Delaware to legalize sports betting?

This was my favorite part of the article...

A recent study by PricewaterhouseCoopers reported that the United States stands to earn $52 billion over the next decade by taxing, rather than policing, Internet gaming sites, mainly those focused on poker. That news prompted Congressman Barney Frank (D, Mass.) to announce that, later this month, he'll propose a bill overturning the Unlawful Internet Gaming Enforcement Act of 2006, which bars banks and credit card companies from making payments to known online gambling sites. The law has made it difficult for many betting sites to do business in the U.S.

This is not nearly enough to make a difference. Parlay wagering only? That is B.S. If the government had any brains at all (and aparently they do not) they would legalize on line gaming in the U.S. with the provision that all sites had to be headquartered in the U.S. and that the normal tax proceedures used in Las Vegas would be followed. That way, gamblers get a safe place to invest and wager, and the government makes millons to bail out banks, auto dealers, and other non-deserving businesses and people. It is a win-win for all of us. Some, more than others, but all of us get to wager and not worry about collecting, screw ups in accounts in foreign places where we can do nothing about it, and all the other headaches that you read in here constantly.

If legalization is going to lead to only proline shit with only parlayed bets allowed, then I hope it remains illegal.

Legalize gambling and marijuana , tax the phuck out of it and this economy will turn around fast.

LOL. This topic is brought up all the time and it never passes. The problem is they only want to provide you with parlay bets. I hate parlays.

This funny thing is my uncle just got elected for a State Rep job and one of his things he highlighted was to not allow sports gambling lol.

The state is doing it to make some big money, but I think people will stay with their locals.
