The good news is...I got some attractive odds...
The bad news...is they want a minimum bet of fifty pounds, about one hundred dollars...
What do you think I should do here? I didn't want to bet that much because I don't think he'll go all the way, but let's say if I did bet him in a double, that is let the first odds of 33-1 for the nomination, ride as a win on the second odds of 66-1 for the Presidency, then I would win $227,800.00 if he gets to the White House as President..
I don't know guys, it seems like a real long-shot to me...but if I could win a little over a quarter of a million dollars for a hundred dollar bet if Duncan Hunter becomes the next POTUS, and you never know, he might do it, would you go for it or do you think I should spend that C-note on groceries???

ping. Get your money down.
I'd hit it!
LOL. 33/1, not bad. Watch it move as the weeks go by..
It's the MAXIMUM bet..not the minimum..
Take the bet,$100.00 on Duncan Hunter to win.

I think I will split the wager with my cousin in England at 50 bucks/twenty-five quid each...
You might better use that as part of your deductible on a brain scan.
Your right man, I read that all wrong, I will stick fifty dollars on him now asap...I don't believe he is on the radar yet and you never know!!!
Put your $100 down and after that contribute to Duncan Hunter.
A small wager wouldn't be that bad, this whole race has started too soon and long term odds are attractive, he'll probably be 16/1 in three months, I'm sure he will be much shorter odds as a VP candidate...I can't give him any money right now, I'm broke...
That's what built Vegas.
I know, those bloody bookies are killing me...
I would take the bet. I piss away my deductable every year on my health insurance and don't get any money back. Seeing as I support DH and will be actively promoting his campaign, what's another 100 to get myself to work a bit harder? You'll very likely lose, but then again it's a safer risk than betting the Cleveland Browns to win the Super Bowl. So it could be worse.
Don't waste your money. You may be spending more on this bet than all of Hunter's donors combined.
If you believe in him, send Hunter's campaign $100.
Otherwise keep your money or buy lottery tickets.
