The transformation brought about by the Internet is amazing. The change involves not just good but also bad outcomes such as online gambling. The gambling on the internet involves hundreds of thousands of people and billions of dollars. The online gambling business makes money by exploiting human weakness. It is not just individuals who are losers, but the United States of America too, as online gambling drains the national wealth.
It is a good bet that there is almost no chance of any gambler winning at online gambling, which are controlled by online casinos outside the juristiction of the United States. The US government does not protect online gamblers, they are on their own. The casinos are always the winners while the gamblers are always the losers. It's easier for online casinos to control the games without the knowledge of gamblers. For instance, the Kahnawake Gaming Commision in Canada admitted cheating occured at Ultimate Bet from 6/03-12/07. A software "glitch" allowed some insiders at Ultimate Bet to see all players cards. A poker message board poker forum named 2+2 operated by David Sklansky and Mason Malmuth discovered irregularities on Ultimate Bet's Texas hold'em games. The community at 2+2 blew the fraud case wide open by exchanging unusual bad beat stories concerning UB. The cheating discovered by the heroes of 2+2 is most likely the tip of the iceberg concerning the online casino industry taking advantage of players.
