I can't lie. Boy do I miss being able to wager on the games. I'd start out Saturday mornings with over/unders on some european soccer matches, then move on to college hoops in the afternoons and evenings.
I don't see how any of this legislation will ever be overturned. Look how long it took to shut them down - it will take equally as long, well, no, it will take *twice* as long to open them back up - and I'll tell you what - there isn't a congressman or woman who will want to be the first one to propose such a change and allow online gaming in the US. After all, it was the Republicans who shut us down - they are normally 'less government'. And the Dems? Well, they thrive on protecting us from ourselves.
The more I think about it, the more I realize this isn't coming back. Ever.
Unless someone out there has some very good rationale, I have to stop grieving and pick up a new hobby - maybe gardening in -35 weather? Yeah, that's what I'll do....
