Re:On-Line Gambling
On-Line Gambling, particularly amongst college students has definitely reached new heights in recent years. Like Marc, I also have numerous friends that play Texas Hold ‘em, which is what all some of the news is geared towards. I think this is both good and bad in some respects. For example, Bush’s new law is probably going to make a lot of college students go to class since there is no incentive to skip class to make money playing poker. I also have a couple of friends who have lost hundreds in betting on football games, but they were rooting for the Steelers, so maybe they deserved to lose money. On the other hand, a lot of sites are losing money, and a really good friend of mine graduated from Case as an engineer, but retired at the ripe old age of 23 to play poker on-line and in casinos for the rest of his life. He was making $5,000-30,000 a month playing poker, but I think he is probably going to do some honest work now as an engineer.
