some observations on lines as we approach the closing bell...
within the past couple hours...
Obama has moved from (-305) to (-375) Obama to win CO. has moved from (-130) to (-155) Obama to win IA. has moved from (-255) to (-280) Obama to win OH. has moved from (-250) to (-300) Obama to win VA. has moved from (-120) to (-130)
Obama to win FL. has held steady at (+200) Obama to win WI. has dropped from (-435) to (-415)
some have suggested that the money moving Obama odds up is square late money... but i would think if there is sharp money out there (presuming the "sharp" money is on Romney)... shouldn't these lines be coming down below 300 and even into the 250 range or lower?
shouldn't lines on Ohio, Colorado and Virginia be dropping? all i hear on FoxNews is how Romney has so much momentum... New Gingrich said Romney will win Ohio by 6 POINTS!!!!
i guess Newt Gingrich doesn't have money to wager on such a prediction... because that sort of prediction (if accurate) should equate to a line of (-1000) or so in favor of Romney to win Ohio...

with less than an hour to go, the action is heating up!
Iowa back up to (-320) Ohio back up to (-360)....... Colorado up to (-160) Wisconsin up to (-435) Florida drops to (+210) for Obama (-260) for Romney
actually having trouble keeping up with the moves at this point... Iowa and Ohio jumped twice just while i was trying to type tis post... amidst all of the state action, still no change in the overall election line at (-375)...

hmmmm... now that we've reached 12am, the Bookmaker message now suddenly says closing is 12 noon... lmao... i think they just sucked in some wagers from people thinking the betting window was about to close...
anyway...
Iowa up to (-340) Florida down to (+190)
guess BM isn't closing the windows afterall... very tricky!

Colorado Obama -150 Florida Romney -240 Iowa Obama -345 Minn Obama -900 NC Romney -410 Ohio Obama -350 Penn Obama -600 Virginia Obama -150 Wisc Obama -420
Virginia is the confusing one for us bettors. At this point the line suggests there has been a big shift from Romney to Obama...but Romney focused a ton of attention and money on that state. If that line movement is true, I'll be interested to see why.
LOL...CNN had the first ballots cast in a town called Ditch Notch, New Hampshire...population 10. Everyone voted and they counted right there...it was a tie 5-5...lmao...now as a joke they are having "experts" say what they think that vote means.

good point, Tilt... and imo, Obama can't win this election if he loses Virginia...
as i see it, this is coming down to 3 states...
first, as a caveat, Romney MUST win Florida... if he loses Florida, it's over... 0% chance Romney wins the election without Florida...
so let's start with the assumption that Romney will win Florida... as i see it, that means the election comes down to Virginia, Ohio and Colorado...
i do not believe Iowa, Wisconsin or Minnesota can be stolen by Romney... some might disagree, but i don't think they are in touch with reality here...
if these assumptions are correct, it makes this race very simple...
ROMNEY HAS TO WIN OHIO, VIRGINIA AND COLORADO TO WIN THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE!
so... can he do it? can he get those 3 states? according to oddsmakers, he is an underdog to win ANY of the 3... and he is a BIG underdog to win Ohio...
basically, it is do or die in Florida, Virginia, Colorado and Ohio... the parlay odds on Romney winning these 4 states is roughly (+1300), if you use the individual state odds from Bookmaker...

I remember back in May the Wisconsin recall election of Gov Scott Walker was said to be a preview of the November presidential election...Walker won..,
A whole lot of effort by the Democrat party and the unions went into that recall...Wisconsin has shifted..

I think many people fail to realize how diverse Virginia has become given the growth of Northern VA into the D.C. metro area. This is one of the fastest growing regions in the past few years and is made up largely of government employees and military. I believe Virginia is now too urban of a state to turn back red at this point.

It actually was/is 12:00 P.M. election day (9 A.M. pacific).
If the past is any indication, you can get some value on the line movements. States broke to Kerry and Gore in 2004 and 2000 respectively while the national line stayed pretty much the same.
I still love FL for Romney and played more this morning (although thought it was going to go up) and VA for Romney as well.
Wis, Iowa, and Ohio for Obama.
