Gaming has the odds on its side
Star-Telegram | 05/30/2005 | Gaming has the odds on its side: "Though it appears that the Legislature has taken a pass on expanding gambling in Texas, you can bet that the idea will come up again at the next session -- as it should.
Gambling should be allowed in Texas in all its forms. People have a fundamental right to do with their money as they wish. Our gambling laws are more a reflection of political muscle than of some moral standard.
Grand Prairie has a horse racing track, as do several other cities scattered throughout the state. Races attract horse aficionados and those who want to bet on which horse will win.
Yet even with horse racing almost within sight of the proposed new Dallas Cowboys stadium, no bets can be placed on a football team -- at least not legally. We can place bets on horses, but not on humans racing up and down a football field."
