Romney Looks Like the Next Pres

Discussion in 'Politics' started by jem, Apr 13, 2012.

  1. My motivation is $-based. I have ~$10k riding on a win at even money. This is after laying off the majority of the risk when Rom was in the high 20s. Money that was to be spent on a JL Audio subwoofer. So the lack of bass in my household will be Romney's fault.

    I asked this earlier, but you never answered. Are you still as confident on that bet as you were a week or so ago?

  3. Most intimidation results from a thick neck and a buzz-cut. ;)

    No one here has more riding on the outcome than jem. AK is copying from various sources, but jem is his own source, the "jem algo".

  6. I missed it.

    I am not. How can I be with the digital going from 23 (pre-debate) to 37? Unfortunately for both of us the election hinges on Ohio and not turnout. I would run nothing but pro collective bargaining and auto-bailout ads if I were an Obama CA, but they haven't called for advice.

    I think $10,000 qualifies as "more than the jem algo".

    You answered my next question - you're putting more faith in the digital than the polls, then.

  9. If Romney loses you were wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong :) ...I told you you were wrong the last 6 months and the first page of this thread :) .I told you Rasmussen was garbage and they will lose all of their credibility in 7 days


    You're still a cool cat though Jem

  10. I put no real faith in the National digital, beyond my ability to hedge. I can layoff all my risk and lock a $12k return (beyond counterparty risk), so you can infer the unhedged notional risk. I am looking state by state and in reality it's all Ohio now. Ohio is everything. NV is not in play, nor is PA nor FL.

    I am only looking at Silver's blog and the payout on the OH digital. I do believe that Soros has been inactive in this election's digital, but no way to know.

    A loss will deplete my (hidden from wife) Wells Fargo slush/hooer/toy fund.
