What are the odds on the California governor election? :D

I think most books have stopped taking bets on this now, but here are the opening numbers that betwwtts posted:

The offshore gaming company still lists Arnold Schwarzenegger as the favorite to win the race and be elected the next Governor of The Golden State at 4/7 odds (i.e., win $4 for every $7 bet). Although "The Terminator" is the odds-on favorite, Lt. Governor Cruz Bustamante has closed the gap and his odds are down to 5/4 at BetWWTS.com from opening odds of 7/5 in mid-August. Other notable candidates that BetWWTS.com has created individual odds for include: Peter Ueberroth (8/1), Tom McLintock (10/1), Arianna Huffington (18/1), Loretta Sanchez (25/1) and Peter Camejo (25/1).

The books are taking bets on 2004 presidential election, Dem. party nomination, ect now though.

Damn so if Arnold is the favorite and you bet on him, you loose money? What kind of gay shit is that?

[Gongshow]

You don't lose money if he wins Shibby...you get back your original bet money, plus $4 profit for every $7 that you bet.

Gong, some books take bets on EVERYTHING....American Idol, which city will win their bid for the 2012 Olympics...whether the stock market will close up or down the next day...EVERYTHING.
