The next governor of Texas will have a major problem on his hand. A $20 billion budget shortfall. That’s right: $20 billion.

This is kind of interesting. You know all about prohibitions against Americans setting up offshore gambling businesses. Everyone else in the world, it seems, can do it. But not Americans.

A friend, Abe, sent me an interesting cli from the New York Times, which I think is not just a fun angle on gambling moments…but kind of instructive.

N.J. Casinos Set to Fight Against Online Gambling

Here’s the deal. New Jersey seems poised to become the FIRST state to legalize online poker …. at least within the state.
