RE: Pokery Presidential Politics

Though they don\’t have a point spread on the popular vote, Ladbrokes is taking bets from non-American players on the presidential election.

From Online Casino Reports:

Obama now stands at 1.07 at Ladbrokes, against McCain\’s 7.5. The odds on Obama winning more than 370 of the 568 seats on offer have shortened to 2.62, with the Democrat candidate favored to win most of the battleground states.

British bookmakers are also taking bets on who\’s gonna be the next Secretary of State. (Wow.) I think we should give the next president authority to take the entire national Treasury and place a wager.
