Um, I know this is probably a stupid question, but wtf is 'any other result',
when it comes to this election? Everything in this country seems so jacked up right now, I'm willing to risk maybe $50 at 320-1 odds. Only thing is, what the hell can other results be? A tie being the obvious answer, but is there anything else, that would classify as 'any other result'? How about if McCain concedes and says, 'f--- it, I'm too old for this shit anyway. Is that 'any other result'? That would be the best economic stimulus package for us gamblers, wouldn't it?

Well, I just looked up the odds on the presidential election on some online books and it says:
Obama -900
McCain +566
other result +3230

So I was just thinking what can be 'other result' ?
Other than a tie, of course.

If you want to give away money so badly there are scores of charities to do so, and you'll even get a an income tax deduction. No income tax deduction for gifting to WSEX.

Ralph nader could win.

:nohead:

Only other realistic result is if something happens to Obama or Mccain, and they are replaced.

Nader and Paul, nor any other can win this thing.

Other is almost assassination odds.

Just for the record, I don't think that Nader has any shot at getting more then 2% of the popular vote or any electoral votes.

That's just one of the "any other" occurrences. I bet some people who really think he could win bet that like a buncha morons.

Election cancelled... Bush declares marshall law. It's my understanding that this scenario was written into the Patriot Act. I think that might qualify as "any other result". Although I'm sure some would want to claim "no action" under those circumstances.
