Thegreek.com is where i am quoting my prices from. as far as i know Spiro is pretty large and very reputable. i don't know if he is bigger than the ones that have been mentioned on this thread, all i know is that he has been doing this for the past 20 years offshore.

The Greek is a major player.
Always quick to post lines - they've been around forever.

It will be interesting to see when Bookmaker.eu posts their numbers. They have a lot of US accounts; while I believe the UK books are great at setting lines for events like the Arlington Million and BC turf races, they primarily have European customers so its likely they have a biased opinion in favor of the Euro-friendly Obama.
Bill Hill: Obama 2-5 Romney 7-4. Sorry but IMO thats the worst 2-5 shot I've ever seen. Come "post time" I suspect that line will come in, at least at a shop like Bookmaker where the clientele are more familiar with both candidates.

a friend of mine just told me that Bookmaker has the line -$220 over the phone.
i am going to give the greek the respect on this line, they take the biggest bite.

checked odds today and saw that thegreek.com had this election off the boards.
i checked with BETCRIS.com and they had it up at Democrat -$190 Republican +$160
wider spread, but according to them shifting towards the Republican.
no question in my mind, if i could get down i would be taking the +$170 for some large change. i think this election is going to flip-flop going forward.

Fly to London, lambo
Plenty of books will give you +175 on the Republicans for 5-10K a pop.

Odds differential
What's interesting to me is the fact that the best generally available odds you can get on the Republicans winning is +175.
Yet, you can bet on Mitt Romney being the next president at +187 with quite a few books.
That's quite an odds differential for six of one, and a half dozen of the other.

its like betting a baseball game where you name the pitchers and both of them have to start otherwise you got no action.
if i was betting on the democrats, i would much rather be betting on that entry instead of Obama, he is a beatable candidate against Romney, Hillary can't miss against anyone the other side puts up.

If Obama wins this election and the economy goes deeper into the toilet, she won't have a chance in 2016. Ryan will crush her. Her best chance is if Romney/Ryan win now, but if the economy still is struggling by 2016.

Look where the money is moving. The William Hill and other UK bookmaker's odds were a joke. They should stick to horse racing and soccer. Things they are knowledgable about.

Yeah, they've only been doing business legally for over 80 years.... :rolleyes:
The only thing that moves that line is money, and they are taking it on both sides.
If they lack knowledge with betting on politics, their doors are open 7 days a week for the likes of you to stick it to them.
