My gambling goes as far as the lottery. The odds are darn near impossible but I"ll sacrifice a buck for the remote chance of winning more. MY decision. Soooo... if people want to bet on sports etc. why not? It's your money. Legal or not gambling will always be around. I have access to several casinos, horse tracks and OTB venues. Have never gone to any of them. Not really being a gambler let me ask this. Would one make more in the long run gambling "under the table" or going to a "legal" venue? Eiether way it's gambling and I've seen enough of both kinds.
clembo: Well the best way is always legal. Offshore books make it possible to bet form anywhere, and avoid bookies. I personaly like exchanges where the action is between the people and the site only charges 2% to the person that accepts the bet in the form of a commision. Most places charge 10% if you lose and in Las Vages you pay them 10% just to place the bet. "illegal" gaming is really a thing of the past.
