Mixing gambling with politics is something we have learned to expect from BetUS Online Casino. The online gambling site has become famous for recruiting the former Governor of Minnesota, Jesse Ventura, as their spokesperson. Diving into the realms of politics one again, the online gambling site is now offering online casinos players the opportunity to bet on the 2008 elections. When it comes to candidates, the front runner to win the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination is Hilary Clinton with 3-5 odds. Tied for second place are John Edwards and Bill Richardson with 4-1 odds.
As far as Republicans, the online gambling site gives Rudi Giuliani as a 1-2 shot of winning the nomination. Following in second place is the personable John McCain with 2-1 shot. Rounding up at third is Jeb Bush the brother of George Bush with 4-1 odds. Even though none of the name that were mentioned thus far has officially declared his/hers intention of running for president, it obviously hasn’t stopped the online gambling site from posting odds on the topic. If you compare the top two candidates from each party, it becomes apparent that the Republicans hold somewhat of an advantage.
Both Giuliani and McCain are widely popular among both Republicans and Democratic voters, which can’t be said for Clinton and Edwards. This is why the online casino regards Republicans as favorite to win the presidency once again in 2008 with 3-4 compared to 2-1 odds given to Decorates. Matt Ross, spokesperson for the online gambling site commented, “Regardless of the Republican Party's rightward shift and the Bernard Kerik fiasco, we feel that Americans still identify with Giuliani. Rudy is a clear favorite for the Republican nomination in 2008”.
