Legalizing sports gambling is smartest bet yet.
Quote:
In the United States of America, it is illegal for a mathematician to sit in his home, fire up his computer and employ his analytical skills in a game of online poker for money. Politicians say its about protecting him from the ills of gaming or some such nonsense.
Of course, he can go down to the bar, get bombed and blow his life savings on endless games of mindless keno.
The gambling laws of this country have never made any sense. They are a confused maze of miscast morality, government money grabs and special-interest favoritism.
In the case of sports wagering, where the majority of profits in the estimated $350 billion industry go to offshore operations and organized crime, the laws are pure, unadulterated stupidity.
