Presidential Odds

The betting line on the race for the Presidency has been very active lately. Today Kerry closed the gap a bit (maybe due to the Red Sox big win last night?). Anyway - today the line Bush -$185 and Kerry +$155 (meaning you would have to risk $185 on Bush to win $100 or risk just $100 to win $155 on Kerry). Yesterday the line was Bush -$200 and Kerry +160. Tuesday the line was Bush -$170 and Kerry +$140. The day before the line was Bush -$155 and Kerry +$125.

I think today's bump for Kerry was more of a isolated event - the trend is definitely for Bush.

Go Red Sox!

Go Bush!
