Ron Paul The Second Favorite Republican to Win at Bodog Life
Online gambling site Bodog Life, which for some time now has featured 2008 US Presidential candidate with double digit odds, now has Ron Paul with second best odds among Republicans to become the next President, only after Rudy Giuliani. Despite Mike Huckabee's huge poll showing in recent weeks, he had only 9-1 odds. In another shocker, Bodog Life becomes the first online gambling site to move Hillary Clinton back down into the plus side with 4-1 odds or a potential payout of $4 for every $1 bet.

"For anyone who thinks Hillary Clinton will become the next President of the United States, as many people do, these are the best odds in well over nine months," commented Gambling911.com Senior Editor, Payton O'Brien, who discussed the Hillary Clinton campaign and her odds of winning in the September issue of Chief Executive Magazine.
The biggest payout on Paul can be found at BetUS.com for gamblers in North America where odds can be gotten for 14 to 1 or a $1400 windfall for every $100 bet. For international gamblers, PaddyPower would pay out $1800 for every $100 bet. American punters cannot place wagers at PaddyPower, which is based out of Dublin, Ireland.
The Gambling911.com website has been abuzz all day long with Ron Paul inquires thanks to Sunday's much anticipated money bomb.
"I say he'll (Ron Paul) will take in more than $10 million on Sunday," commented one Ron Paul supporter, who said she will not be betting on this event.
"Slowly as the crucial primary votes come closer and closer, thanks to his growing legions of supporters working the Internet and street corners, Ron Paul is becoming a name to reckon with in the Republican nomination race," writes Andrew Malcolm in his LA Times Political blog.
"Ron Paul is gaining more national recognition by the media, with voters and in the polls, where he's climbed from zero to nearly double-digit percentages, not necessarily because of his distaste for foreign entanglements and his eagerness to exit Iraq, and not necessarily because of his plan to dismantle much of the federal government, get rid of the Federal Reserve, honor the Constitution more and return to the gold standard.
"Ron Paul is gaining more recognition because he's gaining more money, many millions of dollars in donations, much of it in small amounts."
Oddsmakers have Ron Paul pegged to take in $6 million on Sunday December 16, 2007 alone, pushing him well over the 4th quarter goal of $12 million set out prior to October. At press time he was only a half million away from making that goal.
Americans Overseas Can Donate
Gambling911.com Ron Paul beat reporter, Jennifer Reynolds, reports that even those living overseas can donate towards the Sunday money bomb.
"Up until now, if you did not have an American address you could not donate to the official Ron Paul website online at
www.ronpaul2008.com There was some kind of problem with who knows what, but just in the nick of time the folks at the Ron Paul campaign have ironed out the issues and now overseas Americans can donate to Ron Paul online just like the folks at home. This is great news coming on the heels of the what hopes to be the biggest single donation day in history."
Foreign search inquiries for Ron Paul are quite heavy in fact. In a 10 minute time span, Gambling911.com registered searches for Ron Paul coming in from Finland, Japan, Germany and a whole lot from up north in Canada (different provinces).
The December 16 date is significant as it's the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party.
Why The Boston Tea Party Anniversary?
The Boston Tea Party was an act of direct action by the American colonists against Great Britain in which they destroyed many crates of tea bricks on ships in Boston Harbor. The incident, which took place on Thursday, December 16, 1773, has been seen as helping to spark the American Revolution.
The TeaParty07 website, which started the 24-hour fund raising drives, draws a comparison. The site claimed to have over 32,000 pledges at press time Saturday evening.
This December 16th, American citizens will dump millions of dollars into the Ron Paul presidential campaign to protest the oppressive and unconstitutional inflation tax - which has enabled a flawed foreign policy, a costly war and the sacrificing
of our liberties here at home.
Supporters of Ron Paul point out that money does not have to be donated through the TeaParty07 website, which has no direct affiliation with the Paul campaign.
