Even though everyone thinks this is a huge step backwards it really isn't.
I believe the govt will open the doors to online poker and want a clean sheet to make sure the new sites are a success.
They will probably grant licenses to the major casino operators and deny licenses to those that have federal indictments in their applications. Hint Hint
By legalizing it without punishing those that did not obey the law you essentially rewarded these companies for not playing by the book, and punished those that did and pulled out of the US market.
Now that the US wants to start fresh this is the only way to do it. I just hope those casino's that get the license actually run a legit poker room.

B. The Recreational Pro

This guy probably use to be a degenerate and knows sports gambling inside out. (This is what I would like to be, best way to be successfull and fly under the radar.)
C. The life long loser and the 16 year old kid
This type is the same type just fast forward the years. The kids placing $25 bets and 6 team parlays thinking he knows how to cap because he went on one run. This guy is no different than that 50 year old drunk you meet at the sportsbook who's been betting everyday for the last 20 years and has nothing. He's hoping his 6 teamer will come through so he can have a bankroll but it never does 5 of 6 with the -300 fav losing outright to cost him. You feel bad for this guy and hope its never you, the teenager usually gets in o... [More]
