Not really sports related but gambling related.

The American government passed legislation Tuesday that would prevent gamblers from using credit cards to bet online and could block access to gambling Web sites.
I saw on tv last night the owner of mobog.com saying he would more or less go under is this bill was passed.
Is it a good or bad thing, is there really that much of a danger to people by being able to gamble online.

well, gambling is illegal in the states unless it´s licensed e.g. in Vegas or Atlantic city or down at the tracks.

Even the Friday night game of poker in your mate´s kitchen is illegal.

If people want to gamble let them gamble.
