In 2015, will offshore sportsbetting by better or worse for USA citizens?

Depends,If Obama real screws up Bad and we get another "jesus freak" coming out of the right you might see all forms of censorship on the web,BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW THAT PLAYING POKER AND BETTING ON SPORTS LEADS TO GAY MARRIAGE ABORTIONS-just look at JJ
but honestly
I think as the baby boomers die off and this church nonsense we have been force feed to make up for the guilt they feel over the "free-sex" and drugs of the 60's we will see a new breed of GOV'T out of our personal business.The right that won't care what we do on the web as long as they get a cut
If Obama get another 4 years and I expect he will(As former Philadelphia mayor Frank Rizzo said they will come out of the wood work to vote)
I expect more of the same-"sneaking/skirting" to get money on and offshore

What does US citizenship have to do with it?

Residency in the USA causes the problems, not citizenship, you dumb fvcking American.

It will be no different. 2015 isn't far enough away. The day will come where it is regulated and taxed in the US, but I think we are at least a decade away from that.

I guess this would be along the lines of my thoughts also..............

I don't really know, I don't really care that much - although it might affect some other countries that would still think of big America as a "rolemodel", haha.

Pointless question 5 years away

Hmmm poker will have just been legalized and next up is online casinos. Sports and sportsbooks will be basically unchanged although the future will look better because of the move to legalize online casinos.

Lets wait and see if New Jersey and Delaware have any luck in getting the federal ban overturned

What really hurts sports betting is the leagues ganging up and lobbying against it.

Sports betting advocates should start lobbying the players union to fight for it or at least not oppose it.

All coming but sports will be last probably in 10-15 years.

As usual, wtf posts something incorrect, obscene, and off topic. Shocking.

Obviously, you weren't around before the UIGEA passed and have absolutely zero knowledge of how much that impacted sports markets worldwide.

floridagolfer · 02-23-10, 07:37 AM

Sooner or later, the idiots in Congress will see how much money it can rake in and things will change. Your guess is as good as mine as to when that will eventually happen.

My Man.....that couldn't be farther from the truth.

Brooks · 02-23-10, 07:42 AM

im not even sure americans will have the purchasing power to even worry about the question by then. money will be spent on food, energy and new taxes, not offshore gambling or poker.

Fishhead · 02-23-10, 07:46 AM

My main concern right now is that it actually DOESN'T GET WORSE THEN IT IS RIGHT NOW, more so then if it will improve.

That's pretty sad, but true.

Grind House · 02-23-10, 08:01 AM

Anybody heard about **** not allowing charges for betting anymore? http://bit.ly/b0TmBA

ryanspeer2001 · 02-23-10, 08:04 AM

I honestly believe that if you had asked this question 2 years ago I could project that it will be worse for the US citizen. But with our country having so many domestic crisis's that the issue you will remain largely untouched for a while. The industry should be the same.

KC · 02-23-10, 08:11 AM

Hopefully better, I would think the few elite books continue to do well and find ways around the nonsense and smaller books will disappear.

MonkeyF0cker · 02-23-10, 08:14 AM

You want the small books around though. Efficiency is your enemy.

jjgold · 02-23-10, 08:17 AM

I think there will be some sort of legalization by then in usa but we will still have the big offshore outfits to bet with.

Grind House · 02-23-10, 08:20 AM

The world ends in 2012. Don't know where the fuk you fellas been.

whatsgood5 · 02-23-10, 08:30 AM

Hopeful better, but we'll see

In 2012, Obama and the "know nothing - do nothing" Democrats will be out on their fat asses, and by 2015 President Kyl will have locked up all the degenerages on this forum for illegal betting.

...your national anthem will be "Arizona uber alles" ...

patswin · 02-23-10, 09:04 AM

hopefully by then it will be legalized
