a sure bet on 5dimes

[pico]

if i understand the wager correctly. -500 is the odd that anyone else wins the dem nomination other than gore. this is a sure win. unless all other dem candidates died, then gore might have a chance at this.

seems like a sure bet to me.

[BatemanPatrickl]

Gore isn't even running.

[Razz]

Yeah, you understand it correctly. Not sure why it's so low.

[pico]

i have no idea also. my good friend told me about this. the only reason i am not betting on it is because this might take months to grade.

[sportsfanatic]

Al Gore might change his mind. He's real popular right now. If he runs...

[katstale]

I wonder how this gets graded if he "thinks" he won! With that fool, it is a distinct possibility.

[Helmut]

No way am I tying up my money for 18 months even on a gimmie like this.

i think that is why it is only -500 not -3000

Maybe you should get yourself a 5 Dimes credit account.

[MonkeyF0cker]

Where's my name in that list? I feel slighted.

is that a joke? if not, i would take out a mortgage to bet on that.

[Actionbrett]

God doesnt extend credit.

If you want to bet on credit with 5 Dimes (or any other book) you'd just need to find yourself an agent that represents them.

kind of risky nowdays an agent ring got busted in utah recently, right.

actaully i am hoping for clown gore to win so hilary and obama won't get nominated. gore winning the dem nominated is the only chance the republican got at winning this election.

Gore winning the Dem nomination is the only chance the Dems have of a guaranteed win in the general election.

No the most popular political figure still is Billy Clinton and if he gets involved with Hilliary she wins easy. He is a mastermind of politics.

Well that's true, and Gore is decidedly not a mastermind of politics, but in this case, it wouldn't matter.

Gore is the anti-Bush, people remember that he "won" the election in '00, and they will vote him in this time in a gesture of atonement. He has played everything right since '00. The global warming stuff is huge for him, even big corporations are running ads now trying to make themselves seem more "green", and Gore is indelibly associated as a champion of all of that.

Gore's liabilities - his wooden comportment, his somewhat embarrassing videotaped appearances, et al - none of that would make much of a difference now. He would steamroll over Hillary and any Republican candidate, even Rudy.

[Dark Horse]

Gore would win the election. All other high profile Dems have proven themselves to be spineless pushovers in the past seven years. Disgraceful how they failed to stand up and raise hell.

I would need higher odds to bet on Gore, but I wouldn't put my money anywhere else; at least not until the final month of the election.

[The HG]

Wow I didn't look at these odds before, I just glanced over them.

First of all, I would POUND the negative Obama line at -325. That is a much much better bet than the Gore bet. If Gore enters, he'll win. Obama has zero chance, despite how it may seem at the moment. Unless something f*cked up happens to both the Hillary and Edwards campaigns, Obama has no chance. I'm sure he knows that too. He got into the race to establish himself as a national figure, and it was a very smart move, and it worked as well as he hoped it would. But he has no chance, I'd pound away at the -325.

And Edwards at +1200?? What?? That is a crazy line, he has a much better chance than that. If Gore doesn't get in, Edwards will really challenge Hillary hard. Dems are very very skittish about Hillary, if she messes up a bit, or Edwards plays things well, they will switch over to him. Especially since Obama takes away Hillary voters. So that's how I'd play it, I'd pound the negative Obama line, then try to jackpot it with a modest Edwards bet, and then maybe, maybe hedge some of it with a Gore bet.

[Dark Horse]

The limit at 5D for a bet like this is probably very low.

(and I would be extremely careful betting against Gore, because god runs the show at 5D)

[ShamsWoof10]

Why wouldn't you just call and talk to the lines manager and confirm the price and the bet..? I say that because if they don't want to honor it and say it was an obvious error they would anyway so why not bet it with confidence to at least know how it would be graded..? Just a question...

By the way you have a great point on that Obama no bet... It looks like the best "value"...

Wow, they are doing great things with computers nowadays. Computer actually thinks its human.

Computer, you are a computer. To be human, you have to make tons of mistakes and act like you have money when you really don't. Come on, my main microchip.
