Reports from the New Zealand Herald newspaper, from a survey by the Racing Board of the island nation stated that New Zealanders are gambling about NZ$40 million a week on overseas websites, almost double the amount the punters spend on the state lottery.

The Racing Board's survey found that 177 000 people or 5.7 percent of New Zealanders, are gambling on international websites, overseas lotteries and sports books. They are spending NZ$2.1 billion a year, or just under $40 million a week wagering online.

Letterman certainly has the right to 'joke' :bully:

The director of the Financial Services Regulatory Commission has been suspended from his job indefinitely for his relationship with Allen Stanford, a finance tycoon who recently has been exposed for his shady practices.

Antigua has already won a battle with the US through the World Trade Organization. They have been attempting to receive the back money owed to them from the US, but the attempts have fallen short.

Wow!That's a great news that new zealanders are also doing gambling in much proportion as the director of the Financial Services Regulatory Commission has been suspended from his job indefinitely for his relationship with Allen Stanford, a finance tycoon who recently has been exposed for his shady practices.

Christopher Kelly, a former adviser and chief fundraiser for former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, was sentenced to 37 months in prison today on federal tax fraud charges for concealing his use of corporate funds to cover gambling debts.

Kelly had faced up to 4 years in prison. He pleaded guilty to the charges in January, admitting he underreported his roofing company's profits by nearly $500,000 from 2001 through 2005.

Italy’s online gambling market is beginning to look much more solid, with licensing and taxation becoming more transparent, the product offering better, and much less concern over the country’s already large bureaucratic interference in the industry's everyday operations.

People have a right to gaming in their homes, and the federal government doesn’t have a right to enforce against that.

It's just my opinion!

The Massachusetts Treasurer told a gathering of accountants to expect lawmakers to pass some sort of legal gambling bill in the next session. Tim Cahill said in a speech to the Massachusetts Society of Certified Public Accountants that he *will be shocked* if the legislature doesn't vote to expand gambling in the next fiscal year.
