Re: Gracz rips police after bust
[/ QUOTE ]Yeah it's great that the government considers it a game of chance, but at the same time taxes it as earned income. Doesn't the term 'earned' have an implication of skill? [/ QUOTE ] Income tax is not limited to 'earned' income. Income 'from whatever source derived' is subject to the tax, yes, even income resulting from a crime. Al Capone went to Alcatraz for tax evasion.

Re: Gracz rips police after bust
[ QUOTE ]
change the laws [/ QUOTE ] In Texas, we've been trying to do it for 10 years to license card clubs since there seems too much opposition to casino gambling, although there is less than before. Until the pro gaming lobby > religious/morals/anti gaming lobby, this will never happen anywhere. It also doesn't help that poker in the "view of the masses" think poker is pure chance.

[/ QUOTE ] I would say that the lobbying done by our neighbors is probably a bigger issue than those... Lake Charles, Shreveport, and Oklahoma would stand to lose A LOT of money if TX got its own legal cardrooms... Winstar is all Dallas people, Lake Chuck is Screwston central... etc... plenty of cardrooms in each city if you dont mind getting butt rammed by a ridiculous rake for low limits...
