Election odds: Mitt Romney Republican nominee betting

Boner_18 · 10-05-11, 02:53 PM

He was my candidate in 2008 and will be again in 2012. Good to see him favored.

mormon vote built-in lots and lots of money. alternative healthcare plan success history. smart guy and successful business owner. does well in debates.

laclippers504 · 10-05-11, 03:05 PM

Hope he wins

Glitch · 10-05-11, 03:15 PM

....harvard grad, leading in the polls, personable, not a woman.

HeeeHAWWWW · 10-05-11, 03:17 PM

He's basically the only competent pair of hands in the field. The rest are either outright wackjobs, liable to embarrass themselves when talking about any substantive policy issue, or both.

I/O · 10-05-11, 03:20 PM

Watch out, Herman Cain really can't be ignored.

Would like to see this fine man become the 1st black president of the US. It would be awesome to see lifetime bullshitters like Romney (full of shit and has his health care program dragging him down) and this dope from Texas (has lost any chance of getting the right wings vote) get rolled.

We gotta lose this half breed that's in office now.

secretstash · 10-05-11, 03:24 PM

First black president?

Lol wtf where have u been?

Would anyone vote for Giuliani?

Glitch · 10-05-11, 03:41 PM

Why Santorum over Giuliani? I kinda thought that he at least would have NY's vote...

pavyracer · 10-05-11, 03:54 PM

Herman Cain at +1200 is a steal.

ttwarrior1 · 10-05-11, 03:57 PM

romney is the only one that admits to past mistakes . Not only does romney say what needs to be done, but he says how he would do it unlike the others

romney has my vote

milwaukee mike · 10-05-11, 03:59 PM

sarah palin +1400 is the only thing worth betting.

when she said "the only flag in my office is israeli" that pretty much guaranteed her the 2012 republican nomination. willing to lie about pretty much anything and everything (including bristol being trig's mom) doesn't hurt either.

BettingWizard · 10-05-11, 04:14 PM

Palin and Cain have no chance of winning anything. Cain is just a fad.

You think being Mormon is going to help him win the election?

Once they move into the deep south and the Christian PACs start making commercials about LDS and they real nasty(but true-i.e magic underwear,gawd lives on another planet,magic golden tablets etc etc) flyers make there way around the Sunday morning church parking lots
HE IS TOAST
Because no way the true Republican power base will think he can carry the voters they need to off set the "inner city" vote

d2bets · 10-05-11, 04:31 PM

Hard to see anyone but Romney winning the nomination.

not really because john huntsman is going to take some votes also.

Romney has done a good enough job to help convince people that mormonism is christianity. you just dont hear people criticizing it much these days.

the mormon church is huge and all-over and it is the second richest church in the world after the catholic church.

A whopping 1.9% of the country is Mormon and there are plenty of people who still think Mormons are weirdos with multiple wives. If Romney wasn't Mormon he'd probably have this thing in the bag.

i agree completely that being mormon hurts a candidate. But 2 percent is 1 out of 50 people. he has seemed to overcome this obstacle and defuse it adequately whenever it has arisen (which is not much lately). he cant change that hes mormon- he just has to be thankful for his 1.9 percent auto following, in addition to his mass. following, in addition to sick people.

Glitch · 10-05-11, 05:18 PM

plus they vote at a higher turnout percentage than many other demographics so the number increases.

frostno98 · 10-05-11, 05:19 PM

Herman Cain is the GOP best chance to win.

guiliani is too tough on crime. nobody knows when your rights are going to get violated next. plus he wants to be a comedian and actor apparently.

santorum has always been honest and stood up up for difficult things and he did a good job with pennsylvania. but all of these candidates are bad. even your beloved ron paul.

SBR_John · 10-05-11, 05:41 PM

I would not rush out to bet this anytime soon. I bet Obama 3 weeks before the convention at -380. Plenty of time.

Boscoe · 10-05-11, 05:46 PM

hey dax.... can we get some dancing with the stars odds....and can they be the same as betonline's odds? thanks.

katstale · 10-05-11, 05:47 PM

Let us not forget that when the mob took over Vegas they chose Mormons to handle the count and run much of the casino activities. There was good reason for that. Be nice to have that kind of honesty in the White House for a change.

You got anything (a link) off the net that goes into this more?

Don't really no much about politics, so I'd like to know why Bodog has Mitt Romney as a favorite to win the Republican Nominee at -175.

If you want to see the rest of the Nominees you can check them out at SBR Sportsbook in the EXOTIC BETTING area.

The main reason he is so high is the insane amount of juice Bodog builds into the market.. Intrade, with much more modest juice has him around -130.

milwaukee mike · 10-05-11, 06:34 PM

dax thinks it's strange that romney is -175 on bodog yet sbr puts out the same odds

i will be laying off now that caribou barbie is out of the race
