Since the last article was apparently not welcome by a certain deceased Greek philosopher, the wager pool has been closed early. If you'd like to remind me who you bet on, please post it below, Thanks. I will not be re-posting the prior article for fear of receiving additional famous points. However, info on all the candidates is below if interested.
FINAL ODDS
Total Wager Pool- $49,500
Blank Keating- 2:1
Technician- 12:1
Speedcat McNasty- 5:1
cccimelihmessiccc- 425:1
Thedillpickl- 3:1
Blank Keating Starting Odds- 2:1
Considered an underdog before his Union with Marxus as his Vice President, Blank Keating has emerged as the favorite to win the Presidency. With two top five parties in his column and running as the sitting Vice President, Keating looks like a strong contender to win the Presidency in a field void of experienced politicians. This has proved to be the only viable ticket containing serious civilian candidates in this race.
Technician Starting Odds- 4:1
He is the strongest threat to Keating and was considered the front runner until the surprise union of two opposing parties. While the AMP is considered stronger than the Federalists and Libertarians, their combined forces could overcome his support base. He is also an unknown political quantity and will need overwhelming military support to make up this deficit. His choice of Sir Valaro Volcrum as Vice President also cements this as a clear military ticket. He is also supported by three minor parties.
Speedcat McNasty Starting Odds- 10:1
Considered the early front-runner, McNasty made a surprise exit from the race and has quit the game. Despite this, the USWP Party President failed to pick a new candidate. The sheer size and voting power of this party makes McNasty a threat even without running a serious campaign. It is not outside of the realm of possibility that he could pull off a surprise win. Three minor parties are also in his column.
cccimelihmessiccc Starting Odds- 25:1
Despite the decline of INCI in recent weeks in the eUS, they still regularly exchange places with the USWP for the position of largest party. In a split field there is a possibility that their candidate could win. However, it is unlikely that Americans will vote for a Turkish candidate so it is a longshot. The language barrier and growing distrust of INCI is likely to see their candidate considered a PTO threat should he take a lead at any point.
Thedillpickl Starting Odds- 100:1
By far the most unlikely to win the Election, his party is considerably weaker than the others supporting his rivals. It would take a first rate campaign and an eMiracle for him to emerge as the next President of the eUnited States. He is supported by one minor party.

First. Also, I put $4000 on thedillpickl.
Voted!!!!!
Technician for the win !!!
He is a major military figure with common sence and im sure is fully able to actually run and win conventional battles and wars.Which is what we need to pull us out this.
We need someone with experience in office that has a diverse cabinet to help lead.
Thedillpickl FTW
I placed $10,000 USD on myself.
Thedillpickl. You never sent me the money, so the bet never was counted.
i place 1000 imaginary dollars on thedillpickl
: D
Go blank Keating
Hail EUSA
If technician wins He will turn the whole EUSA as a playtoy Battlefield.
@PTH, I never welsh on a bet. I also am not fool hardy enough to send you $10,000. I will send it to a neutral third party if you wish.
Thedillpickl. $10,000 will knock your odds down further but go ahead. I am not going to steal your money. If you insist you can send it to someone we BOTH trust. Send it to a member of my party leadership then.

Blank Keating
Didn't realize you needed money sent first because the original post didn't state that lol. Donated $7500 to you per your private message request.
$5000 - Blank Keating
$2500 - Thedillpickl
the candidate with the best odds happens to be the one you openly endorse. go figure.
anyway, i've waited too long to see a pool on potential prez candidates. awesome! i'd gladly take part if it wasn't run by the guy who also got booted from a poker website. what was that all about? can someone remind me?
Vote for Integrity. Vote for Leadership. Vote for Technician.
Hey SPC91X....
He has the best odds because he was bet the most heavily. The odds are based on statistical percentages of bets using a standard formula.
Also, yes, I was booted, along with the ENTIRE AMERICAN POPULATION because the FBI indited them for all these ridiculous things.
