predictit estimated 44% and said “This acct posts probabilities from predictit.org, to test its accuracy relative to mine (and others’), and record why I think the market is biased (if applicable). See other predictions on "predictit"’s user page and test your acumen against it too.” on 2016-07-13
predictit said “Trump covets unpredictability, and Pence is not a very strong pick, so both my prior and likelihood ratio are low. That is, Trump is not much more likely to claim Pence is at the top of the list in worlds where Pence will be the VP” on 2016-07-13
predictit said “Thus, predictit’s estimate is too high — possibly biased by not thinking about likelihood ratios/bias towards certainty” on 2016-07-13

two2thehead said “I take your point regarding Trump being good at stopping leaks. But this isn’t just Trump and his team. If Pence were the choice, this extends the number of people to Pence’s team.” on 2016-07-14
