Ron Paul a Bigger Bet Than the PatriotsImagine that! 2008 US Presidential candidate Ron Paul received more betting action than the New England Patriots this week. Say what?
The red hot Patriots are no match it seems for Paul, whose grass roots Internet campaign has been lighting up the odds.
Sportsbook.com released odds this week on how much money Ron Paul supporters will raise in a single day's period - the next scheduled "money bomb" - December 16.
The company was working to possibly adjust the $5 mil over/under line it had originally opened up with.
"We've had some great action thus far on the Ron Paul bet," commented Dave Staley of Sportsbook.com.
With the demand high, a number of would-be bettors have been asking questions that Sportsbook.com was looking for further clarification. One in particular dealt with the fund raising exclusive to the TeaParty07.com website and whether the TeaParty07 site alone should be used for determining how much funds have come in on that day.
In any event, Ron Paul supporters are excited over the likelihood that this type of promo will help boost their candidate's money drive over the target goal of $12 mil set for the 4th quarter of 2007.
His campaign is about to reach the $9 mil mark as early as this weekend.
