2010 US MIDTERM GOVERNOR ELECTION COMPLETE BETTING ODDS

We’ve been running through the odds on the senate and the outright betting for the 2010 US midterms and today we’ll be taking a gander at the gubernatorial elections this time out.
Popular UK bookmaker Victor Chandler has unveiled an impressive slate of odds on the senate and governor elections for the 2010 midterms but the really exciting aspect about it all is that they are allowing accumulator bets on the US Congressional elections. That’s right- you can back ridiculous accumulators to enhance your odds and offer up an even sharper payout. We’ll be bringing you our exclusive accumulator tip on the gubernatorial races at the end of this article.
First, let’s take a look at where everything stands at the moment, odds-wise.
Dan Malloy is the favourite to beat out Republican Tom Foley and you can back the Democrat at a 1/5 price tag while the challenger is trading at 10/3 in the Connecticut race. Malloy looks to have this one more or less sown up at the moment and if he can hold steady he will likely cruise to victory.
The Florida governor race is looking like a real toss-up at the moment. The bookies are giving a slight edge to Democrat Alex Sink, pricing him at odds-on with an 8/11 listing. Republican Rick Scott trades at an even money price.
The Georgia gubernatorial elections are tilted towards Republican Nathan Deal, with Victor Chandler setting a slim price of 1/6. Democrat challenger Roy Barnes is listed at 7/2 and, while he’s not completely out of it, he needs to begin making up ground right away.
Republican Bill Brady holds a solid 1/6 lead over Democrat Pat Quinn in the Illinois governor’s race. You can back Pat Quinn at 7/2 if you reckon he’s going to pull off an upset, but we’d advise you to hold on to your money at this point.
Democrat Mark Dayton is a solid 1/2 favourite to score a victory in the Minnesota Governor election and Republican Tom Emmer is trading at 6/4. Independent Tom Horner should probably just pack it in as he’s priced at 25/1 for an unlikely victory.
The race for Nevada’s governor is completely over with Brian Sandoval trading at an ultra-slim 1/50 for a victory over Democrat Rory Reid- who trades at 12/1. The fat lady looks to have sung.
There looks to be a bit of a dog-fight brewing in Rhode Island with Frank Caprio priced at 4/11 but Independent Lincoln Chaffee is offering up a stark challenge and the bookies price him at 2/1.Chaffee is in striking distance, but momentum will need to be firmly in his favour. Republican John Robitaille is spinning his wheels at 10/1.
Republican Susana Martinez is listed at a slim 2/7 price with Democratic challenger Diane Denish at a 5/2 listing in the race to be New Mexico’s governor.
Rick Perry looks a safe bet to win the race for Texas’ Governor and you can back him at a 1/5 price while Democrat Bill White is sitting at a 10/3 price. The Democrat needs a near-perfect performance over the next month to have any chance here.
Republican Scott Walker is available at a 1/5 listing with Victor Chandler while Tom Barrett, a Democrat, can be backed at 10/3 to become the next Governor of Wisconsin.
We’ve discussed the Meg Whitman vs Jerry Brown race in detail before and Brown’s odds continue to hold at 1/2 with Republican Meg Whitman drifting to 6/4.
Finally, Democrat John Hickenlooper looks to have the Colorado gubernatorial position sown up with a 1/10 price making him a firm favourite over Republican Dan Maes, who trades at 11/2.
If you’re looking to play all the favourites, you can back Hickenlooper x Brown x Walker x Perry x Caprio x Martinez x Sandoval x Dayton x Brady x Deal x Sink x Malloy on a one-line accumulator at a very solid 19.05/1! That means a £100 stake would pay back a return of £1905.29. If you want to stay away from the Florida race, which is the closest one, you can take Alex Sink off the ticket and still get odds of 11.03/1 which means a £100 bet pays out £1103.24.
