Interesting choice. Yes, I think medical matters will be at the top of the agenda, whether that is admitted or not. I wish the UK has so well qualified a candidate. Regarding sports betting, a word of caution on favourites. Not just elections, but particularly in horse racing, the favourites do not win as often as they should, statistically speaking. That has been studied in great depth, certainly as deep as any medical statistical study, imho. The upshot is, the bookies make most of their money when the favourites lose, and actually make a loss when the favourites win. If have money running on long odds, and by some strange fate ... win... the odds of being paid the win is usually high. Now a legal point to cover. Sports betting is regarded as a "Frivolous Activity" in the eyes of the Law in the UK. If the bookie decides not to pay up, there is no legal recourse. 2026 TeoTwawKi ... 2032 Darkest Interregnum Message Board - Msg: 34540818 (siliconinvestor.com) Now $500 or so, not a problem. The bookie will be making a loss that day, a bit more won't make that much difference. BUT, if you strongly fancy your chances, and put ... say... a "telephone number amount of money" on a favourite .... I would advise against it. The bookies like their easy style of living, and nothing more needs saying. It's really just for entertainment purposes only. -g-
