A time to give thanks for: Online Betting!

According to research, Gambling reaches an all-time high over the Thanksgiving period.

Thanksgiving Day sees more betting action on football games. Many college students take a break from their studies by heading to Las Vegas or Atlantic City to release and relieve some of their schoolbook stress. Others go home to find that while they were gone, slot parlors were approved and new casinos opened up, like in Hollywood, Florida and Pennsylvania.

Even online casinos see a rise in bets and total wagers through the end of the year. "This is typically our busiest time of the year," says one Internet casino manager. "I don't know why people love to gamble during the holidays... but it is something real and it happens every year."

It’ll be interesting to see whether this betting culture will subside with the new anti-gambling laws set in place by George W.

Personally, I think that harmless pastimes like betting on your favorite team on Thanksgiving Day or spending some of your hard-earned money on online slots or poker is non of the government’s damn business.

Next, they’ll want to tell me which brand of toilet paper to buy….

Anyhow…. Happy Thanksgiving and good luck with the bets!
