Increasing evidence is gathering in the polls of the fact that the debate is no longer will Obama win but how much will Obama win by and how many other Democrats will win with him.
Well join me after the fold to see how confident the betting industry has become....
DUBLIN: Major Irish betting company Paddy Power is so sure Barack Obama will win the US presidential election next month that it paid out more than E1 million ($2 million) on pro-Obama bets yesterday. "We declare this race well and truly over and congratulate all those who backed Obama - your winnings await you," said a company spokesman, also named Paddy Power.
The company said it was paying out to reward customers and acknowledge the inevitable.
The betting industry when it thinks something is inevitable would:
* start by reducing the odds so they pay out nothing if the "sure thing" wins
* then refuse to accept any new bets
* but paying out to the winners before the event has happened is almost unheard of
there may be someone in Dublin who has a Time Machine who has gone forward 3 weeks to see what happens.
The biggest winner: someone who gambled E100,000 and collected E150,000.
The most visionary: a E50 bet placed in 2005 that, because Senator Obama was rated a 50-1 no-hoper at the time, paid out E2550.
This thing is OVER, so much for the MSM meme of "too close to call".
However do not get complacent, remember everyone may have made up their mind but they have to actiually vote and those votes have to actually be counted.
Remember 2000
Remember New Hampshire primary this year
Get out there and vote, phone bank, donate, this will happen if YOU make it happen.
