Looks like the tide has definitely turned..

Makes Sense

[durito]

Who wants to bet $5,000 straight up?

Surely any McCain voter has that kind of spare change

Kicking myself in the ass as I watched that one go from +210 to even 170 after the VP Call. Just couldn't trust 500-1000 dollar future on the Republican Party

I'll do it at the 500 level if held by an independent party at the folowing odds

+200 McCain
Even Obama

Let me know!

[durito]

ah no, i'm not a complete ****ing moron thanks though.

straight up, as in even odds. $5,000 minimum

[Panic]

durito, why would anyone take that bet when you can still get +money on McCain and you're getting off the hook for the - on Obama? This is just a posturing bet on your part, but it really wouldn't make sense for the McCain backers to take it. Me, personally, I have not nor would I ever bet on a political prop. But to each his own. I'm just saying, why not stick the bet out there are real odds and maybe someone will bite. Gaureendteed money and no wait. Sounds good. Someone will likely take you up on it.

[durito]

I'm getting off the hook?

I don't have any open positions on this election.

All these McCain voters are saying he will win easy now, he leads the polls, and the odds are very close to even at most sights (cris his republicans -108)

What I want is just one of these loud mouths to put up some money to back their claims. They are voting Republican here, surely $5,000 is not a lot of money to them. Oh, wait I forgot, most of these people are the moronic branch of the Republican party and are in fact poor.

[durito]

whose odds would you like me to use?

intrade has mCcain favored

NWO for prez

Obama is +odds at intrade and you want me to take -200?


My offer is reasonable, yours is insane.

[durito]

where is +120 available?

i see +105 at matchbook after commission and transactions costs, you are near even money

[InTheHole]

+110/-120 @ 5 dimes so your bet is ridiculous. My offer stands and I am giving you points. EV vs. -120

[Panic]

durito-You can go to Matchbook right now and get McCain +108 and on Obama you would have to lay -125.

I know why you're doing it. I get it. This is why I wont talk politics anymore on here. It really is liking bang your head against the wall for both sides. No one is gonna change the mind of the other. So it really is a waste of time. All it usually ends up being is posters throwing insults at each other.

Maybe someone will take you up on your offer. If they do, good luck to you both.

+140 at BetJamaica

All talk no "action"

You offered me -200. That is not +EV vs -120.
