I made bets all day Sunday......I mistakenly cliked on Louisiana in the box that wants to know my present location. Dont know if that mistake will work again or if I want to deal with it anymore....more frustration :mad:

They are just worried about your present location. If you are logging in out-of-state but have residence in Texas, this is allright. At least that is the explanation BetAmerica told me.

The court opinion is amazing...http://blogs.courier-journal.com/hor...t-decision.pdf

This is my favorite quote:

"Gambling has always been addictive, but before the internet, at least the
addicts had to go to the trouble of driving somewhere to place his bet. The internet allows the addict to get his fix 24/7/365, all without leaving the comfort of his own home."

This is just nuts. Heaven forbid that they outlaw pizza and chinese food delivery too to combat obesity.

umm. there are some people that would like to do just that.

In case you haven't read this, need to read the post comments as well. Interesting spots

Churchill Downs have filed an appeal.

Thanks for the post Heli.....

It won't matter.. they are just spinning their wheels.

i'm not so sure. this would be like the state saying you had to go to wal-mart, that you couldn't shop from a dot com website.

This is Texas we're talking about :D

They are shooting themselves in the foot.

I dont expect much from the appeal.
The courts will probably outlaw horse race gambling in-person as well than reverse their decision on online gambling.

If it wasn't so true it would be funny. Happy New Year Laura!

Why cant CD set up a texas based shop like NJBets for TVG in New Jersey?

See arletta's note below :D

Yup. It is Texas thats for sure.
I would leave Texas if it werent for its abundance of jobs in oil/gas and medical fields, good neighborhoods and and no state income tax. There is no such thing as a perfect place.

Same to you Billie :)

Each side's arguments.

Court upheld decision for the Racing Commission as expected. Texas still on-track wagering only.
