Kerry +123 at Pinny
So last week it was +150. For those that don't know, that is how much you will win if you bet $100. Last night it was 130. This morning 127. Now 123. +123 is about 45%. The line has dipped like this before, with Bush rebounding.
I strongly suspect that fan money is on Bush. I have no real basis for this, other than Bush supporters tend to be more fanatical than Kerry supporters, who are fanatical in their hate of Bush, but not for Kerry. I think more Laker fans bet on the Lakers than Laker haters bet against them (check out Piston v Laker lines, scewed toward LA). I also suspect at least 10 or so point is due, correctly, to the idea that if its a tie, Bush will "find" a way if you know what I mean. House of Reps, Fla Gov, Supreme Court, all are intangibles in his favor. Bush is spinning like a mother on this missing explosives, I think he will be somewhat successful in this regard. Kerry has played his hand, that TV commercial maybe overplay. Cost of war billions more, not good for Bush. He is on the defensive, but some teams are better on the defensive, see Ravens, or counter-punching. |

Re: Kerry +123 at Pinny
Kerry jumped from about 40% to 45% the last couple days on tradesports.com as well. That's about the same size of boost he got out of the debates as well.

Re: Kerry +123 at Pinny
Yeah, Pinny line is 124 but it was 129 this morning. So a gambler who likes Kerry now should take Pinny right now than your line at 47%, which is more like +113.
Of course, if you like Kerry you mighta got him a few months ago at +200 or so. Who knew?? |

Re: Kerry +123 at Pinny
i follow the futures market at intrade.com it, bush peaked there at 70% following his convention, he was at 60% earlier this week, now he is at 51%. really what i think the market is saying is that "we thought bush would win because he is the incumbent, but on second thought now that it is getting close we really have no idea what is going to happen."
i don't know what will happen either, i think kerry has more of a surprise factor on his side in that there can be a sizable number of people that come out and vote for him that aren't captured by polling and that have never voted before. |

Now at +105!
And at Tradesports, Bush and Kerry are basically even. This all happened in about the last hour. What was it? The terror video?

Re: Now at +105!
I believe intrade and tradesports are actually the same market.

Re: Now at +105!
I agree. I was talking about Pinnacle and Tradesports, which are different.

Re: Now at +105!
Its 118 at Pinnacle. This is the lowest I have seen and I expect it to fall further if what you say is correct about the other sites.
Why?? THE VIDEO OF THE MISSING WEAPONS!!! ABC News has got the video that makes it really hard to argue these weapons disappeared pre-invasion. |
