I assume this is for the Repub nom.

You're pretty much betting on whether or not he dies before the convention, right?

He doesn't have to die, he's had skin cancer 6 times.

Considering he's available at -2000 this is a grim bet.

There is also the small chance of scandal.

Im sure an actuary has sat down and worked out the probability of a man of his age and medical background being forced off the ticket.

You could get a 2.75% APY return at ING on a 6 month CD with no risk. Why lay -4900 on McCain?

If you're interested in -4900 bets that last more than a week, you need to reassess your decision to bet on sports.
