On line casino operators are missing the obvious way around the ban. They need to call their betting rooms, "Stock Brokerages". It's "immoral" to bet on the outcome of the roll of the dice or the turn of the cards, so just "have analysts advise" that "Company A" is going to make record profits for a given period over "Company B." Then the whole betting process "becomes less risky." "Gamblers" become "investors" and everything stays nice and "clean and moral."

And by the way onlime gamblers. Stop your evil ways, you are syphoning money away from state lotteries and church BINGO halls with their horrible odds!
