Message: [QUOTE="Ranger390, post: 1725255, member: 30660"] turtelliusshellis: In addition, if the Feds indict the pros, one or more might decide to take their case to trail, which is the last thing the Feds want. If a case went to trial, it would not only be costly, but poker could be ruled to be a game of skill, not luck, and therefore not be subject to regulation under the gambling laws. That would also dry up their source of funds...their current extortion racket of indicting and then threatening until the accused cough up huge amounts of cash to settle the case. [/QUOTE]
