anyone see a book that is posting a line on whether or not torre will get fired? checked a bunch and haven't seen one

word on the radio here is he's 100% out, announcement tomorrow and mattingly is in

[/ QUOTE ]

out <> fired.

I have No at -270 on Torre being fired from pre-season.
I win if he retires or they hire someone else w/o firing him. Or his contract runs out.

Bodog Prop I like:

Al Gore to announce he is running by November 1st. No -600. $300 to win $50

There is very little chance he is running. Reasons for no:

1) Even with the peace prize, his national approval ratings remain low.
2) Campaigns are about money and he has none.
3) The logics of setting up a campaign staff are nearly insurmountable.
4) He would have trouble getting on some ballots
5) His close friends are putting down any speculation. If he were to run I would think he would at least use his friends to float the idea
6) There is no detection of behind the scenes moves of setting up a presidential run
7) His movie and the lies in it would come under much more fierce attack if he were to run
8) He is too fat to be a president

Reasons for yes:
1) He personally has not denied it
2) He could use it as a platform to push his global warming agenda even if he knows he has no chance of winning.

I place the chances of him running at 5% or less. So, -600 has nice value. It is not a freebee though (not like the saw4 bet to clear $18m).

[NajdorfDefense]

agree 99%, laying -600, odds are 5-10% imho.

And even if Gore does run, what's to say that he wouldn't declare after November 1st? Unless there is some hard deadline that I've overlooked. Gotta love Bodog and the free monies.

[/ QUOTE ]He needs to declare quickly if he is truly trying to win because he needs to get on the ballots of some key states.

Again - I do not think this is free money as you need to lay -600 and there is a chance he will run. I like the Saw4 bet much better.
