Now you have been here long enough to know I do NOT understand anything at all about finances!
Give me the Cliff Notes.
If you bet on Rudy being the the Republican Candidate today, for a $100- bet, at 4/1 odds, you will get back $500-if he wins the nomination...that's your original bet back, plus the four-hundred dollars they were prepared to lose today...
McCain drifting means the opposite scenario, the money you bet on him today isn't worth as much as it was yesterday...
it's gambling I know, but it's usually more accurate than the polls...no agenda, just about the money, that's all. I'm not ever going to condone gambling to anyone, but I really spanked Ladrokes last July while I was in England with a three grand bet on Tiger to win the Open at 6/1...it's deviant but it's a great addiction!!
