 Point-Spreads.com is recommending that all readers go out and fill up their gas tanks before they announce the winner of the Iranian Presidential Election results this weekend. If Mir Hossein Mousavi does not win the Iranian Presidential Election, their could be riots in the streets of Tehran. Mousavi is a 11 to 10 odds underdog to win the Iranian Presidential Elections.Before the Iranian Presidential Election results are announced, Mousavi has announced during campaigning this week he would engage the United States in diplomacy, while the hard liner President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad continues to talk tough against the West. The political betting odds makers at internet sportsbook BetUS.com has made the President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad the 10 to 13 favorite over Mousavi. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) fears social unrest from the youth of the country which widely back Mousavi. The head of the IRGC political bureau stated: “Any move in line with a velvet revolution in Iran will be crushed at its inception.” The Obama administration clearly tried to influence the election with the recent tour of the region which included a speech in Cairo, Egypt directed to the Muslim world by President Barack Obama. It would be a big set back to President Obama's middle east peace plan if Ahmadinejad is re-elected. BetUS.com has posted political betting odds on who will win the Iranian National Election? Mahmoud Ahmadinejad 10/13 Mir-Hossein Mousavi 11/10 Mohsen Rezaei 5/1 Mehdi Karroubi 7/1 BetUS.com has posted political betting odds on whether there will be a run off be required to decide the winner? Yes 10/13 No 10/11                        |
