That said, New York seems to have found a way of ensuring that citizens of its state have great difficulty in placing bets offshore. According to 5 separate readers of my columns that live in New York State, they have noted that telephone calls to most 1-800 numbers for sportsbooks from the state of New York are not connected and ISPs from New York seem to have achieved great success at blocking access to gambling sites. In fact one reader stated that he lived in Massachusetts and had no trouble placing wagers offshore, but since he moved to New York he has given up trying to connect to a site or phone in.

Thats gotta suck...

Anyone from from NY?
