Just saw a headline on Bloomberg.

Interesting, although they really shot themselves in the foot last year with the whole cheating scandal.  I don't know if they will be able to fully recover as I expect the government to eventually crack down like they did on online poker.  Either that, or online poker will become legal.  It's the same exact concept, you are playing against other people in a game of "skill".

There are people that still take part in this racket?

Makes sense. It would be good for them to reduce costs of trying to beat each other in market share and apply those resources to their legal battles.

Hey great!  Now maybe they can show 100 commercials during each football game instead of the usual 50.  Nothing like over saturating the market with noise.

Just trying to scratch the last little bit of profit out of the racket.
