    If the US legalized online sports wagering for all states... and there was accurate data that showed where the money would be coming in... All you would have to do is fade the public. This would open up doors to the novice gambler and the experienced one should capitalize on it. You could easily build your bankroll... so what if we paid tax on it. That's how greedy the US govt is... (they just want extra money flow coming in... easily tip a game) it would be open season for experienced cappers... FADE FADE FADE... win win win for the first half a year at least.

    Unfortunately sports wagering is not affected by this.

    Legally speaking no, but it could open back up the doors for much easier transactions between the player and the book. The books could just use the same payment processors they would use for poker for sports. How great would it be to be able to send and receive money in a timely fashion again.

    Once banks, ewallets, ************ and ** etc don't need to police transactions anymore, you will see some books come back to the USA market. Money will move much easier. Then online sports books will find their way back to "legality" due to the governments continued need for revenue to buy votes. This little crack in the dam is a good thing.
