How Bad will the Books be hurt by a Kerry Win

assassin · Nov 2, 2004

Everyone, even me, figured out that you bet Kerry at the Books and Bush on the P2P.

Now the books are lopsided (I would guess) and they are beggin people to bet on Bush.

Exit polls seem to be creating increased steam as well.

Am I correct here, or way off base (amatuer here, like to hear from some in the know)

Books will get crushed either way. Stupid to take bets on an election so close as this one was/is, especially giving away those kind of odds.

This should have been a pick em from the start and should have remained that way.

Books will be fine. They can play at the P2Ps too you know.

The majority of books will do fantastic on this election.

Many should be in a strong WIN-WIN situation.

doy, I honestly did not think of that.
However, it might be tough for them to get down much action quickly, but I guess that is true.

Anyone working for a Book? Do you guys law off on P2Ps

No way books lose money with some of the ridiculous 40+ cent spreads they were offering.

But I can't believe anyone was betting Bush at the books based on the lines at p2p.

maybe i'm not making sense.
Maybe they were getting even action.

maybe bush even wins.

a few books have taken down election numbers (bowmans, linesmaker)

The books lay off al kinds of action. As you stated, the difference betweens books and P2Ps. Smart books were making a guaranteed 2 to 4% on every $ wagered.
