[quote=firstdown;961281]At $100 the bet was not that bad but at $500 its not a good bet on either side. I'd bet $500 on the skins to win a game before I'd bet on either one of these guys.[/quote]

It will be a good bet for the winner...It's strictly business for me and I'm up.

[quote=saden1;961203]LOL, you're looking at one polling firm's polls which essentially has the race as a tie. You're betting based on emotion man and you're going to learn one valuable lesson....don't be stupid and make a bet with saden1.


Money Time! Let's Ge'it![/quote]The firm I'm looking at has been the most accurate in the last two elections. It all comes down to fundamentals at the end of the day....and the fundamentals are MINE!!!!

It's on in about 18 hours!!!!

FD, as far as this being a good bet, based on the numbers I see, my odds are slightly over 50%....even if they're a flat 50/50, where do you get odds like that in Vegas.

[B][I]...you put your money where your mouth is and that's admirable[/I][/B].[/quote]ditto to you.

I'm surprised there weren't any others who did side bets or anything, not even $$$ related.

and no matter who wins tomorrow, we're still stuck with MS & crew. I'd gladly put down $ 500 to have them gone.

Re: 2012 Presidential Election (free for all edition)
 

I guess I can't talk about stupid bets I have a running bet with a buddy thats $100 per season that either Dallas or Skins sweep the series. I think I have won once in the past 10 yrs and he has won like 5 times. The bet was $50 per game but its a wash if they split so thats how we came up with the bet.

Here in our part of VA I hear voting turn out is very high.

Re: 2012 Presidential Election (free for all edition)
 

This is the first year in WA where voting is via mail. They do have a few polling places in certain counties for Senior Citizens and people who didn't get their ballots. We won't know the real results for a few weeks but we know the results...this is Blue Country!
