    With all this huffin and puffin about betting this and that, you guys should go take your action to intrade.com. At least people there put their money where their mouth is. And if you're a Romney supporter, you can triple your money at current prices.

    I don't get how people here presume that just because they believe something that it's the popular view. Personally I have no clue what will happen.

    I only place bets with people i know and trust. There are several people on cf.net who meet both criteria. You are not among them.

    Intrade is garbage. The volume is still microscopic so any large order doesn't get filled so the most you can make is a few hundred if you're lucky.

    I'm as un-PC as the next guy, but this....?

    Nothing like demeaning the intelligence of an entire race.

    Then you need to quit (a) sniffing farts (b) watching Sean Hannity.

    I am curious but what do you base that on?

    I think a Romney win is possible but nothing I have seen says that Romney would win going a way with it. Even accepting Rasmussen numbers it would still be a close race. Heck accepting Romney's own analysis of 47% won't support gives Obama a pretty big base to build off of.

    I would base it on the fact that in 2007 Obama gave that speech that Tucker Carlson released in full.

    Shocking stuff!

    The back slapping libaral cod ray would call out losers who wouldn't honor bets.

    Or maybe you're afraid Clutch would enforce bets involving 'self-imposed' exiles?


    Tbh, that last answer would make CF lifer here think twice about betting.

    Coward. I didn't expect you to. Why lose your trolling gig in D&D? Then life here would have no meaning for you. What a sad caricature of a human being you are here. I just hope you don't resemble your online persona in "real life." That would be unspeakably sad.

    for someone who spends their time "ignoring" me you seem strangely obsessed with making a meaningless bet.

    why is it so important to you? what do you think winning the bet proves?

    Balls you say?!?!?!

    You twerp. Put your mouth where your balls are and take my bet of name calling.

    Again I'll state, if Romney win you cease the name calling for a year. If Obama wins, I'll do the same.

    (and yes, we still have the C-note to CF bet)

    It should not surprise anyone that basso lacks the courage of his convictions.
