    Obama Wins Democratic Nomination -2500

    Is this not free money? Is there any chance whatsoever that Obama wouldn't get the nomination? I don't think anyone is even running against him. There's zero risk.

    Whomever it is, let's get an account there. Surely this can't actually be offered somewhere though?

    Guess there's a chance of him croaking. Other than that, he's been doing pretty good in the Democratic Primaries so far.

    That's what I was thinking... other than some unforeseen tragedy happening, who else could possibly win the nomination??? I feel like I'm missing something here.

    Mind you, Romocide hasn't told us what book it is yet so for all we know it could be Dr Seuss offering this.

    They've got Romney @ -770 to get the Republican nomination which seems like really easy money too (sadly). It would take a miracle for him not to get it now.

    what ur missing is the limit is like 50$.. so u have to risk 1250 to hope to win 50$ and if he does croak/killed/photos surface/birth certificate probs..etc etc happen, then u might be out 1250. but sure its almost a "sure bet".. but heck even the sbr book is offering hillary and another dem for pres.. why would they unless its even remotely 20-1 odds possible

    Yes, it is free money, but by betting on it, it is equivalent you give 5D a loan for 10 months, with free money as interest.

    Huntsman ended his bid for the nomination today, so it's just Paul v. Romney with South Carolina to pretty much decide it all. -770 looks like a steal

    as mentioned, 5 Dimes will be happy if you bet this. You'd be giving them a loan and getting very low interest. Plus of course if some crazy thing happens you lose the money.

    Even if it's a sure thing, it's not worth betting big MLs unless they pay out quickly

    Are you allowed to parlay Obama and Romney noms? Parlay of -2500 and -770 would mean bet $286 to win about $50.

    If enough people take action on the -2500, does the book possibly put a hit on Obama?

    Please post a link of any bank offering 8% on a 10 month CD? Heck, I challenge you to find any bank that is offering 2% on a 10 month CD.

    All sorts of longshot things could happen and 5Dimes knows that nobody in their right mind is going to bet serious money laying -2500 while having to tie that money up until July-August.

    Why would anyone waste their time starting a thread like this?
