Poker Industry Gets Nod From LA Times

When a major newspaper comes out and says "you're okay" many people consider that a ringing endorsement. In a recent article entitled "Don't Bet the House" the LA Times rang the bell quite loudly when they came out behind legalizing online gambling and poker, a move that is in direct opposition to the current heading of the Ship of State in Washington DC.The article sums up the reasoning of legislators who are seeking to enforce the illegality of online poker, but also points out the inconstancies of policies, such as ignoring online horse gambling. The Times says the major reason to regulate the industry is the ability to keep it safe for those who like to partake, as well as tapping into a $12 billion industry that is taking American money and not giving any back.
