I am not sure which way to react. I will bet however, that they are getting some good action on it.:think2:

I am not sure if ethically one is supposed to bet on stuff like this. I will say that if I was betting, I would lay pretty big odds that he gets convicted of something.

So.....it's ethical to bet on as long as your betting on the side of him being convicted. Got it.

All hypothetical sir. I have no money posted up with any irish bookies.

I dont have a problem with it. My problem is books taking bets on events involving minor children (little league world series , high school football , etc ) i dont blame the degenerate gamblers that bet on these events as i once after bowling league bet a guy 25 bucks who could get the most m&m's out of a candy machine , but the books have enough stuff to take bets on that they should'nt be taking action on childrens events. ... just my 2 cents.

no problem at all...i am sure many were waiting for steve jobs to die and then "bet" on Apple one way or another....if you feel a certain way about it, abstain, but i personally have no issue with it

I have no problem with books booking whatever people want to bet on....as long as the events can't easily be fixed.

what site can i get some action on this stuff?

I dont mind betting on kids.....when I was in high school....had a friend at a rival school and would bet him all the time...if i knew books had lines I could've made some cash.....if they are easily fixed then i have a problem.

I think where i draw the line is when we are betting on kids close to us where we can influence them and punish them for losing a bet for us
