Blog assignment #6

There is a new craze on the Internet with the advent of online poker. Three are so many sites devoted to this fun like http://www.mybookie.com http://www.pokerroom.com http://www.partypoker.com and http://www.monacogoldcasino.com/index2.php. All of these sites make you pay some sory of money to play poker online and eventually in the long run loose you money. To find these sites just search for anything that you want to play and you get a list of like a million hits. As far as I know of theses sites are legal because they are based out of the country where the laws don’t apply as strongly. Simply base the company out of country and let the internet connect people everywhere. Most of these sites seem, like most gambling associations, that they just want to drain your money, which of course is the only reason to start one. Most of them play fancy games like flashing graphics of saying how much people have won in the past but my favorite way is how they all show that millions of people are in the system which almost promises that there will always be people to play with. There are some warning in these sites mostly I say things like links to gambling problem web pages. I’m sure this in only for liability reasons like when you hear advertisements for real casinos they always refer to 1-800 bets off. These always make me laugh because it is just a stupid ploy used so they don’t get sued, the people who run business like these don’t really care about how much money you loose if anything I’m sure they are thrilled when people spend all their money, but I cant really be mad at companies like that because to be honest the players are giving them money. Some people say that it is an addiction, but to be completely honest I don’t care, its not a physical addiction like cigarettes its just a mental one and I think that if people wanted to get over it they could but they have decided that gambling their life away is more important then anything. some could say that these place just prey on the week but in that logic it doesn’t make them any worse then any other land based casino just that they are easier to got to. and then I guess I’m back to talking about Americans are lazy and overweight. Well now that I’m back to the same old rant I will just conclude by saying that there is no problem with online gambling as long as you don’t cheat and you play responsibly.
