Some US laws suck. Like this anti-gambling law. Well you still can bet on horses or buy state lottery tickets. I like to hear the Jesus freaks justify that. Are people that bet on horses or buy lottery tickets less susceptible to gambling addiction? Um...no. In fact I would bet there are more people that have an addiction to buying lottery tickets than have an addiction to any other form of gambling. But since it's run by the STATES it's ok.
The US casinos are going to rue the day they supported this bill. Online gambling would have INCREASED their earnings not taken away from it. They'll realize it with 10 years. Of course it will be too alte them and it will take another 10-15 of lobbying before they finally get online gambling legalized in the US. of course by then they would have lost out on about $150 BILLION or more. Stupid, stupid stupid.
