Default Re: thinktank says US will owe $100 billion

Various games were discussed in the WTO opinions JP, but I cant recall where they specifically defined "gambling." I know the original agreement has no specific definition of "gambling services."

Just because everyone assumes it means certain things, doesnt necessarily mean those assumptions are true.

Mr. Cohen is the expert here, and I will deffer to him or anyone else who can show me a WTO definition of what is or is not gambling. But I see no reason why, for example, the US could not ban all online gambling and rule that poker is not "gambling." Hell, why cant we declare it a "sport" like they did in Russia?
