Bet on Horses Article

In the races of chance the computer would have more control over the outcome as opposed to the player therefore this race is viewed as a bet on horses and it should be banned. So of these two activities which one is a bet on horses and which one isn’t? Well according to the Wire Wager Act, betting on sports online is the only form of online wagering that is a bet on horses.

This simply means that it is therefore a bet on horses for an American based internet company to accept bets or provide other online races. However, the majority of these internet-based companies which operate online are located offshore which makes it impossible for the US government to stop them from operating. Therefore the second question would be "is gambling online a bet on horses even if the online race course is located offshore."

Well technically it is a bet on horses but because it is being operated from an area which considers it legal, it would be very difficult to enforce the Wire Wager Act. In closing it is this player's belief that while the government simply wants to protect its citizens by prohibiting online gambling they are doing us all a disservice by leaving us open to the temptation of playing at unregulated a bet on horses race courses that might in fact be swindling honest gamblers of their money.

Instead they should legalize it but put strict regulations in place to prevent the negative aspects, like the computer program that runs a bet on horses races being skewed in the bookie's favor, from taking place.
