Arnold -130

to be the next governor of california @ carib

How is this proposition worded? I mean if Davis does not lose the recall vote then is it void? Or would one have to wait until the end of Davis's term to determine "the next governor"?

It is pretty obvious. There is a vote in the next couple of months in Calif. If Arnold is the governor after this recall election you win if you bet Arnold. If he isn't the governor, you lose. No ifs, ands, or buts.

I would bet the no on this one, I put his chances at closer to +200. The Democrats put out a strong name "just in case" in their Lt. Gov, a guy that has been considered the front runner for the next regular election provided Feinstein doesn't run. Considering Dems are far more numerous in CA that alone should make the chances of either the recall failing or getting their second choice into office pretty good.

Just seems like a poorly worded prop to me. If Davis remains governor then the next governor is up in the air for years.

I like Arnold, but this isn't the time for some actor to get his feet wet ... they need STRONG, respected leadership that's gets things done right now.

I bet the max on Arnold at Carib. These career politicians are nothin but sleaze. People are forgetting the fact that Arnold is going to bring a great many voters that have never voted before. These voters are going to vote for him. Anybody that is associated with Gray Davis is not going to win. I say Arnold wins easy. I should say the max bet at Carib is $50. LOL.

Chuck, you probably have a winner...

Just saw a local poll: New Cali citizens, Mexicans/Asians, support Arnold around 60%.

 

[ChuckSims]

Thanks FF, Good to hear. I wish Carib had more balls. A $50 max is a joke. Why even bother putting up bets if you don't want to take a bet.

 

[FatFrank]

I think the new Cali citizens like Arnold's appearance of an immigrate(still ethnic talking & such) that's 'made good.'

No kidding. Its not like this is survivor or American Idol where some small portion of the population knows the true results. It's an election. Let people bet $500.

I want to get down on Gary Coleman. what's the line?

I'll take the limit at 100-1

 

[ChuckSims]

I'll give you a million to 1

 

[JakeT.]

I'll take action on a million to one.

 

[drunkguy]

chucky...

I'll gladly send you a dollar (via mail Neteller or Paypal) provided you will send me a million if he winds. Sounds like positive EV to me

 

[ChuckSims]

I trust you. You can send me the buck after the midget gets squashed like a junebug on Oct 7.
