When Uncle Sam closes a door open a window.

I know everyone is freaking out about all the crackdowns and pullouts of major online gambling sites but these open new money-making opportunities for us.

One major one for me; I believe these current events will lead to much juicier action for poker at the Casinos. A lot of the on-line players tend to try to steal pots with wild bets and also sometimes have pretty easy tells. This leads me to play tight (appear weak) and wait until I get monster hands and let all the on-line donks push all their chips at me and then act like I made a mistake when I call their $100 bet at a $70 pot when I have an overpair and they are on some longshot draw.

Also I am sure these events will lead to some of us getting into one of the many aspects of local bookmaking.

And if all else fails we will always have our horses to bet on.

Gambling is going nowhere it might change appearance but will thrive on stronger than ever.

Horse Racing is legal with all books but the problem with it is Horse Racing gets lumped in with Sports Bets so books will not stay in business for Horse Bets. Not enough money in it for them

ALL 'bookies' should be OWNED by AMERICANS & Operated by same so when 'they' are caught 'SKIMMING'/ETC 'we' fellow citizens via 'our' government can 're-claim' the 'lost' loot via 'confistication'..
