8. Wow, that's bizarre compared to the offshore betting odds

Bush was a 5/9 favorite (bet 90 to win 50) on election eve 2000. I'm ashamed to admit I wagered $1600 to win $1000 on Bush a week earlier when he was 5/8. I bet what I think, not what I hope, and honestly rooted to forfeit the $2600 for 36 days, until the SCOTUS thievery.

I should get involved in that Iowa Electronics Market if it tilts to extreme on election eve. To be fair, the quoted odds on 2004 are not far off. It has generally been a pick 'em race among offshore books the last few months, down from Bush a 5/7 favorite early this year.
