Something seems fishy.

Is it just me or does it seem like Professional sports are set-up so the ''governments'' can earn $$$ off of the Sports Gaming Industry. Something just seems weird about how things go in sports. Who handles the money from these online sports books? I don't have much knowledge and work like to know who is handling the money I deposit into my online account.

Our government (America) has nothing to do with offshore books. They make money from those that break the law in regard to bookmaking and other gambling related offenses but do not gain any type of profit from the industry itself unless they regulate and tax it. The money you deposit goes to the operation you send it to. Most of these shops were opened up by entrepreneurs and investors. Lot's of local books from the US take the chance and open up shop in various islands and smaller countries who regulate it and get a piece of it. America is just too stupid to follow

Ok, I see. Maybe I'm just paranoid about sports gambling. I'm a thinker and I always have this theory in the back of my mind that anyone involved in the high ranks of sports have their nose in this industry somehow and it's a big conspiracy for them to earn $.
