The bookmakers were the ones with the most funding and self-interest to engage in lobbying. They didn't do it. And can't say I blame them as it likely would have been a waste of money for a losing cause. For the bettors to do it now probably is too little too late. There aren't enough of us.
Hartley is right in that much of this is about morality. But would you want gambling dollars flowing to terrorists on your watch! This is what some gov't officials fear. It is a cover your ass game! |
