This is just amazing.. They made all these "side bets", "parlays", "office pool" type bets even WITHOUT a "bookie" (clearinghouse) involved..

And we bailed them out to the tune of one trill, so far, that is..

There is something terribly wrong with this picture..Says something about the credibility and transparency of OUR financial markets..They are always talking about other country's markets and their tranparency and credibilty.. Better start looking in the mirror..<ng>

I want to be bailed out of all my losing football bets, but I'm KEEPING my winnings. <g,ng>
