| 4. this is an excellent bet with a huge edge for the kerry gambler |
|
Bush is no where near that far ahead of Kerry, indeed, Kerry is ahead of Bush in some polls. If I thought it was a legal bet, I would be getting some money together and finding out how much action the casino was willing to take. I would have expected to get back dollar for dollar if Kerry won; not a 30 percent bonus!
I think if you investigate further, you will find that there is no legal casino willing to book this bet. Damn. But please, if you do find a casino willing to book this bet, please PM me right away. I still have contact with several professional gamblers who are always interested in bets where the player has the edge. I'm confident you'd get a finder's fee if your information checked out and we were guided to a legal place to place this bet.

| 5. anyone know where i can place this bet? |
|
I am bumping one last time to ask if anyone knows a legal gambling venue where I can place this bet. Betting $100 to win $130 on a Kerry win is a huge opportunity if it's real -- but I strongly suspect it has been invented by this "reporter" and that there is no legal place to make this bet.

(British online betting site) and a few other places . Ladbrokes is one of the UK's better-known legal bookmakers; most of the others have online presences where one may place bets, too (and remember, Google is your friend).

| 7. online betting is not legal in Louisiana |
|
Actually it is not legal under federal law anywhere in the United States but it is also specifically in violation of the laws of the state of Louisiana. It doesn't matter that the betting parlor in the U.K. says that it is legal there. I have to live here and comply with the gambling statutes on the books here. :-(
