Kid,

That is a long time to tie up your money.

do they have the field? often times they dont have the winner listed so they are not even paying anything out, a case sould be made for a refund in this situation.

Everyone should listen to picksix!!!!!

Do you want your $ tied up for 2 yr's?

Yeah, what's up with Al Gore? A few months ago he was the favourite for the democratic party nomination...

Rail, One of the nice things about WSEX Interactives is you're allowed to buy or sell anybody. If you like the field, you could short everyone that is listed and you would end up with $82 in your pocket at the moment(100 would be restricted). If one of the people you shorted wins, you would only lose $18, if someone other than the guys you shorted wins, you win the $82. (+455 on the field) It is still a long time to tie up your money though.

Yes, the system works well by releasing part of your money when you bet against more than one option. Makes perfect sense as you can't lose more than one sell bet on any given 1-pay option.
