Alupa and Himay are betting on the election. Alupa has 50, straight up (even odds), on Red, and Himay has Blue. If anyone wants in on this, please chime in and pony up. There was a great conversation about how any voter fraud, tampering, whatnot that results in a Republican victory still goes to Alupa, and for those of you playing roulette along with us at home, this means that he gets zero and double zero : ) But that’s sort of distracting from the original, very straightforward wager. The original wager, which, in his own words, means for Alupa, if “I win, the country loses.”
Now, of more immediate concern is the side action on the nominations. If you want in on that, the odds and stakes must be negotiated with us on a personal basis (as opposed to the above, which is open and transparent for all takers, but for a limited time only). Currently I have two to one Romney vs Alupa’s McCain or Huck. Nothing going on the Dems yet. UPDATE: Alupa has Hillary even odds for 20, Himay’s got Obama. This was a difficult one on which to agree…
Any takers on anything at all?

So, just to sum up:
If the Republicans win the election, I win 50.
If the Democrats win the election, Himay wins 50.
Side bet:
If Romney wins the nomination, Himay wins 40.
If McCain or Huck wins the nomination, I win 20.
As a side note: I like the fact that Himay included this in the sports Category. Hotness.
Through some tough negotiation and spit balling i’ll take Hillary over Obama for 20. Despite Edwards bailing and throwing support to Obama (which mark my words, will happen) i think i can see him giving a concession speech more than i can see Hillary giving one, so just for the viewers at home, that’s why i picked Hillary.
That and I’m not sure that Himay would have taken Hillary…

Can we start a fantasy Presidential Election League? That would be hot.
Here is the action I want (I’d like to know my odds first though):
Dems win overall.
R nomination - Guiliani
D nomination - Obama
Okay bstop, i’ll give you 25 against the Dems for the win.
I think that Himay has the others covered, so i’ll let her take your money there.
So jaime pointed me to this, I have been in the hole, Beth has been out of town, tends to happen.
How in the hell do you think the Republicans are going to win, I will take that action.
trev, i’ll mark you down for 25. any side action for nominees?
I think this may be a push after watching bytes from the debate. I’m thinking it’s going to be an Hillary/Obama ticket.
You’re insane. Just because the debate was fairly even-handed doesn’t mean they’ll buddy up.
we’ll see.
I would put $20 against Hillary accepting a VP position. Obama might, though.
I’m still pulling for Ron Paul, the smartest and kindest bigot in Texas.
i think that tuesday really was super. super duper. monsterously super, in fact.
we’re fucked.
