Experts: Online-Gambling Ban Won't WorkNews Story
Gamblers may look over their shoulder now, but experts say a new Internet gambling ban won't keep bettors from ponying up, just turn them on to overseas payment services out of the law's reach. It has put a terrible scare into people, said I. Nelson Rose, who teaches gambling law at Whittier Law School. But it won't by any means wipe out Internet gambling. The fright swept through the $12 billion industry on the heels of the recent arrests of two gambling company executives and a new l

Costa Rica not caving to U.S. gambling arrestsNews Story
Costa Rica finds itself in the middle of the fight between U.S. authorities and the online gambling industry. Think of Costa Rica and flashes of colorful birds, bright beaches and long hikes through the rain forest come to mind. But several recent arrests and indictments have thrust the country into the spotlight for another, less savory reason: its cozy relationship with the online gambling industry. The industry is under fire from U.S. authorities, helping create the notion that this sma

Texas Lottery Commission votes to ban lottery couriersReply
I totally agree. The objectives and goals of the courier services is unsavory and has absolutely nothing to do with playing to win like every other average player on an equal playing field. The argument that courier services provide a vital service to those who cant get to the stores is weak, inferior and petty as the same persons who cant get to the stores do in fact get to the stores by several other means and ways to fill the supplies for the support of life with far more important th

800 million dollarsReply
One more thing and then I'm done.... An investor with 800 million dollars could invest with a Private Equity Firm. Generally PE Firms accept only Institutional Investers as Limited Partners, but they will accept money from an individual invester that is High Networth Individual. You'd have to prove to them you really do have more than 30 million in the bank (you'd have to show them bank statements so they could vet you) but if they did accept your money you would benefit from something calle

I've read that Illinois Anonymous , is it true / false.Reply
Maybe they forgot to update their site. DES PLAINES Hitting the jackpot and winning more than $250,000 from the Lottery will no longer automatically cost you your privacy under a new law sponsored by State Senator Laura Murphy (D-Des Plaines). Not everyone wants the fame that comes with winning a large prize from the Lottery, Murphy said. Illinois Lottery winners should be able to keep their information private if they so choose. Currently, Lottery winners names, city of residenc

Take5 NYReply
Ever wonder (as I have) how many T5 jackpots are split among multiple winners? I think everybody here is well aware that if you are lucky enough to have all five numbers, you're more than likely going to share the jackpot with somebody else located in New York State. It's a winter wonderland outside due to yesterday's east coast snowstorm, and it's too cold to go out, so I'm thinking I'm going to make an Excel spreadsheet today and see how many jackpots were won in November and how many of th

$510 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot soars into top 10Reply
Yes, there are many more playing than usual, but not to the extent I recall in the past at this jackpot level. Likely they'll bump the estimate up before Saturday, but would be surprised if it rises much above $550 million. Maybe I'm visiting the wrong retailers, because not seeing much PB buying. Presumably, Saturday will be more busy, but still strange not to see more regulars buying in bulk like they used to. This past drawing, I played 3 lines with Powerplay (hitting 2nd place is 25X m

Oklahoma governor approves increased lottery payoutsNews Story
Gov. Mary Fallin signed legislation Tuesday that could lead to higher Oklahoma Lottery prize amounts and higher revenue to education. Lottery officials believe the law will spur more purchases of instant-win scratcher tickets, which in turn will boost funding for public schools, CareerTech institutions, colleges and universities. House Bill 1837 doesn't affect the multi-state lottery games like Powerball, but people who buy scratch-off tickets should see a change in July. The Oklahoma L

Virginia nixes online lottery ticket salesNews Story
A Virginia House of Delegates subcommittee jettisoned legislation that would have allowed the Virginia Lottery to sell tickets on the Internet. Convenience store owners were among those opposed to the bill that would have opened the door to online gambling. This is the first time a Virginia Assembly Committee has voted on the issue. Del.
