"Betting" on Kerry to win...literally

[AspenRose]

I guess you can bet on anything these days!

"With six months before America votes on the next US president, we thought it would now be a good time to begin taking a serious look at the betting, and attempt to pick out a long term bet to add to our portfolio.

By taking a financial interest now, it should make the endless news features on the US Presidential election all the more bearable.

According to firms across the board, George Bush is the clear favourite to retain his position as Commander in Chief for another four years. The best price any bookmaker is prepared to offer is 8/11 by William Hill.

Attempting to emulate Bill Clinton (remove a Bush from the Whitehouse) is John Kerry. For those who know little about the Democratic candidate, Kerry is a highly decorated navy captain as well as a distinguished prosecutor, and Senator in his fourth term.

The advice is to therefore to treat yourself to the 11/8 on John Kerry to become the next President of the United States of America. It is unlikely these odds shall become too much longer and in fact should shorten as the election draws closer."
