Odds For 2012 President Already Posted

Just as most sportsbooks release Super Bowl odds for the upcoming season the day after completion of the latest NFL finale, BetUs Sportsbook is among the first to release odds on the 2012 election.

While most sports bettors are betting with the samurai warrior of sports handicappers Joe Duffy’s picks on Broncos-Browns, Virginia Tech-Maryland or TCU-Utah, long term bettors are investing in politics.

Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney are the co-favorites to get the Republican nomination at +400. Bobby Jindal, who some say is already beginning his run is next with +700, the same odds assigned to Mike Huckabee and Tim Pawlenty.

Pro gambling candidate Ron Paul is +5000. Conspicuous by their absence in the GOP odds are Condoleezza Rice and anti-gambling zealot Bill Frist. General David Petraeus at +4000 is the most intriguing choice.

Says Grandmaster sports handicapper Joe Duffy, who gained international acclaim for his pinpoint political handicapping, “With the surge quietly working beyond expectations in Iraq, Petraeus could easily jump to the head of the class.”

Duffy also adds though that the last time a liberal Democrat had such an overwhelming majority in both houses, a conservative Republican Ronald Reagan took the White House in a landslide, making Palin an understandable favorite.

Left wing blogs must think Palin is the favorite because even after Obama’s historic victory, they are focusing on reports Palin thought Africa is a country not a continent.

The presumed incumbent Barack Obama is of course the overwhelming favorite from the Democratic side to be the 2012 nominee at -700. He is followed by Joe Biden at +400 and Hillary Clinton at +900.

BetUs also offers proposition bets on whether Obama becomes a father again in his first term, his possible impeachment or resignation and what happens first: Second Amendment is repealed, full troop withdrawal from Iraq, Afghanistan, or online gambling is legalized in the United States.

OffshoreInsiders.com Takes the Bettors View of Broncos-Browns

Here is the official betting preview of the Denver Broncos and Cleveland Browns for Week 10 compiled by the staff of OffshoreInsiders.com. The big story is Brady Quinn makes his debut as starting QB for the Browns, replacing the struggling Derek Anderson.

Denver is 4-4 straight up and horrible 1-7 in the back pocket. In fact, they covered week 1 and have failed seven straight since.  They’ve gone over all three road games. Cleveland is 3-5 straight up but 5-3 against the spread, including 4-1 their last five.

After averaging 38 points per game in a 3-0 start, Denver has failed to score 20 points in each of their last five games. Part of the problem is that defenses can key totally on the pass as Michael Pittman, Andre Hall and Selvin Young have all been out at RB.

Denver has won 18-of-20 straight up in the series and 8-of-9 in Cleveland. However, the Broncos have horrific numbers on defense, allowing 5.0 yards per carry against teams normally allowing 4.1 and 7.3 passing yards per attempt against teams normally allowing 6.7. That comes out to allowing foes to get .7 yards per play above their normal average.

Cleveland’s numbers on defense as also well below average allowing 4.7 yards per rush to teams normally getting 4.2, 7.1 yards per pass to 6.3 and 5.8 yards per play against teams normally allowing 5.2.

Cleveland has lost the net yardage battle in five of their eight games this year and each time by 53 yards or more.

As far as the NFL injury report for bettors, Browns starting FB Lawrence Vickers is doubtful. Another key blocker starting LG Eric Steinback is doubtful, and Cleveland‘s starting DT Shaun Rogers is a game time decision.

The aforesaid Selvin Young for Denver is a game time decision. Their TE Tony Scheffler did practice a bit on Wednesday and is also a game time decision. Starting weakside LB D.J. Williams is out, while middle LB Nate Webster should play despite ribs injury. Denver‘s secondary is depleted as neither CB Champ Bailey nor FS Marlon McCree.

Northern Illinois-Ball State Sports Gambling 411

They are 13-3 their last 16 against teams with a winning record. The Huskies have covered 8-of-10 overall and are 36-16 after getting less than 170 yards passing last game.

The Cardinals’ smallest margin of victory has been 12 points, but NIU has not lost by more than four. Their three losses were by a combined 11 points. In fact, they have never trailed by more than 11 points this season.

The Huskies have yet to beat a team with a winning mark. Their last four games were against teams a combined 11-23 straight up. For those who bet quarters, note that the Cardinals have scored just six points combined in the first quarter of their last three games and NIU has a better defense than each of those teams according to Bob Warner of Lines-Maker.com
