    My guess is nobody by the line change.
     


    no interest in tying money up for 3.5 months

    if mccain wins, i dont have to pay my account as much so it all evens out i guess

    Van, do me this favor and put your money where your mouth is...

    Please unload on Obama and copy and paste your ticket here for all to see. 

    I guess it's your opinion that heavy favs never lose... 

    -200 lose in baseball at least once a week, and in football +200 and higher win every weekend... what's your point?

    The line is based on public perception... Anyone remember Michigan vs. Florida last year, I think it was the outback bowl, Michigan wins a game they're a 10 point dog in and +400 ML.

    I really hope you're not trying to forecast the winner of the presidential election by vegas odds.

    On a side note:  Wasn't Hillary a heavy favorite?  How'd that turn out?

    You guys sound like a bunch of homer fans.
     
    Koaj - if you didnt have to tie up your money for 3 months - would you bet it at +200?
     
    Honestly.  Would you bet it now - with the terms that you would pay or be paid the day after the election?
     
    I already have laid -160 up to -200, and will continue to lay more.  Short of a major scandal - I dont see any way that McCain can win.

    A lot of Patriots backers we're singing the same tune...

    How many people laid up heavy on the Superbowl Pats ML thinking it was a sure thing. 

    GL buddy if i were you i'd start to hedge my bet...

    Get your bets in early.  Announcement not actually coming until Saturday but looks like Biden is the guy.

    Get your bets in early.  Announcement not actually coming until Saturday but looks like Biden is the guy.

    Joe Biden son of a used car salesman
     
    I don't like either of our options, but if Obama is gonna be the next president, i like the idea of Biden being VP

    McCain better drop his orange spray tans and focus on a quality tailor because Obama / Biden are well dressed dudes
     
    Also, I would recommend some high heels for McLame because he will look like a midget standing next to Obama or Biden on stage.
     
    And, Biden wears Bow Ties

    Hi, I was never warned about anything, I am new here and was just letting everybody know that i am here! Nobody gave me a reply and I only got 2 replies they were some kind of scarsam  so you are telling me were not allowed go to other people sites? and post anything? Your here posting on this site, why are you in the penalty box? So you tell me you don't got to other peoples sites, I have said nothing wrong and I have done nothing wrong I see every body here going to other people sites, that is perfectly normal. and when they get to sites they post something....just like you did.... I see no reason for me to be in the penalty box. unless I get to play hockey and I am not playing hockey. What you are saying does not make any sense at all....
