Morning Line
In case you were curious: a just-passing-through visit to Ladbrokes yields the following:
OUTRIGHT: Black Eagle 1:5 against, PG 10:3 against.
Black Eagle at 370+ EV is favorite among all outcomes, at 2:1.
The Geezer is the underdog in Florida and Ohio (13:8 in both), Nevada (2:1), Virginia (9:4), New Hampshaah (3:1), Wisconsin (9:2), Michigan, New Mexico and Pennsylvania (5:1), Minnesoda (6:1, ya!), and Iowa (8:1). Barry? Slight dog in Indiana (pegged at even money, with the juice built into Geezer’s odds, on 8:11 against). Flip those numbers for Missouri and North Carolina, with PG being a slight dog there.
Not a lot of value bets there. But, then again, Brits will bet (and lose money to the house) on anything.
Entertainment value only, people. (Which means it ain’t worth that much. Just saying — drunken English punters are betting what’s left of the house on Hopey.) Also: betting on politics here in the states is kinda sorta illegal. Plus I wouldn’t trust off-shore betting houses as far as I can throw a pair of dice.
I suspect PG would take that action.
As to why I’m posting at this late hour (for a weekday). Can’t sleep do to a massive headache.
