Before the US election I decided that I would be happier if Kerry won and that I needed a way of being happy should Bush win.
I discovered that Stan James, an online bookmaker, had Bush at 8/13 and Kerry at 6/5. I decided that if Kerry won I wouldn’t mind losing £10 (roughly $20) and while a £6.15 ($12) wouldn’t make me happy that Bush won, it would be some compensation and I could spend that money in some symbolic way.
Well as you should already know, Bush won and I got my stake and winnings paid back into my bank.
