    Value in Romney +300, right?
    I expect Obama to win the election... but Romney is +300 at the moment.

    I understand that he needs OH, FLA, VA to win (and I don't follow politics all that closely), but him winning FL is pretty much a lock. Ohio and Virginia will definitely be tough, but not impossible.

    Keep in mind, I don't really know what I'm talking about, but I think there's value in Romney at 3-1

    I'm throwing a whopping $18.96 on Romney. Let's win that $56.88!

    Looks like good value. But while Romney is -260 to win Fla, he is +230 to win Ohio. I believe no Republican has ever won the election without winning Ohio. Who knows?

      How do you plan to achieve the value if it loses?

        i think he loses 272 266 (somewhere in there at least) if he wins those 3 states, needs a miracle to happen somewhere so i think u need better then 3-1 at this point.

          There's more value in Obama winning Florida IMHO

              If Romney wins you're gonna need that $56.88 when he raises taxes on the middle class and the economy collapses

                  Obama will most likely win Ohio if not he can still squeak out a victory 272-266

                        I also live in Ohio... not so certain he wins Ohio. +230 on 5D though! Tony must love him some Obama.

                                don't worry, Romney will win.
                                They just make the polls look equal
                                so people vote. It's a scam.
                                Think about it, they can't put one candidate up 5%
                                because people would think it's over.
                                It's all about the ratings.
                                Scam. Romney wins, blacks riot.

                                        He has Florida and Virginia, Colorado and new Hampshire. Ohio Wisconsin Iowa are tossups, if he gets 2 of those he wins and whenever it's a tossup that means lean challenger

                                            theres no value no matter the odds on a wager that has 0 chance of winning

                                            dont blame romney backers for hoping against hope though...lots of tears to be shed tomorrow night...too bad there wasnt a good choice this time

                                            cant wait to see the whining/crying and conspiracy theories though!!..

                                              Its time for Obama to leave the white house. I'm tired of everyone bitching about him , he had his chance and he failed.

                                              Besides America needs a white president.

                                                Any bet on Romney is money straight down the shitter

                                                I wouldn't bet him even at +100000000

                                                All value on Obama.

                                                I am all in!!!!!!!

                                                  Romney +300 has value the same way that a +50,000 Browns Super Bowl future has value (i.e., theoretical value and not actual value).

                                                    I'm hedged. Got 'bama at -200 and Mitt at +310 here at SBR.

                                                    How did he fail Bear? Are you listening to Fox and the negative ads on TV?

                                                    Tell me how anyone could turn our depression around in 4 years, especially without the help of a treasoness
                                                    party? Maybe leave the color of who's in charge out of the equation and look at your white party of NO.

                                                    If the Dems were doing that shit, I'd be writing them every fcking day. I did write my pledge signing Rep.

                                                          As much as I bet you hope to wish it true - the specific demographics of that area will not allow Romney to be successful in Ohio.

                                                          Obama was campaigning in that state back in 2009-10 by giving them a huge job stimulus. A ton of people think they owe their job to Obama. Hell, many people - quasi-unionized people - have said something to the effect that "Obama saved my job, so now it is our time to save his."

                                                          Mitt should be killing that state, but Obama's campaign had the foresight to make presidential actions that guaranteed him the next election.

                                                          Elections have become a math game. Ohio being a gigantic part of the equation. When Mitt was still denying he was running for President in 2012, Obama was guaranteeing his re-election.

                                                          Obama is one of the greatest "candidates" ever.

                                                          As such, to say there is no value in +300 in what most believe to be a coin flip, seems incorrect too. Howver, if you simply do the math you are betting on a prop something akin to "a safety in the last minute of the game +300".

                                                                The only people left who think Romney has a chance are people who have no clue about how statistics work. Even Romney and the Republican Party know it is over. Gingrich sent out a "secret email" to his supporters saying Obama has won. Everyone just going through the motions now. Obama is hanging out with the Boss today in Wisconsin so let the celebration begin. Game, set, match Obama (again).

                                                                  Are you seeing the projections for the independent vote? Close to 17% of the electorate is projected to choose not to vote for either one of these clowns.

                                                                  That decimates Romneys vote.

                                                                  If Romney had a clue, he would have avoided Obama as much as possible, and sent out to destroy Gary Johnson with an insane discrepancy in funding of the two candidates. It would have been USA v. Iraq cicra August 1990, with Romney being the US.

All those shit states in the south that vote R every election are the poorest and most uneducated in the country. You can google the shit up lowest incomes, lowest iq levels, highest drop out rates, high unemployment, on and on all in states that are in the south. Keep voting for these shit "R" and thats what you have to look forward too.

                                                                    States in the north that vote D are amongst the highest educated and richest in our nation and it's mainly due to electing "D" most elections. Our roads, schools, homes...everything nicer than our counter parts in the SOuth that think the GOP is gods. You would think after 100 years of living in shit slumb people would have figured this out.
