Exotics/Presidential Nominations

I just checked, using your link and the odds were Ron Paul 15-1

Oddly enough, Arnie is listed at 250-1 and he can't even run.

You sure? Maybe you need to refresh your page? I just checked again, it's 7-1

The drop-down menu for "Exotics" keeps disappearing on me. Is there a better link to this?

Thanks.

Thanks, angrydragon.

I'm not a betting person -- what does "Rudy Giuliani = 6-5 " mean. Shouldn't it be "6-1"?

 

[angrydragon]

I'm not sure, I don't gamble.

The 7-1 odds are for the nomination.
The 15-1 odds are the presidential election race.

Everyone needs to put some money on Ron Paul, the more money on Ron Paul, the tighter his odds are going to get.

You will find that betting odds will be more accurate than polls at this stage.

Betting odds will also make it onto mainstream election coverage as well.

Look at it as 1.2-1.

That basically means, bet 100 on Giuliani you win 120.

No.

Considering Giuliani always has his foot in his mouth, I'm not quite sure how he got those odds. I've never seen a horse with it's foot in it's mouth win a horse race before...

6-5 on ghoulliani means his odds are better than 2-1.in other words, every 5 bucks you bet, you get 6 back...... for every 1 dollar you bet on ron, you get back 7....... so obviously they favor rudy, but remember, just a month ago they had ron at 200-1 odds......... the truth is coming out, at least where it counts, in the pocketbook.

 

[joenaab]

odds are set purely based on betting activities, not on the odd-maker's belief as to who has a better chance of winning. they set the odds in a way that guarantees they make money, regardless of who wins. still, it makes for an interesting story and is certainly better news than his odds dropping.

No, you are better off donating. By just pushing the market in a particular way your are effectively manipulating the price.

If the odds are good value, then buy - but don't just keep buying to push them up for the purpose of making him get attention.

Donations will translate into more supporters and hence shorter odds.

i saw it 7-1. poor gilmore, the guy isn't even listed!

How can Rudy's odds to win be that good? Are most Republicans really that ignorant to want him as president? They want more of the same? (or worse). Man, we got our work cut out!

Betting odds are certainly much more telling than the polls being taken, thats for sure.

The fact that McCain is given much much better odds than Romney seems strange to me. McCain is pretty much a non-starter, given his support for the amnesty bill and a few other hot-button issues.
I'm also a little unsure on the Ron Paul 7-1 odds. I'm kind of wondering what their motivations really are.

No, they are not. That just indicates that people are placing bets on Ron Paul. It gives no indication of whether or not people will vote for him.
