2008 Presidential Election Odds
May 22, 2008
Whether you don’t really care who is going to be the next president of the United States or you are a political junky, you have an opportunity to cash in on the 2008 presidential odds at BetUS. BetUS is one of the most respected online sportsbooks in the industry today offering more betting options than other leading books.
Hillary Clinton is the favorite by oddsmakers to make history as the first ever female president of the United States of America. She was left for dead after losing to Barack Obama in the Iowa Caucus, but a rebound in the New Hampshire primary has left her a huge favorite going into the Michigan primary. You can bet the former first lady at +110 at BetUS Sportsbook.
Barack Obama is right on her heels in the polls and the odds reflect it. He is trying to break through as the first ever African American president. Whether he or Hillary wins could tell us if our country is more sexist or more racist in the present day. Both race and gender are sure to be unfair determinants for some voters. If you think Barack Obama will get the most electoral votes in the end, you can grab him at +200.
On the Republican side, John McCain took the New Hampshire primary, but Mitt Romney, whose Dad was a popular Governor in Michigan, could make some noise at the Michigan Primary. However, McCain is still listed as the favorite. You can bet on the Michigan Primary at BetUS.com as well if you really get into political betting. Of the current favorites to capture the presidency, McCain appears to be a strong value bet at +400 odds. The Arizona Senator fits the mold of many of our previous presidents, but perhaps America is ready for something different.
