shit I dont know what to do already have $500 on Bush at another book, should I buy some more at WSEX or should i sit tight? I cant see why theselines woulddrop so fast as even the poll posted by Drudge is too close to make the lines change like this
no way would i bet on Kerry right now....think its heads up flip a coin.....way too much overreaction.......public is all over Kerry obviously.....
anything better than +100 for either candidate isn't a bad bet....

In my heart I still think Bush is going to prevail but although I may regret it I just don't have the balls to sink any more funds into this prop. Something is up for those lines to change that dramatically a huge amount of funds has to be pounding on the Kerry side and usually these late funds are syndicate funds with alot of inside info.
I just don't know how somebody could have insider info yet...the polls are still open. Hell, a lot of people are now just getting off work.
Wilson,
Im not sure but for a line to move that much means that it is being hit hard! This line movement reminds me of the times in college football and basketball when a team annouces multi-player suspensions right before kickoff and the line drops like what we are seeing. I wish you luck on your bet, but I dont feel good about putting more action on this prop. If I lose on Bush then it will be the best money that I have ever lost!

Kerry Overtakes Bush in Online Futures After Exit Poll Reports
Nov. 2 (Bloomberg) -- Traders reversed bets that George W. Bush would win the U.S. presidential election after Web sites posted what they said were exit polls showing John Kerry leading in battleground states including Florida and Ohio.
Kerry led Bush by 18.1 percentage points in trading on the Iowa Electronic Markets, a not-for-profit political betting system run by the University of Iowa, as of 3:40 p.m. New York time. Kerry held a 16 percentage-point lead on Intrade, an electronic betting exchange based in Dublin known by its Web site TradeSports.com.
Ninety minutes earlier, Bush had a 3.8 percentage-point advantage over Kerry on the Iowa market and a 13.5 lead on Intrade. In Iowa, Bush futures last traded at 38.7 and Kerry was quoted at 56.8. On Intrade, Bush futures were quoted at 42, down from 57 at 2 p.m. Kerry was quoted at 58, up from 43.
Internet gossip columnist Matt Drudge posted what he said were early exit poll results from 14 states at about 2:45 p.m. Washington time showing Kerry held a lead over Bush in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Although Drudge took the numbers off his Web site about 20 minutes later, other Internet sites, including Slate.com and Wonkette.com, have similar figures.

As optomistic as I would like to be about Kerry's chances this has to be a case of balancing the books.
