Re: For those who think internet poker is going to burst
[ QUOTE ]
How come every article that comes out in a non poker/gambling publication is always bad news. For once I would like a newspaper article to talk to guys/gals that are living a nice life off of online poker/gambling.

Welcome to the real world. There are many, many, many more people who lose money gambling than who are "living a nice life off" it.

All we read about is how Little Ricky lost all his money while he was underage and gambling.

This stuff is really happening. Should newspapers all refuse to report on it? Should we work together to suppress anyone finding out about the fact that some people lose money gambling since it might hurt our bottom line?

All the casinos are in "cahoots" to keep articles like this one in the paper

These articles are bad for b&m casinos even though they are about online casinos. Reinforcing the idea that gambling is addictive and destructive is not what casinos want, regardless of where they are located. They want gambling to be associated with harmless fun.
