I doubt many of you in the cfb forum are betting on this, but I've seen some crazy odds on BetOnline, wondering if any of yall are betting.
I'm betting, but I'm also using Intrade, which is a much larger, more liquid market. There are some good odds on betonline, just you need to double check what the intrade odds are before you put anything in. Also, these numbers push around way more than lines for football games, so if you don't like one then wait for a little bit and itll change.
As far as the election goes I think it all comes down to Ohio, but I think betting on individual states is the safest way to go, especially because we can look at all the most current polling data right now.
Here's some lines that were similar to intrade odds
1. Republicans for florida -215 - Odds are better than on intrade, polling showing a 1.8 advantage
2. Republicans for NC -400 - Polls only showing +3, but NC historically is a pretty heavy republican state, with Obama barely winning in 2008
3. Democrats for Colorado - today this went from -140 to -105 to -160 right now. I think -120 or lower is a good price for this, otherwise lookout, polls only show a .6 advantage
4. Democrats for Ohio -300 - Election comes down to this State, but polling is showing a +2.9 Democrat win
-Democrats Wisconsin -500 is too much, intrade is at -400, polls showing +4.6 favorite
-Virginia is -125 for Democrats, but I think it'll be a very close race
-Obama to win is -325, but that's a little high at 77.5%, where it's at 67% on intrade.
Also, here's my polling website:
Figured if betting can make MAC games exciting, then why not an election, lol
