I thought they were done. I think gaming operators will still show up, but only because of their ranking system. They won't take paid placements from them.
I bought USA today this past Friday to raed their Preakness coverage. There was not even one ad for offshore gambling anywhere in the sports section. I could have sworn that I had seen it there in the past, but it has been awhile since I bought one.
Yet I continue to hear Tony Mercurio of 1310AM advertise for pinnacleracebook.com (7% bonus).
So that's what all that gambling stuff was --Picking Winners--Handicapping websites. Think you are right Just do It. Now since Vegas is the only place in the US where that is legal--they sure must have had a lot of folks interested " news matter only".
