– Quincy Election News from Quincy Quarry News
Quincy Quarry election day betting line book.
Unlike the local broadsheet, which was duly as well as deservedly dissed for its decision to endorse the duly embattled incumbent Mayor Thomas P. Koch, the Quarry is opting to offer up tips on how to place friendly wagers on tomorrow’s election race outcomes.
This way, one can make a little money no matter how things play out.
School Committee
Three candidates are officially on the ballot for three seats, with one late entrant opting to run as a write-in candidate.
No local write-in candidate has won in recent years, if ever per the current election format.
As such, consider the write-in candidate’s odd as long to so wicked long if not off the boards that not even British totes would book the bet and they will bet on ANYTHING given sufficient odds and action to make it interesting.
Ward One City Council race
The incumbent Number One local ward heeler has more problems than Quincy had potholes after last winter’s snow pack finally melted.
As such, the best bet is to work her most rabid followers for attractive odds.
In other words, sucker bets.
And to lay off a potential miracle comeback from the dead, seek a kicker side bet, taking the action that she ends up hit with a negative and expensive ruling against her by the State Ethics Commission over her voting to help fund her so-called day job with city funds.
Ward Two City Council race
While the incumbent’s speaking style reminds one of the oxymoronic mix of a Quincy-accent inflected Southern Senator, his stolid efforts while in office, love of Quincy and desire to do the best he could put him at 8 to 1 to win reelection.
As such, the only smart action here is to play the 47 percentage point spread.
Ward Three City Council race
A close race is expected even if the first time candidate has not exactly done much after a early break out of the starting gate.
As such, any positive action that can be extracted taking the other candidate and school teacher that is better than a straight up even bet is the smart bet.
To find a sucker to take the bet, just call the first timer’s campaign and ask about making a bet with Vinnie.
Ward Four City Council race
No action here as the incumbent is not facing a challenger on the ballot nor is there an announced write-in candidate other than perennially longtime loser Mickey Mouse.
Ward Five City Council race
The incumbent is the current Chair of the Massachusetts Republican State Committee during the day and should thus have the chops to be a shoo in for reelection against her part time yoga instructor opponent; however, the relatively longer lived yoga instructor keeps leaving the younger incumbent tied up in knots – and which are often of incumbent’s own initiation.
Even so, the play in this race is to snag long shot odds and taking the challenger or – better yet – trying to work the 37 percentage point spread for a few more points.
Ward Six City Council race
This race is one where the Quarry’s totes do not care to tread.
Some races are tough to call and some are just too weird to figure out.

at Large Council seats race
As three seats are up for election this election, this race presents a great opportunity for trifecta fans.
The Quarry is partial to a trifecta bet featuring the current Council President, the 12 year School Committee member and the filly.
For a single horse bet, booking attractive odds that the other incumbent at Large as well as large himself councillor is going down would be smart bet as he has been long been stammering around the track.
And as the for two year School Committee member, don’t be surprised if he ends up DNF.

The Heavyweight Main Event
This race is the Big Enchilada – or at least it will be if one of the candidates doesn’t eat the enchilada beforehand.
Even better for bettors, egos are involved as opposed to cool railbirds just working the odds as instead of going with either the presumptive favorite or the presumptuous one.
Per the latest leak from “French Kiss,” the Quarry’s City Hall rat mole, the incumbent is said to be touting himself as a 4 percentage point spread winner.
Apparently he doesn’t know what any college stat class student knows: plus or minus 4% is the statistical margin of error.
So also for the fact that he has never finished up anything on time and/or on budget as well as that most of the smart money sees him losing by 4 – given, that is a fair election count.

Drink the Kool Aid

Given a 46% or better registered voter turnout, Quincy Quarry touts also sense that a 4% win – much less a win by any margin however ironically slim – ain’t happening for the embattled incumbent absent a fixed race.
Therefore, work those amped up on Kool Aid for the incumbent’s self proclaimed spread – or better – or go for the appropriate odds.
Happy betting!
