Icfishies, the one thing I dont get is why you keep saying "the PPA's stand on sports betting" and the like. As far as I know, there is no PPA stand on sports betting.

I have a stand on it, I think it should be legal and regulated.

But I am not a sports bettor, and am not going to fight the issue for you. I am a poker player, and I am fighting for my right to legally remain a poker player.

The only time I distinguish sports betting from poker is when faced with someone who would rather eat bugs than see sports betting legalized. To those people I admittedly dont stand up for your rights, I stand up for mine.

But no where do I go around saying sports betting SHOULD be illegal and poker legal, neither does the PPA.

And to bring it back home (for uglyowl's sake) that is not what we are doing in MA. There is virtually no chance of the MA legislature any time in the near future (or probably in my lifetime) passing a law that makes online sports betting legal. Recognizing that fact, all we are doing is saying to the MA legislature, well poker is different, you can have legal online poker and keep online sports betting (and the other "casino" games) illegal if thats what you like.

I think you would do the same if the circumstances were reversed.
