Should You Quit Your Day Job? — Part II

The pressure on the US is to relax current laws. In the end, the people of the US have the loudest voice, and there is nothing the gov't will do to restrict an activity engaged in by the masses.

The article went on....

"But City sceptics will say the company is joining the blue chip index with fresh questions over its credibility as a serious home for investment by pension funds.

Its flotation prospectus contained 30 pages of "risk factors", mostly related to the legality of online gambling in the US, where the group makes 86% of its revenues.

None of PartyGaming's multi-millionaire foursome, who collectively still have majority control of the company, spoke out to defend the timing of the flotation yesterday."

Needless to say, it's trading 10% lower than it's flotation level.

Irresponsible gambling is bad... grinding out profits in online poker is good! Bet with your head, not over it!

I was merely presenting a very possible, "logical" response after reading one of these articles by the people who push hardest for policy change in gaming: the Christian Right. I even feel strongly that this will be a bipartisan effort. Go to google news and type "youth poker addiction." This is what people read. I am very happy that you grind it out. I've said in one of these posts that it's the greatest life ever.


People that play poker do not drive policy, they drive Pontiacs. On election day, they are playing poker, not voting. Who's applying this pressure, anyway? Some college kid who thinks he can win the WSOP or the billions of people who beat online poker?
