I think, having never actually placed a bet, that you both keep a copy of the bet, so that there is no question of one of you being able to alter it without it becoming rapidly obvious that at least one of you has done so...

Your betting slip is scanned ("captured") so there is an electronic copy - which is the master copy, the customer getting a print of the scan, so actually it doesn't have to be in pen, but it came to mind as I read the debate about pen vs pencil.

Popped in to argos last week, all the pens are gone and they give you a pencil now to record your chosen item on the slip. Where have all the pens gone - not to the polling stations.
