Georgia GOP Governor Primary
I have a bet for you guys for any of you who bet on politics. Now this is a long shot but from what I have seen over at peoplespundit.locals.com I think it's worth the gamble.
First off, I don't care for Kemp or Purdue at all so this is nothing personal (I don't even live in Georgia). But right now the media is all over Kemp winning this primary. Over at predictit.org is where I placed my bet and Purdue is currently trading at 9 cents per share (Kemp at 91 cents).
We are weeks away from this race but if Kemp doesn't get to 50% of the vote and it goes to a run off he is toasted and Purdue takes the race.
According to Baris over at People's Pundit (go check them out) he just polled the state and right now Kemp is not getting over 50%. If the people who say they will turn out and vote for Kemp actually do then he most likely gets over 50%. But he's relying on people who have yet to vote. Rural Georgia is pulling hard for Purdue.
Trump obviously wants Kemp out so I wouldn't be surprised if we see a rally by him to help boost Purdue.
Reason I like this bet is we can get a +1000 return if it hits, BUT honestly I'm betting that some news breaks these next few weeks and the polls start to shift where Purdue is gaining and maybe instead of trading at 9 cents per share he jumps to 30 cents per share and I can cash out before the vote even is counted at a 3:1 return!
Anyways, it's a big gamble but the fact that we can cash out at anytime I think gives us a huge edge because Purdue isn't going to fall any lower until the vote starts counting.
