Doubt we get any info about when the Senate will vote for record, but I assure they have strange women to be with, golf courses to visit, or fund raisers to tend to.
That should put it off awhile. I guess that they have more bills to review than SHRINK has women to choose, so it could be some time

General, with all due respect what do Clevfan & ID have to do with this bill?

Who knows what happens. Sounds like its got some strong backers on this committee. Markup matters if its contentious and there are opponents on the committee, but if there isn't much to slow it down then the opponents might sit back and let it go as is to the floor and then bring out their opposition.
Date will not be settled. What happens is that once it passes committee it becomes eligible to go to the floor. The date of that is a highly political issue, depends on what the leaders of the Senate think of the bill and how it fits into their plans. Sometimes they try to sneak it in as sort of warm-up type business when a big issue is about to hit the floor, other times they try to get it in some set of themes, ie it could be a part of a couple of anti-terrorism bills. Sometimes the leaders don't really like it so they give it a tough spot or don't even let it get to the floor. Tomorrow really isn't much of an issue and probably will tell little about what kind of battle to expect.

I have no doubt that there will be some way around this. The "digital revolution" has brought us many things (easy access to offshores among them), and it is very difficult to turn back these kinds of things.
And if it becomes too risky to play offshore...
don't forget the tried-and-true local bookie

Do you guys have more than a 2nd grade comprehension? This bill means nothing. You clowns are playing off-shore in states where it is already illegal anyway.

Chucky,
The current laws are very "fuzzy" at best as their is much debate on whether the internet is covered under the "Wire Act", the new bill if passed WILL CLEARLY make funding online betting ILLEGAL. Go ahead & gamble away ... I hope they throw you in with Kobe - you imp.

bowmans had usa phone account customers since at least 1989 so if the pass an enforceable internet law that is being enforced and has teeth i will drop the internet and just use phones. The question is which books will survive. There is no way they will lock anyone up for wagering so if you can afford a small fine than no biggie. The law will probably shake out a lot of losers looking for another reason to quit so some books will close.
I cannot believe you guys. In fact, I do not believe you guys. You will still gamble. Come on. Chuck is right, this bill does little and apparently has no enforcement provisions against the bettor so you won't be doing anything illegal that you weren't before. It may make funding a little more difficult, but only losers need to fund anyway....all you winners out there already have the money you need so it's just a matter of collecting winnings when they come in, right? I think you quitters are in the minority.
