My two prop bets coming together. Lieberman and Senate final

I made these bets before the primary in Connecticut and it was still unsure enough of Joe's indy run that I actually got odds on him retaining his seat. My other bet is on a 50 - 50 tie in the Senate (with independents counted how they vote in the first procedural votes). My only other bet was on Fienstein's margin of victory.

With the Foley thing, I'm glad I didn't wager on any house numbers.

1. you didn't place these bets legally, did you?
I lived in vegas for a while. I looked high and low for a political gambling pool or a casino that takes political bets. I never found one.

2. You have to place them outside the US

Paddybets used to take online them but I don't think they do anymore.

3. thanks
I know all these lame sports bookies... none of them will take a political bet (too "inconsistent"). And how do all these bookies come up with the same stats for these pro sports teams? It is like they have some union or something.
