Ron Paul Betting at 25 to 1 OddsFor the Ron Paul supporter who reads Gambling911.com daily, it's no secret we have watched the odds drop from 200-1 all the way down to 6 to 1 over the past three months. These odds can be found at the sportsbook of choice from our own Carrie Stroup, Sportsbook.com.
Last week, Gambling911.com presented its readers with a new online gambling site in which to place Ron Paul wagers, World Sports Exchange . The resulting onslaught: WSEX was forced to move its odds on Ron Paul from +2400 or 24/1 down to +1566. By Monday, Ron Paul was now listed with +900 odds. This is a direct result of Dr. Paul supporters hammering WSEX. Only Rudy Giulini, Mitt Romney and Fred Thompson have been odds to win the Republican nomination (WSEX only offers candidate odds for party nomination).
Now we have another online gambling website that just recently included Ron Paul in its odds to win the 2008 US Presidency. Let's hear it for Gambling911.com sponsor, betED.com. But how about a tremendous round of boos for truly underestimating the support base of Dr. Paul by issuing 25 to 1 odds on this particular candidate. That's a $2500 payout for every $100 bet on Ron Paul should he become the next US President.
Paul has been getting some solid press of late with CBS News interviewing the so-called "third tier candidate" who managed to raise more money than nearly every other Republican this quarter. Go figure!
Gambling911.com reporter, Carrie Stroup, was approached last month by the Tucker Carlson Show on MSNBC to discuss Ron Paul, among other issues. Unfortunately there was a scheduling conflict. Stroup regularly reports on the latest US Presidential odds with Ron Paul being a major topic since his odds seem to be the only one's moving (in the right direction, we should add). Stroup appeared as last month's Playboy Babe of the Month and is this month featured in FHM Magazine with full spread.
Obama could have his Obama Girl. Mitt can have his blonde bimbos. Ron Paul has hot + brains + talents all rolled into one. And let's face it, the Obama Girl hasn't exactly gotten past YouTube.
