[Dancemanmarc2]

You guys missed the memo, Palin is gunna swoop in and take the nom. from Romney...there goes half the bet

[The Bet Master]

Honestly what would the book rule In the scenario of an assassination of either of them? Push?

[Extra Innings]

Loss, almost sure.

[The Kraken]

Maybe that's a prop bet? must be +100000

nah assassination would be a push. it's like tennis full game if the guy get's popped on the court then that's a push.

[Hankwins]

funny thing is their are probably enough suckers to take the field at plus 2500 to make the book money.

[becketmcginn]

what book lol?

[rkelly110]

2 cents on the dollar? What dumb ass would even consider such a bet?

considering something is a sign of NOT being a dumbass

if it meets a rollover and they give you a 10% bonus on a 1-time rollover for example, you could deposit $5000 and walk away with $5600 on obama with almost no risk.
the problem is that almost every book wouldn't allow this type of juice toward a rollover.

but open-mindedness would dictate that you at least consider it, especially with interest rates on savings accounts equaling about 0.

[rkelly110]

Very true Mike, but it's not a guarantee like a CD. Also consider books won't take that much of a bet on sports
let alone politics.

With the dog winning the SCOTUS decision, Romney might be a good dog bet.

[milwaukee mike]

agree with you rkelly, this bet doesn't really make sense because you can't bet a big enough number on it. if i could bet $100,000 on obama at those odds and make a free $2000 i would, especially if there were loyalty points or kickbacks on it.

my point is that it should at least be considered

[rkelly110]

A couple of guys in the forum tried those high juice bets. SBR Lou and Cookie monster(the better of the two)
with not so good results. If you considerate it and bet it, GL.

[dangerfish]

Just make sure you have a lot of confidence in your book to make plays like this.

[HedgeHog]

Honestly what would the book rule In the scenario of an assassination of either of them? Push?

The bet would lose, but the US would win. So I guess in a sense it is a "push".

[thetrinity]

Doubt they let u bet that much

[jjgold]

Not worth tying up 10 k for that long

[Ryeskernatorr]

Not worth tying up 10 k for that long

Would be a lot more profitable than the 27k you had locked up for a week.

[Balco10]

This was @ 5 Dimes.

[TheMetsSuck]

max bet is probably like 50 bucks on a prop like this and you can't parlay it is my guess

[LVHerbie]

2 cents on the dollar? What dumb ass would even consider such a bet?

If I thought something like this had enough value (i.e. pretty much a sure thing) I would be willing to lock up a percentage of my bankroll (10-25% maybe?) for a couple months for an almost assured 2% return with the realistic belief that I likely would never have my full roll in play between now and then...

Very true Mike, but it's not a guarantee like a CD. Also consider books won't take that much of a bet on sports
let alone politics.

With the dog winning the SCOTUS decision, Romney might be a good dog bet.

Obviously a slight risk involved (assassination, political environment going to the level of shit where a coup at the convention would occur, 5dimes going under, etc) but giving the unbelievable low interest that a CD or money sitting in a savings account is going to return in less then 3 months, as a gambler, I would give strong consideration to locking a small portion of my roll on a bet like this... Of course I would imagine that you were correct that 5dimes limits on this were nowhere close to accepting 10k...

[tim0402]

whats the max bet on this? $100? you wont be able to bet 10k, how long you been betting?

[Iwinyourmoney]

Don't books count the "win amount" not "bet amount" towards the rollover?

[Dkid]

Don't books count the "win amount" not "bet amount" towards the rollover?

yeah that guy doesn't know what he's saying.

[bettilimbroke999]

Milwaukee is a total noob youll have to forgive him, guy bets 20 bucks at sportsbook.com and posts here as an expert on all things
