This is very informative......TUNE IN

Will be interesting to see if these professors that are about to speak know anything.

TheGeneral+ · Oct 23, 2003

The first spokesman said you can not make it in online business if you keep scamming players. guess he never heard of ESB

Fishhead · Oct 23, 2003

That was Rep. Frank(D) from Mass.

He is definetly on OUR side. He was in the know and made sense.

Fishhead · Oct 23, 2003

Ok, the guy that just talked was basically clueless and said nothing worthwhile. Talking about the history of gambling in America.

Fishhead · Oct 23, 2003

The next professor talked about how the Stock Market was once illegal until it was deemed not gambling. Good point!

Current prof. talking sports betting.......brb

YES!! LOL!!

Bookmakers never go to jail, just have assets froze.

This guy talking now knows what he is talking about for the most part.

Fishhead · Oct 23, 2003

We should have had as many posters attend seminar wearing their RX polos!!

THE SHRINK · Oct 23, 2003

Gee,

He goes out on a limb to say there are some close ties to local bookies and offshore bookies, lol...

REALLY?

Fishhead · Oct 23, 2003

Neteller and WWTS get a plug.

DOes anyone think this will be archived on their Web site so we can watch it later? Also, I'd like to buy a videotape. Anyone think that will be available?

great updates guys!!!....I can not watch this from work

Fishhead · Oct 23, 2003

He closes by saying "not a wise decision to prohibit online gambling"

Fishhead · Oct 23, 2003

Brooklyn is being stated as the #1 city in America for illegal bookmaking.

A statement was just made that only 3 days of the year does the law enforcement in Philly concern themselves with illegal bookmaking. Another reason to love Philly!!
