The election results virtual betting/virtual odds thread!!!
Edited on Mon Nov-01-04 09:35 AM by HamdenRice
I am so on edge about tomorrow and yet optimistic, that I for one could use a pleasant but-on point diversion.

Using virtual money, I am willing to take bets and odds on various outcomes.

Here's my start. I will bet 10,000 virtual pre-war Iraqi dinars that Kerry will win the popular vote by at least a 10 point spread (ie 55 Kerry to 45 Bush) and I am giving 4:1 odds.

You don't have to bet against Kerry to take this bet. You may believe that there will not be a landslide and that Kerry will win, say, 53 Kerry, 47 Bush.

Just think -- you could be up 40,000 virtual pre war Iraqi dinars and still have an intelligent, rational president elect on Wednesday morning, if Kerry wins by less than 10 points in the popular vote.

I am also taking electoral vote bets.

After the election, perhaps we can figure out a function for virtual pre-war Iraqi Dinars -- like fines for starting flame wars or rewards for particularly insightful posts!
