Ron Paul Presidential Odds Slashed in Half

Following a groundswell of bets coming in on 2008 US Presidential candidate, Ron Paul, Sportsbook.com has reacted by slashing his odds to win in half.

The decision follows publication of an article on the Gambling911.com website yesterday entitled Online Gambling: Don't Underestimate Ron Paul and featured Gambling911.com revelations that Ron Paul has received more search queries than both Hillary Clinton and Rudolph Giuliani combined.

The article itself attracted a few thousand readers and was the single most popular article to appear on the Gambling911.com website on Monday. It is the most read political betting related article within a single day period to date.

"So many Paul stories are getting pushed up on Digg that Diggers think there's a conspiracy or rigging behind them all," writes David Weigel of Reason.com.

Three months ago, Reason's Weigel pointed out that only weeks after people (like me) complained that Paul was being kept off the mighty Pajamas Media 2008 straw poll, he's on it and winning it, with a six point lead over runner-up Rudy Giuliani.

"So maybe there's not a web conspiracy to promote Paul. Maybe (1) the other Republican candidates are gobsmackingly lame and (2)lots of libertarians use this fancy "internet" contraption."

Ron Paul still offers great value at Sportsbook.com. Two weeks ago, the 2008 Presidential candidate was overlooked on the betting odds menu. In only a 24 hour period, Paul's odds have been slashed from 200 to 1 to 100 to 1. That still translates into a $10,000 payout for every $100 bet.

Ron Paul is a strong advocate of one's right to gamble online.

This is not a surprise that Ron Paul is getting noticed. He's exactly what we need at this time.

I wouldn't gamble on him just yet, but I think he's certainly now in the top 3 of the candidates.

We need to make him #1 by going to GOP meetings, handing out literature, calling talk radio, etc. The momentum is there. Now we need to capitalize on it.

P.S. Check out my new Ron Paul cards at www.LibertyCard.org. It's another great way to get the message out.

Awesome! I agree about all of the action items you mention. Also writing in to newspapers, as there was an article about the GOP "top 3" in the Sunday San Diego Union-Tribune that did not even mention Ron Paul! My meetup group and I gave them hell! :)

I'll mention your liberty cards at my next meetup, thanks!
