i think they are on the same side. Remember in 1990's - 2006. Money was flying down to CR and other places and w. bush put in the law to stop the easy banking. It was so easy to play with the books & banks back then. Pinny , cris. greek were a dream it was so good. This was IMO was the height of sports betting.
it was absolutely phenomenal. neteller for seamless transax & every book in the world begging you to play, especially pinny. they didn't care about steam or anything else, "just send us your money & you're good", plus super-high limits. pinny was the shit.
not sure it was bush directly, but definitely a couple of republican senators who hijacked it as a rider onto a port security bill.
ah, the glory days.
