Default Re: Ron Paul is going to take Nevada and New Hampshire

Wasn't someone offering me 1:1 on ron paul getting 8% of the vote in New Hampshire a few months ago? I'd love to take that bet, whoever you were.

It was MPK, and the numbers 7% NH/5% Iowa. I was going to back MPK because I thought it was a pretty good bet at the time. I wouldn't put any money on that at this point.

I still don't think he'll beat these by much, but clearly since July (when the original bet was offered) Paul has drastically exceeded expectations and gained momentum.

RCP poll averages have Paul at 6.8% in New Hampshire, 4.5% in Iowa. I suspect he'll end up punting in one of those states (Iowa) and pouring resources in the other (NH). So if I had to bet now, I suspect he'd be close to 5% in Iowa and would beat 7% in NH.

But yes, had you taken the bet in July, it would have looked pretty good right about now.

I think I am who you are thinking of...I believe I actually offered 1:1 on the under of 7% in NH. But I have to admit Paul has done better than I expected in the intervening months and I would not take that bet any more. I think the 5% in Iowa that I offered before is more or less a push now.

Anyone interested in a money bomb pool?

$X per pick and closest to the actual figure on 12/16 takes the pot?
