I have bet Obama (democratic party over republican party) for the last several months, all the way up to -200 where it sits now.

If something major doesnt happen like illness or death, it is inconceivable to me that Newt or Mitt can beat him, and forget Santorum.

Dont care whrere you stand politically - I know you nutjobs will want to turn this in to a political debate about the candidates merits - Im just talking pure gambling value.

You will not see a -200 again that has this much value.  The downside is you are making a 9 month wager, but it is printing money.

Why would the Repukes contest his re-election, when he is the best candidate that they could hope for?

ON a side note Van, how do you feel about Bama's presidency as an American, not a gambler?  I remember you being all giddy about how great he'd be for the country, and you bought into the whole transparency bs

it would be fun to bump someof the threads from back around the last election

I would talk about that in another thread.  I want to leave this totally gambling if possible.

Van van van. There will be a few days where the line will be -140/-160 Obama.....August 31-September 2, 2012.

It will be at that time that I 'sell' my Romney futures of +2100 from two years ago for value.

Do you remember 2008...as we were still getting Obama -175 the night before the election. A pretty profit as I remember. God bless right wingers and their parent's credit cards

And this will be the first gambling election without matchbook, which does play a little into how I bet this year.

Obama is a Lock....

Vanzack posting this thread today may be a prophetic sign an omen...

 In fact Pres.Obama will be in Wisconsin today ...checking-out Locks..

 Last month in his State of the Union Address, Obama highlighted Milwaukee padlock manufacturer Master Lock bringing 100 jobs back from China.

The company is now preparing for the President to see its work first hand.

He was -120 the week of the election last year....

I bet it all the way from -125 up to -200 yesterday....  If it goes back down, probably will bet more.....

Robinia pseudoacacia

It's just a waiting game. The way I see Obama is definitely a LOCK simply because minorities, women, and left leaning white males are much more united than your average centrist divided whites.

You can take that to the bank.
