On-line gambling is not legal in the US.  Many on-line casinos will not deal with US customers because of the new law.  I've never heard of an on-line casino that allowed you to bet before depositing the money in an account at the casino.  That way you have already paid before you lose the money.\n\nBTW, what does this question have to do with taxes?

Yes, but just like Wildheart said, as long as you can control your gambling.  (Because if you can't, there will be no retirement and no home...!!!)\n\nThe state of Nevada has no state income tax, so you get to keep more of your retirement income to spend.  Las Vegas has 335 sunny day a year, among best cities for Food and Entertainment, at very reasonable cost.  Housing are still\naffordable in comparison to California.

Last year I turned 21 and we went to Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun for the weekend and stayed at a bed & breakfast close by.  It was so much fun and I pretty much broke even with the money I spent on suviners and what not.  \n\nI don't know where you're from but going to a casino by you is always something you can do as long as you know when to stop lol.

HELL NO!!! Use that money to repair the stuff in New Orleans, or get ready for disasters. There's other money making ideas out there. Most sports owners are corrupt, and it would be way unfair to the public if their tax dollars are going to fund some sports arena. What if they don't like sports???

ONE of Australia's biggest league clubs, Souths Juniors, has lost its tax-free status after a tribunal found its main activity was gambling rather than sport.\n\nThe court decided its operation of a "miniature Las Vegas" overtook its support for junior rugby league or the NRL's South Sydney Rabbitohs.\n\nThe decision, which is a victory for the taxman, could affect 3000 clubs nationwide as it threatens the privileged tax status of the clubs industry.

Good question, I think the only reason is because overall most poeple in the nation (now I'm not saying all, and the numbers are dwinding) don't want a nation of gamblers.  Not to mention it would have a bad effect on the state lotteries already in place creating revinue for the states.

I don't think that it should be a Gov't choice...It should be the owner of the property choice....I have yet to be somewhere where smoke bothered me because most places are non smoking...bars here in Ohio aren't most anyway...and that doesn't bother me at all...maybe the next day after smelling my clothes and hair but my breath probably stinks just as bad after a night of drinks.  This is just a way of people controlling and getting money...one of the issues on the ballot if you read closely says money for the "clean air fund"...if they band smoking why would you need a clean air fund...and what on earth are you going to do with that money?  I prefer my money to go to my child's college fund...but If this passes I won't have a choice will I?

Absolutely.With guidlines, such as they cannot ply their trade on the streets, pay taxes just like all working people and operate out of a house(brothel).It works great in Nevada.It would also be safer for the girls since they wouldn't be on the street.I also think that its better for the public as long as there is a 'red-light district' instead of them invading neighbourhoods where kids go to school and bringing property down. No one want to look out and see a hooker do her business out their window.I beleive everyone would win if it was legalized.

Yes I will take it!!!!  \nFirst i'd like to know what the winning lottery numbers are and buy a ticket.  Upon winning I'll see which stocks will do good in the future and invest half my winnings on those stocks.  Then I will look to see what my ex-wife plans are to screw me over in the future and put a stop on it.  Next I'll find out what future plans the terrorists have and try to put a stop on that.  Then I'll see what future natural disasters will happen and warn the people that will be affected.  \n\nOn second thougth that is a lot of responsibilty so NO I will not accept this seeing the future gift thing...

No.  It shouldn't do it through the lottery either.  It's just another way to raise taxes without admitting it

I would put it down to psychology.\n\nPeople who feel they are well-off feel no need to participate in the lottery programs. While those who feel they are less than well off think "Why not bet a buck or two on the chance to make a few million?". \n\nIt would seem to make sense to me.\n\naddition: Yes Matt - agreed. I just didn't state it as eloquently. Feeling 'no need to participate' is as you say related to education, and those well off tend to have a better education.
