If you're going to make the biggest wager of your life, shouldn't you at least be sure to get decent odds. Current market price on this at Intrade is around 31 (+220).

You;re throwing away a lot of money at +170.

I would parlay it with "Hell Freezing Over" +10000000


Nothing we can do about it. We will have a Nigerian Muslim in office soon.

I love how everyone thinks their candidate is the greatest. When the hell are you all going to wake up and realize, they are ALL a bunch of money grubbing scumbags.

I don't remember saying that either one of these turds was my candidate.

I wish we could rid of both of them and start the election process all over again.

Wasn't directed at you, but a general statement about the entire political process in general.

I know people that believe all Dems or Reps are right about everything, but the reality of it is, they care about me and you about as much as I care about Brian Billick (I requested he be placed in a woodchipper machine last season).

I fucked up with this wager - I played it 3 months ago and have +140 - at the time I thought it was a lock - now it's going to be a dog fight

Average all over the web has no meaning. Intrade is the market here. It's all you really need to know. What some sportsbook that hardly books any of this moves it to from day to day means nothing. Watch the money flow at Intrade. McCain is 30/31 right now. It'll draft toward the mid 20's and then when it's obvious to anyone willing accept, will trade in the low 20's before election day. McCain has two chances: slim and none.

Doesnt Obama still lead all the polls. I realize you are trying to make a point, but saying no chance is just ridiculous.

dumb wager. especially since theres a R next to a mccain's name. also doesnt help that nobody is excited about mccain.

Sounds like you're betting with your heart and not your head. You're going to lose twice on election day November. You're better off betting Obama as a hedge to being saddened when he wins. Fishhead calls this a "heart hedge".

What you're basically saying is, even if you win your wager, you get fucked. :)
