What is the lowest line you've seen on Obama to win US Presidency?

Curious what people have seen out there, since it could be a nice arb opportunity (or a good way to move some Bonus Play money). I've seen McCain anywhere from +240 to +280. The lowest I've seen on Obama is around -175 (BetAtlas) and -190 (Bodog). Both of those books don't have the greatest rep, so I wondered if anyone has seen a better line out there for Barrack.

Also, I'm not political expert, but wondered what people's thoughts were on how the odds will be affected after the VP debate. Off the top of my head, I would think the odds would get a little bit heavier for the Democrats after that, but I'm just going off of how Palin looked in the Katie Couric interview and figure she's not gonna perform all that well in the debate.

Thoughts????

Odds were about 50/50 a couple weeks ago. Obama was actually available at + odds.

I jumped on Obama 1st at 5D -185 on August 6, then Aug 24 at Carib -140.
Finally DSI about 2 weeks later had Obama -115.

Took McCain 1st at +260 with DSI early in July. This election has been Scalp City. Best scalp opportunities in a long while.

Today I hit BetAtlas on Obama till I had a 0 balance @ -175 while LasPalmas has McCain at +270. This scalp is still available! Jump in!

Has BetAtlas gotten better as a book? I had a little trouble getting money out of there in December and heard the same from others.

I put some money on George Bush with less than a week before the 2004 election. I want to say it was 1-3 days before...

I got +240 odds. All of the ABC, CBS, CNN unbiased "exit polls" had John Kerry winning.

that scenario is different then this scenario. you've got people now who think being called a republican is insulting. there was a vid posted somewhere that was hilarious with reactions when a guy just said republican to there face.
