Now, I get it! Why hasn't there been broad legalized sport gambling? It's simple. Advocates have been using
the wrong nomenclature, the wrong terminology. Instead of calling in "Sport Gambling" it should be referenced
as "Sport Trading" and having it conducted through Wall Street. This came to light today with the
announcement by a Chicago firm that they are seeking the Congressional OK for legalized trading on future
Presidential elections. This firm has opened the door to broaden such action to include all sport. There it is:
"legalized and regulated sport trading!" If Congress gives this idea the OK without the same action on sport,
there should be an all out "Occupy" protest at every OTB parlor in America! It would be warmer there, too.
