internet gambling bills
Three bills aiming to "prohibit" Internet gambling are now winding their way through Congress. Internet gambling is already prohibited, at least in most forms. The companies that operate casino, sports betting, and poker websites are all based offshore, and most of their executives risk arrest if they ever step foot on American soil. But web-based gambling is still a $12 billion industry. And so just as has happened every other time our government has attempted to ban v...

we're just going to put this out as a thought.
This is all opinion and speculation. Have you noticed that since Draftkings started off with that one billion dollar prize and since they have been become a relatively legalized form of sports betting, the NFL ref's have been making God a...

Exiting the Delaware Lottery
The other shoe is dropping in Delaware for dedicated lottery players. True, I could naively continue to herald the DE Lottery as moving forward boldly into the 21st Century. Today's reality was a bucket of ice water leaving me looking for different if not greener pastures. When the first automatic dispensing machines (ADMs) were introduced to much fanfare by the DeLottery at Wawa, I thought it was about time! After all, we are always leaps and b...

Sports Action-Monday Night Scoreboard
In 2005 the Oregon legislature voted to stop the two popular games Sports Action and Monday Night Scoreboard. These games allow players to bet on Professional football. The 2006-2007 season marks the last for these two games. Oregon wants to attract NCAA tournaments to the large venues in this state and the NCAA had concerns about visitors betting on sports through the lottery while they came for the tournaments. So out of their concern Oregon decided to eliminate the...

Super Bowl Decorations are Completed
I went to the local NFL licensed sports memorabilia store today. I picked up a magnetic Bears logo (the black and orange bear head) to put on my van but my van must be made out of styrofoam 'cuz it wouldn't stick on the surface and the flower print window treatments got in the way of viewing it on the glass so I had to bring it inside. I found a suitable location on the interior of my front door. Then I googled 'colt pictures' and found a pict...

a terrible bet
Bad legislation may be especially common during an election year, but the Internet Gambling Prohibition and Enforcement Act passed 317-93 last month by the House is in a class by itself. The bill is simultaneously impractical, hypocritical and just plain confused. The measure would clarify the 1961 Federal Wire Act by banning the use of credit or debit cards to set up accounts with online...

Online Gambling Ban a Bad Bet for Republicans
In the wee hours of the last night of the last session of Congress, Majority Leader Bill Frist attached a ban on Internet gambling to a port security bill. It was a dubious maneuver, which not only prevented any real floor debate over the ban, but also attached an intrusive, unnecessary, big government measure to a bill that addressed important national security concerns. This meant that any senator who held the position that what Americans do with their own money in their ow...
