U.S. Election Odds(Vegas Sportbooks)

[Celaya]

I was wondering do they have odds out now in Las Vegas Sportbooks to wager on the Presidential election? If so how much is max wager in most of them to get down more or less? If not out yet, Do you have any idea how much was allowed to wager on in the 2004 election between Bush/John Kerry?

Also been away from the game and am thinking of opening another offshore sportsbook. Which has the best odds & allow a lot of $$$ on the U.S. Presidential election as well? Thanks guys.%^_

You're late to the party(really late actually). Check out http://www.therxforum.com/showthread.php?t=621445

Obama is now a huge favorite, and some books have taken it down since it's become so one sided.

Vegas doesn't have election odds. Matchbook is the best place ( by far) to bet the current one

I guess that's because of too many umpires.

I scalped the election and will make 3 or 4 hundred depending on who wins.

I just looked it up at wsex.com
Obama -488
McCain +354

What a change from a week ago!

I think(too tired to look it up) I have McCain +220 and Obama -150.

 

[joebatters]

Now at wsex it's Obama -669
McCain +426

WTF? I thought this was supposed to be close at least.

Fyi

The 2004 election was the wildest ever.

Within a 2 hour span, one party was -250, then the other party became -250. That was on election day!!!!!!

Never seen anything like it, and still have the e-mails sent with the odds included.

I don't know much about them, but have heard the name. I'm not looking for new books now, only trust a few like 5D, Matchbook,WSEX, Greek,Jamaica... not too many more.

Anybody else know this Betmonarch ?

Vegas can't take action on anything involving a vote, which is why you wont' see odds on political elections, the Oscars, etc.

The CNN Presidential Electoral Map indicates this race is not even close.

Unless people who have been asked in a poll --LIED to the poll taker; It's OVER.
One tiny problem; polls don't vote.









Vote Obama 2008!

Wsex just lowered Mccain from +450 to +354

Matchbook still has +450 though
