The survey shows that the race remains close among likely voters, with Obama at 49 percent and Romney at 48 percent, virtually unchanged from a poll taken just before the conventions. |

I love that. It confirms everything I said about the people betting on this election.

betislands now has Obama -240.
Oh well, free money as I see it anyway.
The odds will only go higher after each debate.
Gimme the incumbent, laying $2,400 to make $1,000.
See you winners at the cash window.

Since 2003, in the NFL regular season, there have been 1,384 games played with a spread of -4 or higher. The favorites have straight up won 1,035 of these games. Or about 75%.
I will assume, for the sake of argument, that(generally speaking) a spread of 4.5-5.5 will fall in line with the home team being about a -200 to -250 favorite in these situations and all favorites(road or home) being at least -160 when favored by a a minimum of 4 points.
Considering Obama is the incumbent with a supposed "home field" advantage, the lines we currently see offered are dictating about a 5(give or take 0.5) point Obama advantage(-223 at Pinnacle, -235 at 5dimes).
Statistically speaking, being such a favorite, Obama should win SU appromixately 75% of the time, if you want to make NFL analogies and comparisons.
Obama doesn't need to cover. He just needs to win. Huge difference. Right now, it's looking quite favorable.
Also, it appears Romney just fumbled the ball inside his own 35 with his glaring faux pas on the Egyptian/Libyan embassies situation last night. Not a smart or winning play. His QB coach and offensive coordinator are throwing their clipboards and staring at him in disbelief.
Team Obama with the lead and the ball. First and 10 near FG range. Start of the 4th quarter.
I would not bet against them.

betislands has raised it to Democrat -250 now.
And they have me limited to a $200 maximum wager. 
Wagering $200 to make $80.
Whoopie, Wifey will blow that on nails and a pedicure.

What lead? Obama has less cash on hand than Romney.
There are zero incumbent Senators in close races embracing Obama. (Media ignore anti-Obama Dems)
Obama is the most unpopular 1st Term President in modern history and the econmy sucks.

Yes, there are two paths you can go by,
but in the long run
There's still time
to change the road you're on.
