FBI raiding illegal FAKE Book in Costa Rica.

[Big-Al]

Big-AL,

Do you want to respond to this?

Do what you like and nothing will happen. I think that the end of online gambling is coming and will be prosecutable in court or out ...how ever the US feels to do it because they have all the cards. I would say have fun while you can but the good IRS, FBI, DOJ, HLS, and so on seem to think they CAN and WILL start putting all the degenarate gamblers in jail. The only way they will accept a bet is if it is taxed and done in the states. Goerge W. Bush has taken out the Oil Machine and now looks to take out the Gambling machine, Next will be the Arms machine, all calculated and set with propaganda to back his war on ANY ONE ELSE BUT HIM SELF MAKING MONEY. The biggest casinos went first before this law was even passed now how much easier is it going to be to put all the gamblers away just like pot smokers and sex addicts. It's a fine working concept that will of course not stop with one or two books. What illegal practices are all the books in the world doing right now. DEALING WITH US CITIZENS. I gaurantee that they will not just stop at the top. Now they will sit and wait. See who is operating and simply prove that that company is still dealing with Canadians or US citizens and take all and everything away from now BOTH parties engaged in something illegal.

It's simple.

There is too much money in Gambling for it to ever go away.
This bill will do one thing. It will make us degnerates have to jump through a few more hoops then we are used to to place our bets.

In the end money rules. Always has and always will.

Way to take the IGNORANT approach

I app:massage: laud you. There is too much money... What is money. A very simple tracking device to control the world. Every dollar with the eye staring right at you. Every dollar taxed and accounted for. Every dollar counted???? Do the people who create the curency accually count it to figure out how much is missing.... No way. Not with bean counters of the 1950's, not with an abacus, but with multi-trillion dollar computers and programs that will be done before you even start your next useless thought. No we don't recognize the fact that computers and InterNET are conceps created by the US military. No they must have just come here by accident and we are in a alternate reality.... Yes that's it. Let truth be told ONLINE GAMBLING IS ILLEGAL FOR US AND CANADA. IF YOU ARE CAUGHT... MORE LIKE WHEN YOU ARE CAUGHT... they (the US GOV.) will take any and everything you own just like their shining example Sportingbet and BOS. keep on dancing.

I'm not getting into all of your other ignorant talk and military talk, and money talk, and all the other shit.

But this line is all I concern myself with.

Please show me in any law where it says it is illegal for a US or Canadian customer to place a wager. A law that shows that it is illegal for me and you to make a bet.

You're obviously proficient at copy paste. Copy paste the law for me that says US citizens cannot place any wagers over the internet, or else the US citizine is at fault.

It is illegal READ:

In its opinion, the District Court wrote,
<DL><DD>It is well-established that the First Amendment does not protect the right to advertise illegal activity... The government's interest is specifically directed towards the advertising of illegal activity, namely Internet gambling... Furthermore, the speech in which the plaintiff wishes to engage is misleading because it falsely portrays the image that Internet gambling is legal... Because plaintiff's speech concerns misleading information and illegal activities, it does not fall within the speech that is protected by the First Amendment.<SUP class=reference id=_ref-4>[5]</SUP> </DD></DL>
