    It's amazing how this country lets Billions get away for so many years but on the hand would they fuck it up if it was legal throughout the states. They know what goes on in far away places just do what good business man do copy the success you see and add a twist. Reduced Juice, Bonus's being able to deposit and withdraw with no problems or worries. I'm afraid some here may never see it.

    But it's getting harder and harder to deposit and grade A can go to Grade D in a snap. Been dealing with Off-Shore since 1998 and look at the changes from then to now. If done right and that's a big if it would be outstanding.

    And the idiots will still bet with WIlliam Hill because they've heard of them not us. British books do huge square business there even when people could play at 1/4 of the juice at pinnacle.

    This is a pretty major moment. Nothing will happen anytime soon because things dont happen that are important in congress , let alone something that has no real lobby like sports betting. But if sports gambling is legal in the US outside of Nevada 5-15 years down the line, this will be the first real step forward towards that possibility. Someone with a clue finally saying it.

    Bud Selig probably cringing as he reads the op ed and I love it.
