Editorial: The Craziness of this Gambling Industry
20 July 2006
Just as I finished reading all the news reports on the investigation of BetonSports in the United States, I received information from bwin (formerly BetandWin) concerning its gross gaming revenue margin from sports betting operations of the World Cup Soccer. It was 6.7 percent--well below the range obtained in the previous quarters of between 8 percent and 10 percent. This amazed me because the first results show that the WC in Germany had a turnover of more then twice the turnover for the 2002 tournament.»

Bill Analysis: HR 4411
19 July 2006
On July 11, 2006, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 317-93 to pass the Internet Gambling Prohibition and Enforcement Act (HR 4411). The bill is the newly combined works by Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., and Jim Leach, R-Iowa. One observation from the passage of this bill is that good bill drafting was not a prerequisite to passage. The bill is a mess. It is the result of what happens when two Congressmen cannot get past their own agendas and agree on the language of a prohibition bill. Whether Internet gambling should be regulated or prohibited is a policy issue that can be debated. This bill is an abomination of the legislative process. It is everything that could be perceived as what not to do in drafting legislation. It is in short: repetitive, inconsistent, verbose, cryptic, and poorly written.»
