Default Re: CNN Article putting Poker in a more positive light, highlighting s

You miss my point, Jay. I agree that simply allowing poker as a game of skill will not bring the US into compliance. The US would also have to ban ALL remote "gambling" at the same time. How you split this up between various activities is what then becomes the next round of WTO litigation - and this may well include having to allow sportsbetting or having to make betting on horse racing illegal, thats what gets litigated (and this happens after Antigua gets its sanctions for what we have already done - but not necessarily requiring us to compensate the EU and others, as we would no longer have to withdraw our commitments - the US could then advance the moral argument on remote "gambling" going forward).
