Five down....One to go!
United Airlines reached a tentative cost-cutting deal Tuesday with the union representing its largest employee group-23,000 baggage handlers, customer service workers and security guards. That just leaves the District 141-M of IAM. Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!....United Rising.

Well I reckon 141-M is a done deal. Are side bets in breach of the TOS?

I am in a generous kinda mood, and days later can offer 5-1 odds. avek00 get 10-1 as he has been so sure he was correct here about 141-M via his "informed sources."

Can't he just pay you with a credit card through your business? Most online gambling establishments accept them...

Make sure the envelope containing the wager doesn't pass through GUM. I've heard the Assistant U.S. Attorneys (federal prosecutors) there are very tough. (!)
