Never forget that our country was partly founded on intolerance of the intolerance our founders' religious intolerance.

Different states have different laws. It's a soft version of different countries with different laws. Nevada (where Las Vegas hails) absolutely has different laws about gambling than the majority of the country.

Prostitution, too. I think Nevada is the only state that allows it, and only in a certain city/area, but I'm no BunnyRanch expert to be honest.

Is Vegas, or was it, the only state where gambling is completely legal then? And does this include online gambling? How would/do they police that? How can they?

Vegas is a city in the state of Nevada. It's not the only state where gambling is legal but it's the gambling state. What other states' laws are I and most of the rest of the country don't even know, but we all assume that Nevada is the most liberal. At the very least it's the home of the city that's the home of gambling and vice.

The nationwide legalized sports betting is going to have lots of little things that increase the house edge more than Vegas or a bookie who uses Vegas as a guideline.

There’s going to be charges to transfer funds. A fee to run the app. The NBA is already talking about skimming 1% off all bets in the arenas. Just FYI losing 1% of the house edge is devastating long term.

The gambling commission in Nevada protects gamblers from ridiculous house edges.

I looked into betting online but from what I could find (and you have to consider bank transfer fees) my bookie - well he doesn’t gouge you with hidden fees.

The fantasy football sites employees were using data from their own sites to cheat on other sites. I hate fantasy football but just saying that the new big gambling industry isn’t necessarily any better.

Had I won my last bet I would’ve picked up $645 today nothing deducted. No bull****. Cash in pocket probably with a free beer thrown on top. That was a fair bet. I lost but it was fair and square.

It's like cigarettes, alcohol. crack, heroin, 'The Real Housewives of Little Rock', etc. A substance and/or habit that sustains a physical and/or mental addiction.

Si.

This, we've all accepted. That fact that he relishes in it so gleefully is what I can't wrap my head around.

J'all are just jealous.

EXHAUSTED.

Going to take a big hit selling the Winnie. Knew that possibility going in.

Winnie: $32,000

Rent for 7 months in SD (low ball): $1,800 x 7 = $12,600

Selling price for the Winn: $20,000


Bottom line: pretty much a break even. I'm good with that.
