I dunno if this is a taboo subject on here or not but… how many folks here bet on games?

Betting on sports is old school.
Betting On Governor Races is whats in.
(betting on colin farrel’s life is just gay by the way).

I bet on sports on occasion. We’ve got a nicely streamlined system for it all up here.
Depends on what you mean. I play in the office pools for NFL weekly games and also for the NCAA March Madness. Its a heavy load to bear - costs me about 100 bucks a year.
What kind odds were you getting? :)
Actually I was kinda referring to off-shore, er Las Vegas, betting.

That link is to offshore betting, they have sports and wacky news, politics, enterainment bets. I know they pay when you win.

Speaking of which:
Governor of California Special Election 2003 - Result of Recall Prop
Davis is recalled -300
Davis remains in office +250
Governor of California Special Election 2003 - Odds to Replace Davis if Recall is Successful
Arnold Schwarzenegger 1/4
Cruz Bustamante 5/2
Tom McClintock 12/1
Wow, Arnold is 1/4? Yikes. That’s good odds :)

Anyway, wanted to see if anyone wanted to form a “synidcate” (not as menacing as it sounds). PM me if you’re interested.

“Offshore” betting is a huge industry in Costa Rica. Virtually any English speaker can earn 9$ an hour and up (a lot for there), so long as you don’t mind living in a cubicle for 9 hours straight.
Mind you, given the amount of processing power and facilities they have to process it, the house ALWAYS cleans up. I know of quite a few otherwise reasonable college students who cleaned themselves out betting.
