The intrade versus other bookies imbalance still seems to be there. It is too late for anyone without an intrade account in the US but I opened one half an hour ago and bought 28 shares at a price of $7.07 each - in other words a probability of Obama winning of 70.7% or put differently a return of 41.4% in less than 24 hours. I think anyone who trusts in Obama being very likely to be winning should do this, and furthermore they should do it on InTrade.

If I had money then I would have bought a few thousand dollars worth. I know there are lots of dopers with money so you should definitely do this.

I saw somebody write somewhere, Twitter maybe, that one or two deep-pocketed Romney booksters have been trying like mad to keep his percentage over 30% today.
