Just heard on Fox News that Ohio will take 10 days to count the rest of the votes, and then will declare it official. I assume the books will wait until then to pay us, even if Kerry concedes.

NO

Bush can wrap up the state of Ohio BEFORE all the ballots are counted.

For example, if there are 100,000 ballots remainining to be counted and Bush leads by 134,000 votes, the election is won.

I would anticipate the election being over Thursday evening............either by Bush being declared the Ohio winner, or Kerry conceding victory.

I would anticipate some sportsbooks to grade BUSH the winner then.........not all.........but some.

This may take longer then you think, even if Bush wins Ohio. Nevada, Iowa and New Mexico are close enough that they will probably need to wait until overseas ballots are in.

JW- Disagree, as I think it is very possible that if Kerry concedes, the majority of books will grade the winning BUSH wagers.

Kerry, if not conceding today, will do so in the next 48 hours IMO.

Cool! Now that Kerry conceded I hope it's just a matter of hours before the books start paying. I have bets in at both Bodog and Pinnacle but as of 11:22 am they still haven't paid. I just hope they do it today since I bet everthing I had and don't want to reload for today's games.

Does anybody have any information on any other books that have graded the election?

Add OLY and WSEX to the list of books that have graded the election.

Looks as though the gamblers can breath a sigh of relief on this one and everybody should be paid very soon.

Very very close race.......all votes not counted yet.

Absentee ballots probably.
