Gambling Probe at U of Florida

Neither is an online poker site, since the debt was probably on the player's credit card.

 

This is going to be a very big noise that amounts to very little.
Online poker?
Give me a break.

 

The Feds are on the brink of making it impossible for people to fund on-line poker accounts, leaving the banks to enforce the fiat.

I can see this as something BO would step in to reverse, but for online gamers, this will be a sticky wicket, near-term.

And, no, I've never played poker online for money in my life. Not my fight.

 

When it's illegal, then this kid's in trouble.
I don't see it though. Barney Frank, of all people, is on record in favor of online gambling, and whatever ban is proposed is going to have to get through his committee.

 

It's already banned and illegal. People like this and myself still play, though.

 

Too late. Douche Frist pressed this through in a midnight session, attached to the Ports Security bill.

Bushies are looking to be certain to pin the tail on the banks to enforce it before they (the Bushies, not the banks) slither back into the
primordal ooze.

 

That's what I'm thinking. Since you can't play online poker without first giving the site money, I'm assuming he'll have a $600 charge on next month's credit card statement that he can't easily pay off. This is a good lesson for him, to pay $50 a month and see the outrageous interest charges he piles up.

What are they charging these days, 18 percent? 20? 22?

 

Would it have been too much to ask to have port security included in the port security bill?

 

Jesus Christ

Arizona State fucking laughs at this gambling probe.

Shit, Frieder was a card counter.

 

If they are gambling, on anything, they don't need to be playing college athletics.

 

Gee, Wally, lets take morals and ethics back to the 1950s
