Save me from myself! Oh thank heavens for our hard-working Congressmen! I guess I'll send money orders or lump-sum cash via courier service to gambling sites now to feed my addiction.

I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100. Guess the correct number and I'll pay you 10,000 to 1 odds.

Place your bet.

Headline: Congress bans internet gambling

"The bill.... would make it illegal for banks and credit card companies to make payments to online gambling sites."

Could somebody square the headline with the text of the article for me?
Thanks.

Too late. Betting on that event is now closed.

But here's a more favorable bet. I'm thinking of a number that is between one and ten. Guess correctly and I'll pay 1,000,000 to 1 odds.

DangIt!

Now I have to drive a whole mile to the Cherokee Casino to gamble.

From yourself... err no, from ourselves too. This is a major mafia spigot.

You give them way too much credit. You can still gamble online as long as it's local-based, i.e. your local horsetrack. You can also still walk in to a casino and gamble.

My friend, we need to lobby harder, because they HAVEN'T done enough to save you from yourself. As long as you are able to gamble on a state lottery, drop some money at the local horsetrack, go play a pick-up game at a neighbor's, they haven't done enough to protect you from yourself!!!!

Congress only did what their lobbyists wanted them to, I mean, they only partially looked out for your interests.
