we'll see more liquidity as the World Series approaches (especially after the ALCS is over). What I worry about is that the Red Sox win, or the Indians win a short series (with Sabathia/Carmona rested and ready to go). Hopefully, the Rockies current mystique will allow us all to get a good price.

I am also the one who took out all the -160 offered on macthbook. Now I see that the best price offered is -182. Again, the problem is that a lot of people are looking to hedge, and the market is totally illiquid at this point. No one is looking to get down huge on the Rockies this early.
