Re: presidential election
Betfair prices, so you likely can't get on, but as a guide:
Rep candidate: Giuliani +122 Romney +265 Paul +1400 McCain +1500 Thompson +1900 Huckabee +1100 Dem: Clinton -250 Obama +460 Gore +2300 Edwards +1850 President: Dem -200 Rep +192 |

Re: presidential election
Looking at WSEX prices there's value in shorting candidates like Ron Paul and Fred Thompson for Rep. Nom, but who wants to hold onto futures for that long for a 4% return on non-negligible risk? Interesting to hear an analysis on +EV choice to win though.

I think that ticket is a crash and burn, Edwards has got to get on there for a chance. |

Re: presidential election
My gut says there is a lot of value on Romney at +265. To greatly minimize risk you could put 1u on Rudy at +122 and 1u on Romney at +265. I'd estimate that > 90% of the time one of these 2 gets the nod and if I were booking I'd have both at -105.

Re: presidential election
Yeah getting that much on Obama, probably has some value, but it's thin.

Re: presidential election
Bottom line, do you guys think this country is ready to elect a female President?
I don't no matter how bad the Republican is. |

All republicans should burn for banning online gambling...all of them plus any other politician who wants to tell dumb yanks what to do.
