Internet Gambling Woes...

Won't affect us. Horse racing isn't gambling... by that, I mean that gambling (sports book, casino games) are legal only in NV and NJ, whereas parimutuel betting is legal in 44 or 45 of the 50 states. You already are allowed (if you live in one of the states where it's legal) to get a phone account for the placement of bets, and you're allowed to bet over the internet (http://www.youbet.com , my father-in-law uses it.)

So while casino games will be taboo for a while (ditto sports book), I don't forsee any problems with TVGIA's horse racing channel, so this court case shouldn't affect us at all.
