Psychological warfare for degenerate, gullible douchebags.

Coach, they've done this before.

They paid out all of the Romney bets early in the GOP primary and got a brief scare from it.

It's good business. They think someone is inevitable to win -- they make a spectacle about paying out bets early -- they get headlines -- they don't have to take a further late pounding on the favorite -- and as long as the big favorite wins it's a genius move.

If Romney wins, it will backfire and cost them a ton of money... but they will still get great publicity and attention as being the one bookmaker that paid winners on both sides.
