Jay, my argument was that the more exemptions they throw in there, the more watered down the law becomes and gives fodder to the Barney Franks of the government who can argue that the bill is meaningless due to the number of things that are allowed.

Also, if they say poker is allowed because "it's a game of skill" then it allows the argument that sports handicapping involves skill also.

Mind you in a way I agree with you. The PPA would be happy to sell out all sportsbetting if it meant saving poker.
