On November 6th, 2012, the 57th presidential race will culminate with voters running to the polls to cast their vote for who will be the next president. To coincide with this presidential race, 2012 Presidential Betting Odds have been issued to give bettors or the politically minded the ability to place money on who they think will succeed in the running. Many of the online sportsbooks out there are currently holding odds on who is going to win this election, with some surprising and not so surprising names on the ticket. Some money can definitely be won from Political Betting Odds, though bettors will have to go into this election with enough knowledge of the process and candidates in order to win some money.

Update: President Obama was able to win re-election last night versus Mitt Romney. For oddsmakers, it didn't really come as a surprise... at times yesterday Obama was better than a 1 to 4 favorite to win a second term and he did just that. Unfortunately, with odds like those, no one got rich off of Obama's win considering that a $1 wager paid $.25 ($1.25 total).

And, on Monday we posted odds for the race with a handicapped electoral vote total which is still in question because most sources have not awarded Florida's 29 electoral votes yet. As it stands current, Obama leads the electoral vote with a total of 303 votes to Romney's 206. The handicapped line for that wager was 90.5 electoral votes. Just by doing some simple math, you see that Obama currently holds a 97 vote lead which would be good enough to cover the spread/handicap BUT, those 29 electoral votes could end up swinging that wager back in favor of Romney. The handicapped bet was the only Obama wager that actually paid more than what was wagered... Obama was getting +220 payouts to win by 91 or more electoral votes which means a $1 wager paid $2.20 ($3.20 total).
