from my buddy....

It is currently 400am at my hotel in Copenhagen.....cant even explain how incredible the day was. Was on a bus this afternoon on my way to the Chicago 2016 press conference and was sitting next to athletes that have probably combined for over 100 gold medals. Michael Johnson is leading a 2 mile run around the city that starts in 5 hours.....Chicago Blues Party later on tonight in downtown Copenhagen.

olympics would be pretty sweet since im still young. It would also help clean up the only bad parts about chicago(south side,transit,highways congestion) prob would bring a ton of jobs especially construction and police which im in

 

[goblue12]

Doha, Qatar (now eliminated) had a better evaluation score than Rio. Seeing how there has never been an Olympic games in South America due to security concerns / funding, throwing any cash on Rio is a bad idea.

Throw cash on Tokyo and Madrid if you've got to bet it.

CRIS has some bad odds. These are odds at intertops.

Chicago -125
Madrid +1100
Rio de Janeiro +150
Tokyo +800

Just got Madrid and Tokyo for $110 each.

What ridiculous odds.

These two venues had by far the highest two shortlist evaluation scores.

Chicago 7.0
Madrid 8.1
Rio de Janeiro 6.3
Tokyo 8.3

 

[Cusipz]

evaluation scores mean very little when it comes to the final vote. Politics swings the voters who have no real horse in the race (African, etc.).

It will be very close between Rio and Chicago. Anti-US sentiment and historical signifigance of first South American games should carry the day.

Actually your odds are ridiculously bad. The market for this is made at Intrade. Tokyo is roughly 5.0 (20 to 1) and Madrid is roughly 3.6 (30 to 1). These cities have virtually zero chance. It's between Chicago and Rio.

 

[BillyWaltersJr+]

FYI, CRIS is no longer offering odds on this. They replaced it with this the other day:

HOW LONG WILL LAMAR ODOM MARRIAGE LAST

1-3 WEEKS +165
1-5 MONTHS +120
6-11 MONTHS +200
1-2 YEARS +300
2+ YEARS +200

How do I bet at InTrade? If I wanted 30-1 what would I do?

open an account there and buy some shares at the current price.

when the event closes the shares will be worth $1 each if your selection wins or $0 if your selection loses.

Shares in "ASIA" for example are currently trading for between 5cents and 6.9cents.

Shares in "Europe" are currently trading for between 4.8 and 4.9 cents.

i think obama going over there will get it here.

ive been to rio, olympics could be big for them, could put them on the map like south africa has for the world cup. i dont think rio has the ability to pull off an olympics though, maybe in 10-20 years.

i think obama going over there means it's already a done deal. Don't think he'd go if it wasn't.

Thank you.

I am in on Tokyo and Madrid.

I'm guessing people are just trading with Rio and Chicago - they're not actually betting them to win there.

 

[treece]

I'm rooting against Chicago. Olympics in another country would be wonderful.

 

[Santo]

It's a pain in the ass on the ground in Copenhagen, Bella Center is only a couple of metro stops from where I work, so I'm expecting chaos the next couple of days.

 

[SportSavant]

oprah and mrs obama now over there hammering home their city.

will be shocked at this point if chicago dont get it.

 

[SportSavant]

hmmmm share price on chicago has dropped to 5.7... i find that strange.

hopefully it dont need much as i need chicago at this point.
