i don't see this happening in the short term because there is a minority government and it would be a difficult bill to pass but if the election results in a majority next time it is held I would say there is a 70% chance that something would be brought into legislation

I think eventually other than the UK and Aussie areas online gambling will be banned all over including Canada.

Casino Windsor just open a sportsbook. I bet those who live in Detroit just love that.

casino Windsor sports book sucks. There are no straight plays. You must play parlays with a 200.00 max bet. 2 team parlay pays 2-1.

a two team parlay paying 2-1 is a total rip-off...50% rake at least for the house...complete scam...

No my money's on Djibouti, I think Djibouti will ban gambling before Canada does.

That's about -137 on the two legs, awful ! Why a $200 limit ?

I'd say it's a 25% hold, if you played all 4 ways for $100, you'd have $400 in, $300 out.

Ya, I'd say thats pertty bad bud.

I didn't know there rules were up there at all. I was just pointing out the fact that it is considered legal up there was all. However, This reminds me of some of those Indian casinos in the U.S.A... Some of those places had a $5.00 maxium on there blackjack tables.

I think you'd better include Asia in there.

the reason the odds are so bad is that the sportsbook is run by pro line. Pro line is a legal way to be on sports in canada you can do it at any variety store on most sports. The problem is the odds suck and you need to parlay.

i feel europa is going the opposite way compared to america... quite a few countries have always prohibited gambling but are being put under increasing pressure of the European Commission to open their borders because of free trade..
if the EC pushes through, hopefully Europe could go the same way as the UK..

Doug, you're good...
