I've been off-line for a few weeks, but this message caught my interest.
(So did Bill Lucy's.)   www.tradesports.com was right on the money, so to
speak, calling every state correctly and every senate race except for Alaska.

The nonsense that occurred on tradesports during November 2nd was due to
Saros, or someone using his account, betting wildly, possibly trying to
take the website down.  (The website was down for a few minutes on election
day.) That little attempt probably cost him a few million dollars.

I'm continually amazed at the accuracy of the betting websites versus the
pollsters.  My political friends, both republicans and democrats, were
amazed at my ability to accurately predict the outcomes.

   Bruce (okay, it wasn't my ability, but the ability of the folks betting
their hard earned money)
