    I'm telling Mrs. Rennick where her savings for that romantic, getaway weekend went :eek:

  5. I was in LV last week visiting a buddy who moves $5mm a week in NFL action. Roughly 50% was done with online books. Ugh.

    You can walk into any large LV casino and open an account to bet from home. It's called "account wagering". Now, how is internet gambling illegal?

    Political discrimination IMHO. Since when are the odds not "rigged" in Vegas? LOL I wonder how many started staying at home instead of previously going to a conventional casino? Also the question regarding taxation. I think the only settlement that will work in favour of online casions is where the online casinos will agree to somehow pay taxes to the US.

  8. I wonder who could be putting so much pressure on Congress to stop any kind of online wagering? *scratches head*

    I mean, who has that much power with politicians? *scratches head*

  10. Are there any lawyers out there. I wonder if someone can answer this question for me. I have been playiing with the houses money since I signed up at this site and got an ititial bonus from them. I have never put a dime in this account so I do not see how I could be gambling as there is zero risk of losing.
