I have had experience with on line wagering for sports events. Prior to the government cracking down on the activity, (which of course if you look into the lobbyist who greased certain politicians on this it is almost hilarious) it was trivial.
The common means of funding accounts was neteller. It was the cheapest and you don’t need to do it through your credit card. Post crackdown it is not only hard to fund accounts but some sites will not let you set up an account. Pinnacle was by far the single best on line wagering site. Bodog pretty much stinks. If you tried to set up an account a few years ago I am not sure why you were not successful. The real crackdown did not take effect until about 2 years ago if I recall.

Not only do I not agree with your “going on record prediction but I will be more then happy to make a wager with you on your prediction.
I understand perfectly that racism, antisemitism, intolerance, ingnorance, and general hatred is alive and well, and even flourishing in our country. However I do not believe that some frustrated McCain supporter is gonna pull a gun from the rack off his pickup truck and shoot Obama at some campaign stop.
I think the “support” for McCain is not strong but can be better characterized as opposing Obama. Of those opposing Obama I believe there are two camps. Camp 1 is made of ignorant racists of which this country can do without. Camp 2 is made up of those that are opposed to his policies whether they are domestic or international, not because they oppose the color of his skin.
As f’d up as it is that we even have to worry about some cracked racist trying to kill Obama, I still have faith that it will not happen. Obama will indeed be our next president and we will move forward. For alot of reasons it will be good, hopefully an entire segment of our population who have been disenfranchised will feel as if they have true representation. I think that is good. I am much more concerned about other issues which I have talked about but tough break for me and I will deal with it.
All that said, I would be more then happy to take your bet.
