Ted Cruz is not going to be the Republican nominee. Fact. Anyone want to dispute it? I'll lay $100.00 at five to one that he will not be the Republican Nominee in 2016.
Any takers? Didn't think so.
You didn't give anyone a chance to take. Just bloviated right on through.
Besides, if you are laying 100 at 5 to 1, that means the other person has to come up with 20 correct?
Or are you offering up 100 from the other and half a K on your end?
$100.00 is the minimum I will lay and, yes, If Cruz is elected President in 2016 the other end gets $500.00.
For serious betting, get hooked up with an overseas contact. Bovada as of last week had Cruz at 33-to-1 to make it all the way to the White House. Overseas sites also has Cruz at about 16-to-1 to win the nomination.
In 2012 I had Palin at 33-to-1 and covered my $100 bet on her with Romney to win the nomination. I did not bet the general election. A little voice in my head kept saying that Mitt was going to mess up.
I now have a $100 on Palin at Paddy Power at a 100-to-1. If she gets in I will add to that bet at whatever the odds will be. And of course cover down with the frontrunner if it is not Palin.
I will also bet the general this time if Hillary is in. Hillary to lose.
Palin at 100-1? Damn, Bows those are great odds...for the house. They shoulda given you 1,000,000(or more)-1. I'll give you 200-1 right now. .
