How can online Sports betting help your economy?

If online gambling were legalized in the United States by letting las Vegas based casino's go virtual this would help give our down economy a kick start. In the past few years online gambling has increased by more than 30% each year since 1985 when the first online sports book hit the internet and has grown to more than $800 billion dollars according to (The Gambling News Team) if all winnings of more than $600.00 were taxed by the I.R.S at the time of the winner cashed ticket would give our government 28% of each winning ticked cashed would do wonders for our economy and not to mention Vegas. There should be a ban for all U.S. Citizens to place a bet with any casino that is not approved by the Las Vegas Gambling Commission and with further restrictions on underage gambling on-line by verifying a new account by Drivers License and Bank Account verification by the casino. All non U.S. Clients that bet on-line both onshore or off will be taxed same as any U.S. Citizens. I am the Co-Chairman of The Parlaywheel.com and we have noticed the increase of our new members in the last few weeks just because of our slow economy and according to some of our new members comments has never bet on sports since their college days to win extra money or for fun are now playing to supplement their income. Many U.S.Citizens would rather bet with a Casino based in Las Vegas according to our members and sports betting forums becasue of the likeness of scams with some online casino's that opperate outside of U.S.Jurdiction. Let me know what you think I would love your feedback.

What is the nature of a gambling addiction?

A gambling addiction is no different than any other addiction. Sometimes people are too immature, narcissistic and selfish to deal with their problems. Or, sometimes people are just too psychologically damaged, and their psyches simply aren't strong enough to withstand it and cope with it, or they don't have enough support from friends and family. Or more than one (or all) of these things can be true.

Whatever the reason, the person feels bad. Addictive behaviors like drugs or gambling provide short-term pleasure. The long-term consequences are terrible, but sometimes when people feel really bad all the time, they will do anything to feel good for just a little while.

Be it gambling, drugs, or compulsive shopping, or compulsive exercise, or whatever else, it makes them feel great for a little while. Drugs get you high. Gamblers experience a high, too, when they're playing. Rather than chasing the dragon, they're chasing the next big win. They feel a rush of excitement and anticipation, each time they make a bet.

Compulsive shoppers experience the, "high of the buy." When they find something they like -- and especially if they can get a bargain on it -- they feel the same kind of excitement and anticipation that gamblers feel. They feel almost euphoric, like a person who is high on heroin or cocaine or speed would feel.

The only way to recover from an addiction is to learn to deny yourself the short-term pleasure, in favor of the long-term reward. Drugs may make you feel great right now, but in the long run, you're miserable. Denying yourself drugs may mean that you feel bad now, but that doesn't mean you won't feel much happier in the future.

Gambling addicts (and compulsive shoppers) throw away all their money and ruin both their careers and all their relationships with their friends, family and spouses, the same way that drug addicts do. Quitting and recovering from the addiction means that you have a steady job to make you feel worthwhile and useful, money to support yourself, and having your friends and family want to be around you again.

What is your attitude toward gambling?

I believe that gambling should be entirely legalized, but zoned properly. People are going to gamble, and I would prefer that the profits go to the government or legitimate business owners, as opposed to the criminal element associated with underground establishments.

But this is just one opinion.

To see some arguements for both sides, see the Related Link below.

Where does the tax money from gambling go?

Casinos are a business and there to make money so all the money you see on the casino floor goes to the running of the casinos and the investors. A bit goes to pay off the machines and games to people who win and some to taxes. It is no mistake that casinos are on Native American reservations because that is federal land with less or no taxes and they get to do things that if they were off the reservation that they wouldn't get to do normally. Some money does go to states to help support things like education or to sponsor teams and arenas.

What does pocket snowman mean?

Where could one go Sports Betting?

You can bet legally at licensed Nevada Sports Books, and illegally with bookies in virtually every town. Most of the following describes the ins and outs of gambling at sports books. There are two points worth noting here. First, Nevada Sports Books can set up phone accounts, but will not accept wagers across state lines. Second, odds with illegal bookies are often worse than those one can get in Nevada.

Betting with offshore (international) sports books seems to be on the rise, and promises to spread from phone services to internet based online services. From the point of view of bets and odds offered, these books are similar to licensed Nevada Sports Books. The legality of these services is, at best, ambiguous. There are claims and opinions on all sides of the argument, but few legal precedents. In addition, some offshore books are run by old trustworthy firms, some are fly-by-night scams, and many are somewhere in between. Cavaet Bettor.

The last way (and other than in state Nevada betting the only other clearly legal way) to bet on sports in the US is the Oregon Lottery. This was described as follows in a rec.gambling post: The Oregon lottery is alive and well as far as football betting. The game is called sports action. The line is set by Jim Feist. It is set and printed on Wednesday and does not change. This can work to the bettor's advantage due to changes in team lineups due to injuries and such. The minimum wager is $2.00 and the minimum number of games bet is 3. The payoffs for a three game win is $5.00 per dollar wagered. Four games gets $10.00 per dollar wagered. All other wagers are paid on a paramutual fashion. For example, a seven game winner usually pays around $160 to $350. The maximum number of games that can be bet have a winner. A week or two ago $14,000 carried over in the 14 pool. There are also some games that are called special play games with over/under total score. The line seems to be fairly consistent with the Vegas line on the Wednesday that it is set.

Whether online gambling is an addiction?

It's basically what you said- an addiction to gambling. A gambling addiction goes along the lines of a shopping addiction, if you want it bad enough you will do what ever it takes until you do get it. The only difference is that with gambling you're blowing all that money based upon probability that you will win; whereas with shopping you're blowiing or spending money on some want or need you might have at that point in time. When gambling becomes an addiction with some people it no longer is about the enjoyment of the game or conversating with new people, it's about winning that money and doing what ever it takes to do so. With some people it is compulsive to put that money down, especially knowing that there is a chance that you could win.
