I will bet 5 people who are willing to bet $5k that McCain beats Obama. Obama will win the popular vote, but lose the electoral. We can hold money in escrow. PM me if interested. I am obv taking McCain.
07-29-2008 , 06:10 PM
Even money I assume? What happens if McCain wins electoral and popular?
07-29-2008 , 06:12 PM
hmm...nah, I'd only make 30% if I hedged it, I can do better
07-29-2008 , 06:14 PM
I am only betting on who becomes president.

Lol, take that money to intrade, where you'll get a bunch of odds. Obama is 63-35 favorite over there.

If I had the money, I'd bet you 25k that Obama wins at even money, then I'd put another 25k on McCain on intrade for a tasty freeroll.

Obama loses Ohio and Florida

I just got into this kind of betting, so I was giddy that I actually noticed the opportunity.

Ya I'm lame.

ill take the full action 25k on obama, we can obv escrow on either stars or ftp with any of the respected highstakes nl people who have escrowed in the past. i am sure many will be willing to do it for me
07-29-2008 , 06:43 PM
If you can do the whole 25 yourself, would you like to bump up the bet?
07-29-2008 , 06:50 PM
You should bet on Obama. If he loses you always have tax cuts to fall back on and if Obama wins at least you can stand the tax hikes having just won 25k.

Fool-proof logic, amirite?

I don't know much about 2+2 betting history, but would this be one of the larger wagers?
07-29-2008 , 07:23 PM
i'd like to bet on obama being assassinated by some untraceable person at 500-1
07-29-2008 , 07:29 PM
so you are offering free money to anyone with an account on a trade site that offers mccain at like 2:1? ok.

I hope you're aware that it's quite possible, should Obama lose Ohio and Florida (Ohio being the only real question mark here as Florida ain't voting for Obama), that he will win the election anyway.

Wait, it's racist not to vote for a black guy?
07-29-2008 , 07:52 PM
we prob shouldn't influence the action, guys. maybe we should save all comments for after the wager is totally booked.
07-29-2008 , 07:55 PM
Frankly, I agree with him.
07-29-2008 , 08:05 PM
i pm'd him and received no response

i am also willing to wager much more than 25k if this guy is legit and escrowed, but that isn't seeming to be the case

*edit* also browsing his posting history it seems he plays 10 dollar sngs, so it is likely this was either a lame trolling attempt, or an attempt to set up a potential scam.

that said, if he turns out to be legit i will obv wager as ive stated in the past. i currently have about 10k in action on the election, and am willing to book up to 100k more. if anyone else is interested in any 1k+ wager, pm me
07-29-2008 , 08:08 PM
I replied in this thread. I'm not dodging you. Just PM me and tell me how it works, and I will confirm the holders of the money with my friends ( they will know the person holding the $$$$ )....how about 50k?
07-29-2008 , 08:14 PM
Snaggle,

Please let me know either in this thread or by PM if OTD doesn't come through or is unreliable in any way about this so I can lock/infract/ban him as appropriate for clogging up the forum.
07-29-2008 , 08:28 PM
this is an obvious scam anyone that wants to bet big in mccain bets on intrade instead.
