Convention is in late August. But we should have a presumptive nominee on Tuesday.

Will that be good enough to make the bets go thru? or does that wait till August when nominations are handed out

you will probably have to wait it out in case the presumptive nominee pulls out, dies, etc.

I would imagine the election wagers should be processed soon considering the convention is going on this week....I took Obama back in Jan and its just not getting around to being time to have it pay out

annoying but in time for football season I suppose

01/23/2008 by ONLINE at 06:12 AM [Ticket #: 36596361] 2008 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION - DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE
11/01/2008 @ 12:58 PM TNT [15952] BARACK OBAMA +185


02/04/2008 by ONLINE at 02:29 AM [Ticket #: 37070553] 2008 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION - DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE
11/01/2008 @ 12:58 PM TNT [15952] BARACK OBAMA +140



When I made the first one I wanted to hit it kinda soft, because I thought it would eventually give me a better number but it started to go in the wrong direction so most of my action is at +140, but I have some at +185

I imagine the bets won't be graded until 11/01/2008 at 12:58. Sucks when you have to wait for a winner to be graded!

5 dimes graded mine

It may be different because I had a "no" on Rudy and a "no" on Hillary. They graded those right after the respective candidates dropped out.
