I'm smelling greens heading my way. And not the reputation version of greens.
I think I might pick up the new WII U with my earnings.

On one hand, OP got much better odds (1:1 vs 4:9) than he could have placed anywhere else.

On the other hand, it's only 100 bucks so who really cares.. Though there are some people on R/P I would not trust to pay a $1 loss.. for example, SheHadMANHands (notsrs, man of highest honor and undeniable integrity).

I probably could have created an arbitrage opportunity via Intrade, but it's only $100 and not really worth the effort. If people would have taken advantage of the original bet of up to $500, I would have probably hedged the bet.

I feel like another 4 years of Obama, this time unhinged, very well may irreparably harm this country. However, I also think he's going to win. $100 action, via PayPal, to any takers. What a shame Tekkendo is too poor and pathetic to get in on any of this.
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

Romney still has a way to go but he has momentum going for him now. If Romney does good in 3rd debate without coming off as a warmonger I think he will win.
Romney has to be very careful with his choice of words regarding foreign policy..nobody wants another war.
I believe it's in Romneys hands to lose or win..not Obamas.
Kind of like a title fight..the challenger has to win decisively and cleanly. If Obuma doesn't come up with some fresh ideas and keeps repeating the same old crap while Romney is scoring high points Obuma loses.

mind=blown at people taking 1:1 odds on Romney to win. With a statistically insignificant difference in the polls, against the first black incumbent president, during a period of societal unrest towards the ultra-wealthy (which Romney is associated with) and Wall Street in particular (which Romney is also associated with).
