Steve Bullock and Heidi Heitkamp made me quite a bit of money. I nailed a 6 race parlay with a coworker on the ND and MT races.

I bet on "no" on the two MN ballot measures (gay marriage and voter ID). I feel bad about that one, since blank ballots are no votes. Easy money...

If Allen West loses, I'll make a little more. Maybe thats good, since I bet against Michele Bachmann too.

I bet on Romney to win VA, so that one hurt.

I also bet for Chip Cravaack, so I'm out there.

I bet against Arpaio's reelection, so that cost as well.

All in all, I really only won two (or three) bets, but it's enough to be very net positive.

Obama to win Florida +215

Obama to win Ohio -340

Obama to win the election -350

P.S. I am independent and do not like either candiate but thought there was value in each bet.

P.P.S. Rent paid for next month thanks to those wagers.

I don't think there are really independents. Just people who say they are.

I can only speak for myself. There are parts of both parties that I do not like so I call myself an independent.

Doesn't matter. Lost voting rights long time ago anyway.
