Like in Vegas, do casinos let you bet on the presidential election?

I'm surprised Vegas allows NBA basketball betting knowing full well that the refs are just as crooked as American politicians :-\

NBA basketball supposedly has drug testing in place yet nobody comes up dirty. Now tell me that isn't a crooked system :-\

I doubt it would even be looked at as legal since it is pretty much common knowledge Obama will destroy any GOP runner that comes up against him, it would be like robbing the people who bet against him  :D

I don't think it should be legal this year at all is my point, robbing poor, non educated people is not right.

Obama will win.  The Republican candidates are so poor.  People see right through Mitt's every man bullshit and Newt is an unlikable guy with a lot of baggage in his past. Ron Paul is out since he isn't more than a niche candidate.

That Newt dude just seems like an Uber-closet tinker bell who has a paid beard wife...Much like Kelsey Grammer.

The Republican candidates are so poor, its almost as if its done on purpose to get Obama his next 4 years to keep the socialism truck moving in the right direction.

i tried to bet on the election in 2008, the moment palin was selected.   no luck.  website said americans cant bet on it.

sadly, i'd bet on obama to beat the GOp offering in 2012 as well - mitt is soo much like him and santorum is just too extreme.  them's just facts.  ROmney was up 10 on obama among independents in nov... now he's down 9 points.  that's a 19 point swing among the people who decide the election.   If the perception, right or wrong, is that the economy is improving, Obammers the Kenyan wins.

Three weeks ago, intrade had obama at 51% chance of winning re-election.

He's at 59.8 today.

repubs need to unite.  they're split down the middle and using superPACs to nuke each other.

This would have been easy money back in the good ol' George Bush days !!

Votes were counted as many times as it took Bush to win, haha  ;D ;D

I just can't see either one of those knuckleheads winning the election.
