http://www.mybetting.co.uk/2004-us-presidential-elections.htm ok - since we are trading wizards we should understand these numbers, no? I admit - I have no clue. Anyone care to help out? 13-8 is that if you put up 13 $ or shekels you get back 8? ......or.. if you bet one dollar on bush, you win your dollar back plus 8/13 of a dollar (62 cents). if you bet one dollar on kerry, you win your dollar back plus 13/8 of a dollar ($1.63)
Perfect...here is a quote from the website above... I guess I better run off to the voting booth... ---------------------------------------- Who will stand for the next term in the Whitehouse? The US Presidential Elections take place in June 2004 ----------------------------------------------------------- I may wait until November to vote....at least this time... Don
So you don't know? I frankly don't give a rats ass who wins I just like to understand those silly numbers.
"Who will stand for the next term in the Whitehouse? The US Presidential Elections take place in' June 2004 ' Whats there to understand? There is no presidential election in June.
That is a typo (maybe the line will change in June - whatever)! Please pay attention to the odds likely they are better than any inane poll you find at home. I agree the numbers will become more interesting later this year.
If you bet $13 you win $8 (and you get your $13 stake back). Which is the same as "if you bet one dollar on bush, you win your dollar back plus 8/13 of a dollar (62 cents)"
