What the overseas gamblers think about tonight's caucus
GAMBLERS PREDICTION:

1 - Obama,
2 - Clinton,
3 - Edwards

AND

1 - Huckabee,
2 - Romney,
3 - McCain


Obama is roughly a 70% favorite to win, Hillary at ~22%, and Edwards at ~12%. Here's Obama's graph:



Huckabee, after a long, slow climb, dipped - but now he's also around 70%, and Romney at around 30%. Here's Huckabee's graph:



Of course, gamblers can always err, but the aggregate of many thousands of dollars wagered is a pretty good indicator most of the time.

1. I bet a trifecta of Clinton Edwards Obama

had Huckaberry bet months ago, good odds back then, so not too worried about losing the bet on the Dem side.
