J. Todd,
He really has few cards to play at this point (no pun intended), since the bill is now law. He’s playing the “Poker is a skill game” hand right now, and the incorporation of casino games and backing, waters down that argument, in his estimation.
I read an interesting article mentioning the skill game argument, from a reputable gaming attorney type:
http://www.gambling-law-us.com/Articles-Notes/unlawful-internet-gambling-act.htm
and I agree. Some of these large Poker outfits should get off their ass, and somehow hire the best mathematical minds in the country to try and promote this argument.
At this point, all looks quite bleak, so trying to get a piece back may make more sense than going after the whole pie.
Just a thought, and either way, this entire nightmare stinks !!!!!!!!
