Does anyone know what the Vegas line is on the presidential election?

http://www.intrade.com/

you can trade it there

Bump

I want to know as well

That's an interesting site. I couldn't find the general line though.

Heres the odds from the top 10 online betting sites:

Republicans 5/6 5/6 5/6 5/6 5/6 5/6 0.88/1 5/6 5/6

Democrats 5/6 5/6 5/6 5/6 5/6 5/6 5/6 1.04/1 5/6 5/6


and heres a more real-time chart of the future contracts with republicans pulling away.

It is not legal to bet on the pres. election in Vegas therefore there are no Vegas odds. Some offshore sports books have it at -110 both ways so they see it as a toss up. You would wager 110.00 to win 100.00 and they get the 10% (juice)

You can buy/sell the stock futures at Intrade by different propositions. Bid price= what you can sell shares for. Ask price=what you can buy shares for

On GFY when you ask a question you get an answer. Thanks for the detailed response. Do you know why it isn't legal in Vegas?
