You would think that the police and the Feds have more important things to deal with than trying to bust poker players and sports bettors. With all the heinous crimes committed in this country everyday, I just can't understand why authorities waste time with people who enjoy gambling.

Due to the popularity of poker, the US will soon have to decide one way or the other what they want to do with online gambling. Its going to come down to them not being able to control it, so they will regulate and tax it. There's been a number of WTO and World Court rulings against the US on gambling cases and eventually, they will have to address this gray area of the law.
