Online gambling is illegal, and offline non-sanctioned gambling is illegal in my state. So whether I won or lost the bet, I'd lose because I'd be breaking laws (and AT'ers would no doubt make a thread to the effect that any conservative Christian participating in illegal gambling is a hypocrite).
Besides, I haven't even decided if I'll vote yet. If Texas was in danger of going to Obama, then McCain would be losing by a landslide in many other "red states". But with Palin shoring up the base, more than likely Texas will go to McCain, so my vote wouldn't matter much. It would be amusing if Obama won the popular vote but lost the electorate.. the libs on this board would go apes***.
If you guys are so eager to wager your dough, try Intrade and let me know A) if you make any money and B) what your accountant thinks about it. I'm very curious about that site.
I don't think the FBI is worried about a private bet of $50, and I don't see the relevance of whether or not you vote to the equation. It doesn't sound to me like you really believe McCain will win, so in that respect I think we are on the same page.
