The future of online sports betting: With the government's new laws against gambling online a new group of sites are growing around the concept of "fantasy wagering"
Interesting stuff. PicksPal seems kind of cool. Of course, the problem with play gambling is that it can't help but lead to real gambling. Still, perhaps for some people is serves as enough of an alternative to quell their urges.

Very interesting stuff, indeed. I've already signed up and placed a few wagers!

thanks jerseygirl, I appreciate it. Although I don't bet real money on sports I started playing around with "fantasy wagering" and it really makes the games more fun. NBX and Wagerline are my favorites, pickspal reminds me of a game for ages 2-12.

The gambling sites will find a way around the new law, most likely creating their own offshore financing site.Neteller which is based in England is still accepting transactions from US customers.

Don't have much to say on the FPP right now, and you don't have an email listed in profile, but your FPPs have been really good lately, SDM. Bravo, dude. Sorry for my sidebar, please carry on with the discussion!
