Sportbook.com updated election odds

7 November 2006

WASHINGTON, DC – (PRESS RELEASE) -- Political gamblers at Sportsbook.com seem less confident in a Republican majority Senate. Today almost 63 per cent of the money is going to the Republican line compared to almost 88 per cent that headed there last week. Meanwhile, bettors haven't really changed their view that Democrats will take a majority of the House seats with almost 73 per cent of the money bet on a Democrat victory, down marginally from 75 per cent last week.

According to the latest odds at Sportsbook.com, the Democrats are -450 to win the House and +200 to gain control of the Senate. Republicans are +300 to retain control over the House and -280 to retain the Senate. With Americans heading to the polls tomorrow (Tuesday) latest polls continue to show Democrats sure to pick up lots of seats - but will they get the magic 15 needed to gain control? Many of the tight races could fall to Republicans with their vaunted 'get out the vote machine', so there is plenty of uncertainty to present a worthy challenge for political gamblers.

The Senate race is intense. Of the 33 Senate seats up for election on November 7th, most are expected to stay in the hands of the incumbent party. Among 14 key races described below are the ingredients for a Republican or Democratic Senate majority. The Democrats need a net gain of six seats to declare victory.
