The Sheriffs department in Florida is as corrupt as it gets,they lie,steal,and plant false evidence on a daily basis,and they are in charge of transporting the votes.
Two comments, don't consider the ideas valid, just making some points (forgive me, its late)
1) There was a Formula 1 race about a year ago where the podium finish was changed a week after the event by a committee. The unofficial podium finish was used. Would not be too hard to make the case that Bush is the winner for wagering purposes (I have a pure scalp on the event and could care less).
2) Most sporting event rules declare the event must take place within x hours of the designated event date. The recount in Florida might delay the final results for ten days due to mailed in ballots.
I thought the best rules were the ones CENTREBET had posted. They said the winner was the one SWORN in on JAN 20th. Sure looks like that could be how long it takes to know for sure at this point.
Centrebet made up their own rule. Every other book had it worded, "to be elected president". So those of you who bet the winner at Centrebet have to wait until Jan. 20...that's a joke. Another question...What if Bush wins the election but Gore challenges the Florida result?...not because of the vote count, but the fact that some voters marked their ballots for Buchanan when they wanted Gore. My take is that the books should then use the "protests do not count for wagering purposes" rule and payout on Bush. What do you BM's think of that situation? Who would you payout on? I bet nobody responds.
