this was an effort designed to curb online poker and gaming, but where does horse racing fit into all of this

Incorrect. Bush hasn't signed it yet.

He should within the next two weeks.

Ah, Somer; I ask myself the same thing about you. (SOOOO teasing-- you know I think you're the bee's knees).

Hey, I spent last election knocking on doors in the pouring rain-- fat lot of good it did my candidate...

This is so going to backfire on them. More people gamble on the internet then they think and they are not all democrats. I tend to think of myself as a conservative person but this will push me away from voting for people that believe in this bill How stupid can the government be.

The crash in stocks of euro and caribbean gaming companies is a vast overreaction to the passage of this bill and anyone who likes money would be wise to buy low now so you can sell high later.

The idea that you will be unable to move money through an offshore account is laughable. They have driven it underground. Look for new sites set up in the next few days that will take your money and forward it to any site you want.

You won't be able to use a $US demoninated credit card but if you were using a credit card to fund your gambling you were already an idiot.

Chromer i have to disagree. I use a credit card for all gaming transactions, much eaiser to cancel a credit card if they lose it then your back account. Beyond that, i earn cash back on all purchases. it doesn't matter what you use to put funds in your account. As long as you can afford it.
