Obama is the one to beat? That's what the odds say

Barack Obama won big in Hawaii's caucus and Wisconsin's primaries on Tuesday, swinging the odds for the presidental race over to him. Some of the pundits are saying it may be likely that Obama will take the March 4th primaries in Ohio and Texas.

What does that mean for the odds? Well, if you'd already bet on Barack, you might be able to get a little cash, and if you haven't bet on Hilary and still think she's going to win, there's a little cash for you there, too (if she wins).

Even though Mike Huckabee hasn't officially dropped out of the race yet, he doesn't have any odds up for winning the presidency at betUS. They have Hillary Clinton at +600, John McCain at +150, and Barack Obama at -160. With those odds, it's a John McCain/Barack Obama race.

But the March 4th primaries are looking like they'll be the deciding factor. The odds could swing back to Hilary's favor if she takes Ohio and Texas.
