Default Re: So who\'s REALLY behind this anti-online gaming push?

I suspect it is a balance of trade issue.

These types of boards are populated with winning players, to a fair degree. The fish we feed on, in addition to the sports bettors, and slot junkies, generally do not make withdrawals. That's a bunch of money going overseas, and just a trickle coming out.

Balance of trade, combined with some US gaming donations to the election coffers, plus the bone for the Southern Baptist Convention... you got yourself a deal!

I will admit the potential for terrorist money movement exists. But the way most of you guys bitch about epassporte fees, I know the terrorists don't want to be paying the vig either, trying to bet both sides of the Superbowl. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
