Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John McCain and Rudolph Giuliani respectively are the current favorites to win the US Presidential election according to one of the European sportsbooks Ladbrokes.

Hillary Clinton is the slight favorite at 5/4, followed closely by Obama at 2/1, John McCain at 4/1 and Giuliani at 8/1. Surging Republican Mike Huckabee is 12/1, potential third-party candidate Michael Bloomberg is 16/1, and Mitt Romney at 20/1.

Pro-choice when it comes to betting online candidate Ron Paul is at 66/1. Also-rans include “two-Americas” John Edwards and Fred Thompson each at 100/1. Disgraced potential Green Party candidate Cynthia McKinney does not even show up on the radar screen.

Our preferred online casino is NewBodog but they currently do not have updated POTUS odds. Republican voters proved sports betting expert Joe Duffy correct when he correctly stated, “A comeback by the Arizona Senator would surprise few Presidential historians,” when we previously previewed the potential Republican and Democratic nominees.

Regardless of the nominee, Democrats are heavily favored to take the White House at 2/5 while the GOP is 7/4. This is quite surprising considering the Democratic controlled Congress has approval ratings double digits below the Republican President George Bush.

It was only a question of by how much. The 16-0 New England Patriots are the overwhelming favorites to win the 2008 Super Bowl. Bill Belichick, Tom Brady, Randy Moss and company are probative -139 favorites to win Super Bowl XLII.

The defending Super Bowl champion Indianapolis Colts are next at +550. While we could find no credible NFL or sports betting expert who believes anyone other than New England should be the favorite, several agree they are far from a lock.

“If Marvin Harrison can get even 80-percent healthy, the Colts will be a very live dog.” says Cy McCormick of MasterLockLine.com

The Dallas Cowboys are next at +685, though it is unknown at this time if Jessica Simpson will attend any games in her pink Tony Romo jersey. Green Bay, in Brett Favre’s sixth annual “might be his last hurrah” checks in at +950.

Two years ago, Pittsburgh became the first team road wild card squad in win the Super Bowl. The Jaguars are +1900 to do the same. Ironically, they open up in Pittsburgh, but the Steele City boys get no respect at +5000.

Mike Godsey, the top NFL betting expert at GodsTips.com, believes the Chargers are without question the best dark horse at +2004. “They no longer have the worst postseason coach in NFL history (Marty Schottenheimer) and the fact Norv Turner underused LaDainian Tomlinson early in the year may make Norv look like a mad genius”.

Godsey adds, “Ala Jake Delhomme, Philip Rivers can be feast or famine, but he can carry a team when he’s on.”

Rounding out the AFC, the Tennessee Titans are very long shots at +11250. The NFC teams that oddsmakers give little chance to are the Seattle Seahawks at +4243, Tampa Bay Buccaneers +7500, the other Manning, Eli and the New York Giants at +7000 and the Washington Redskins at +6613.

Stevie Vincent of BetOnSports360.com, add that “If a riverboat gambler likes riding the hot hand, he may want to take a long look at Washington” a team that played much better when Todd Collins took over at quarterback.
