We apply Bayesian statistics to the exploration of SUSY models. In particular we focus on the constrained minimal supersymmetric standard model studying prospects for the Higgs and superpartner searches at the Tevatron and LHC as well as direct and indirect dark matter detection from present and future experiments. We conclude that prospects for the Tevatron of excluding the whole 95% CL range of the lightest Higgs mass remain very good, or else there is very good hope to see at least some evidence of a signal with the expected final integrated luminosity. Scalar supertparnes are typically heavier than 1 TeV but there is a reasonable chance for at least some squarks to be seen at the LHC. On the other hand the gluino should have a much better chance of discovery at the LHC. Prospects for detection are also promising in direct detection searches for dark matter. Finally detection through indirect signals from dark matter are strongly dependent on astrophysical quantities.
