Barack Obama
5/8

Mitt Romney
3/2


THIS IS WHAT I SEE FROM THE VEGAS BOOKMAKER FIRST POST I MADE WAS EVEN MONEY TO WIN DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT

[Marshall Bennett]

Unfortunately, with Obama's momentum building between now and November ( the MSM will ensure that), I don't see him losing the election. Bet a few bucks on a Republican, but to throw a huge amount of money on one would just be plain stupid.

5/8 on the president is an overlay. He hasn't even started to debate yet. And that's his strong suit.

[PaceAdvantage]

And that's his strong suit.Is it? I don't recall him demolishing a guy named John McCain last year, and we all know debating wasn't McCain's strong suit.

I'd say Obama is going to have a much tougher time of it this year vs. Romney, who is far more polished...

I agree that Obama is going to have a tougher time this time around. Last time the bankers needed the welfare. The bankers shouldn't need welfare now and are more concerned about regulations. For flash and debates, I'd take McCain over Romney. Didn't the public take McCain over Romney 4 years ago?

The real overlay is 16-1 on Newt.

[PaceAdvantage]

Hey PA do you ever sleep?Who says i'm not just up early? I function quite well on only four hours sleep believe it or not.

As always I appreciate your concern.

You bet I'm concerned. If your health fails due to lack of sleep, where am I going to rant? Huffington Post? You've got to take better care of yourself.

I'd sure like to bet those Vegas odds, since I am in Vegas. But you can't legally bet on an election in Vegas or anywhere else in the U.S.
No odds line is worth the chalk board it's written on if no one can bet into it!

The Iowa Electronics markets have a limited legal way for election betting.

So, what is your fair odds line for this contest?

Only a few weeks ago the righties here were counting the days till November and were still confident a new era of conservatism was upon us.

H'cap, no matter which Republican we elect, he will be a million times more conservative than Obama.
Wave bye bye :lol: :lol: :lol:

And no matter which Republican gets nominated, Obama will be a million times more progressive than him. This is stating the obvious.

[Robert Goren]

The great thing about being a gambler is that you get to put your money where your mouth is. I have a couple of wagers on Obama. Probably more than than I can afford to lose, so I am not taking any more bets. But if you are so sure Obama won't win, I am sure you can get some action somewhere.
