State of the Union games

Here are the odds for the State of the Union to be held January 31:

1. While applause indicates support, standing ovations show enthusiastic support. For President George W. Bush's 2006 State of the Union address, how many standing ovations will he receive?

* 0-15 Standing Ovations at 5/1 odds
* 16-30 Standing Ovations at 4/1 odds
* 31-40 Standing Ovations at 3/1 odds
* 41-50 Standing Ovations at 5/2 odds
* 51-60 Standing Ovations at 3/1 odds
* 61-70 Standing Ovations at 6/1 odds
* 70 or more Standing Ovations at 8/1 odds

2. During President George W. Bush's 2006 State of the Union address, how many times will the President say the following words: Iraq ? Evil ? Patriot Act ?

* For the word Iraq, 92% of betting action is on the President using the word "Iraq" 16 or more times at 7/2 odds
* For the word Evil, 80% of betting action is on the President using the word "evil" 0-2 times at 2/1 odds
* For the words Patriot Act, 55% of betting action is on the President using the words "Patriot Act" 6-9 times at 3/2 odds

And of course, there is always the Bush drinking game, although I'm pretty tired of picking the same words all the time.

By the way, today is my first of many 29th birthdays.
