Online Gambling Could Be Ratified In Pennsylvania As Soon As TODAY
PA – After months of inactivity, online gambling has resurfaced as a hot topic in the Pennsylvania Legislature. The state appears very close to passing an online gambling bill, and movement could be seen as early as this week. After making tremendous progress on online gambling over the course of 2015, iGaming legalization and regulation has been out of sight and out of mind in the Pennsylvania Legislature over the course of 2016. However, State Representative John Payne has dutifully kept the bill, HB 649, active, and capable of being acted upon at a moment’s notice. It appears that moment could be now. From the beginning, Rep. Payne has indicated that his online gambling bill, HB 649, would be used to help close the state’s pension deficit. Payne firmly believes if the revenue from HB 649 – which has since morphed into a more comprehensive gaming reform bill – is not used to close the pension shortfall, the legislature will be forced to raise taxes at some point down the road, something he and his colleagues are loathe to do. This may be Payne’s plan for the bill, but other lawmakers seem intent on using the revenue generated by HB 649 (a number Payne puts in the $300 million – $400 million range) to help hash out a budget agreement between the legislature and Governor Tom Wolf. If the latest developments on this front are correct, HB 649 could get a vote in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives as soon as today, and both sides might get their wish, as it now appears the legislature is trying to tie all of these things together.

And there you have it. Everything is spelled out in the Podcast, and I have no shot. If you think I’m bluffing it’s pretty much all laid out in the statistics. The two names I played under the most were Smitty1581 for Pokerstars and MonkeyFunMan (WTF was I thinking with that one?) on Fulltilt, but in reality I was playing under my girlfriend’s and friend’s accounts, too, to try and get the most out of deposit bonuses and such. That doesn’t even include Bodog/AP/UB/PartyPoker and other sites. So basically once the itch needs to be scratched it’ll be farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies for Smitty.
That being said, I’m still accepting any and all backers if you want a guaranteed* ROI of 4,000%. Now we play the waiting game…
*I also guaranteed to you the Eagles will win the NFC East and to my mother I would make something out of my life one day. Would still hammer the odds on the former happening over the latter.
