    Question Just saw a commericial for an online gaming site for horse racing?

    Am I missing something...i just saw a commericial for a site called www.youbet.com. I checked it out and it looks like a real gaming site. I thought this stuff was illegal?

    youbet is only licensed in a few states also, xpressbet is the one that is licensed in the most states though. Youbet is good but they aren't in an awful lot of states though.

    It's actually a little-known fact that betting on horse racing actually isn't addictive. So that's why the republicans let us do it, and didn't include it in the new law.

    Yes, he's being sarcastic. Actually, horse racing is worse as far as losing money. At least with a game, you have to wait a few hours for the results. If you bet horses all day, you can lose everything pretty quick.

    The reason that horse racing is not addictive is that the National Racing Association has made some hefty political contributions.

    If you want to see fixed races, come to Fairmount Park in Collinsville Illinois. I'd be willing to say that something is fishy in 20% of those races. It is amazing how crooked Fairmount is. What's also amazing is that the State of Illinois does nothing about it. I've always viewed the Chicago race tracks as being pretty legit yet Fairmount is awful. I just wish I knew what races were and were not fixed @ Fairmount so I could get in on the party!!!!
