    ^ I think they all have a free option now, but I could be wrong. I haven’t gone on any of the sites since I couldn’t gamble. I’d try poker stars or full tilt poker. One, if not both, should have what you’re oooking for.

    It won't get rid of illegal gambling, far from it.

    Why am I going to go to a legal place out of my way when I can head to my local watering hole and just fill out a ticket?
    I never said it would get rid of illegal gambling, just that the federal and state governments will want their cuts now.
    Exactly the reason that illegal gambling will remain king.

    Don't forget that the leagues are going to want a piece too!
    Agree, but i also think another reason illegal gambling will still be rampant, is that you bet with a Bookey on credit, unlike legal gambling.


    Agreed. I don't think it's going to change the way I bet unless I'm in AC. Why would I want to pay taxes on my winnings if I don't have to?

    But AC trips just got a lot more entertaining.

    Yeah, I doubt this is going to change much with how I bet.  I can place bets with my bookie through my phone anytime I want.  Although if sportsbooks start opening up near me, I'm sure I'll go and watch games there and place a bet or two.  Should be interesting to see what happens...

    I like it.  Im a supporter of legal and regulated gambling, prostitution, and also certain drugs.

    I just hope it doesnt alter the live game experience where we have live gambling, teller windows, everyone in attendance focused only on their bets and cheering/rooting accordingly.  All I can picture is live sports becoming similar to attending horse racing.  

    I also hope it doesnt increase the perceived "need" to dissect every millimeter with instant replay.  



    I stopped online gambling.  Too much of a pain funding my account as well as taking funds away.  When GW Bush put his ignorant foot down on online poker, I lost over a hundred bucks (actually got lucky as I made a withdrawal before it happened).... so I never liked to keep funds in my account for long.  Paying international charges on my CC.... bad/clunky interfaces.  Security concerns, etc.

    Legal domestic gambling, I will certainly participate in

    Well....it doesn't mean players can bet on or against their own teams though....

    True.  I just wish they had fined the guy instead of giving him what amounts to a life sentence.

    A life sentence which he agreed to based on breaking the cardinal sin of baseball.

    Does this allow for single game sports betting?  A local politician has been trying to get single game betting in Canada for years...

    Really? I feel like this is just one step closer to the utter collapse of decency and makes Back to the Future II's future more possible. We already have President Biff and the continued push for sex, drugs and money in our society just seems to be getting more extreme.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    yes. currently only Vegas has it legally in the US but each state can now make their own decision on offering it.  At least 5 states already have laws on their books allowing it now that the federal ban has been lifted.  New Jersey should have it rolling within a month or two.  Others states to follow.

    how is betting on a sporting event indecent?
    pharmaceuticals prescribed from your doctor are just as harmful as most recreational drugs.
    maybe legalizing prostitution is heading down that indecency path, but i don't think that will ever be close to legal  on a national basis in this country.
