Message: [QUOTE="dj11, post: 3172959, member: 13851"] If they were to follow through with that same logic, then betting on the outcome of a poker tourney, would also be legal. The really weird thing is that the original resistance to poker, long long ago (late 1800's maybe?), was that there were sharks out there and what could the fish do? In this case the sharks were the very skilled, full time poker players. Somehow that resistance morphed into a morals issue, which then morphed into laws. Somewhere in there the lie was told, and then believed, that poker is less skill than luck. With DFS, and the way NY did it, it is probably going to be very rake heavy, and the State will benefit.
