    How do those numbers work ?

    If I remember correctly.......In baseball gambling those figures would mean if I took McCain to win the election for every $100 I bet, if he won I would receive $450. And if I took Obama to win I'd have to put up $800 to win $100.

    Just wondering as I couldn't get your $20 bet/payout to work using that formula.

    That was only 15 of it the other 5 was on mccain winning 31 to 35 states but forgot that one:) it was 10/5/5

    This isn't for gambling it's just showing what the odds were I thought they were pretty interesting. I know one site already paid out all the Obama as winners last month but forgot who it was

    I didn't ignore you but am mainly on the computer late at night weeknights while watching after my father. you posted like 3x in a row haven't you been warned yet(or do only anti mccain people get warned lol?)

    That's pretty freakin' crazy to pay out on a bet about the election before the election takes place ? That's just nuts !


    I guess I'll be getting a warning then :(
    Kind of a strange place to be........ Although I'll be voting for him I'm actually anti McCain. He just wasn't LAST on my list.
