Nice 6 month CD between Matchbook and 5Dimes

Obama to win the Democratic nomination is +105 at 5Dimes
Hillary to win the Democratic nomination is +116 at matchbook

JakeT. · Feb 7, 2008

Nicely done.

Good find, but not worth the hold on your money.

Not only does Gore have no chance to win it, but even if you think that the specific bet on 5Dimes is the field to win the Democratic nomination (anyone but Hillary) so it is guaranteed providing one of the books doesnt go under

mike0187 · Feb 7, 2008

only $382 worth at matchbook....but honestly you would be better off taking NOT Obama at +113 at Matchbook and Hillary +116 at Matchbook

JakeT. · Feb 7, 2008

I'd love nothing more than an Obama card with Gore as the vice. That's the best case scenario for me.

If I did my math right it is a 9.3% return on your money.

Care to explain?

mike0187 · Feb 7, 2008

It's guaranteed money, but with only $382 available on Hillary...probably not worth 6 months to grab $40 or whatever

But if you went not Obama at +113 at Matchbook, there is over $2000 available and then may be worth it

Hahahaha yeah I was gonna say.

But also if I remember right if the Obama side at 5Dimes wins then as soon as it wins you get the money (they won't hold it until the nomination is done like other sites will)

Ah yes, that would be nice since this thing could be over within a few weeks

This is how I did it. Maybe wrong though as I am not a math whiz.

$100 to win $105 on Field (Obama) to win at 5Dimes
$90.52 to win $105 on Hillary at matchbook

$190.52/205 = 9.29%

TheWolf · Feb 7, 2008

I see you guys gobbled it all up already! LOL.

HinesWard86 · Feb 7, 2008

Hahahahaha and now the Hillary to win at +116 is gone and a huge chunk of Obama not to win at +113 is gone. Shit never lasts long.

mike0187 · Feb 7, 2008

LOL yep its gone...seriously though, grab that Obama Yes at 5dimes, and Not Obama at Matchbook...even better

edit: Yep, some of the Not Obama also gone...still almost $1500 left
