The Madness of March can become Habitual, enjoy responsibly.


The American Gaming Association (AGA) estimates that Americans will wager more than $10 billion on the upcoming 2018 NCAA men’s basketball tournament. Of that $10 billion, only about $300 million – or three percent – will be wagered legally through Nevada sports books.


“Our current sports betting laws are so out of touch with reality that we’re turning tens of millions of Americans into criminals for the simple act of enjoying college basketball,” said Geoff Freeman, president and CEO of the American Gaming Association. “The failed federal ban on sports betting has created an illegal, unregulated sports betting market that offers zero consumer protections and generates zero revenue for state and tribal governments.

Could be worse. We could of try to completely regulate it and let the government become the Gambling Mafia. Give em more incentive to take what doesn’t belong to them.

“Keep the government out of my pocket, my bedroom, my doctors office, my hospital and my church.”

Liberty for All. Justice for the Guilty.
