That is great news. Now Texas has to get it together, however I'm not holding my breath.

I got $25 in my account. I don't use it too often, but hey, it's "free" dough...

Here's the opening line to the e-mail I got from xpressbet:

We are happy to announce that the Illinois State Legislature has legalized online wagering on racing by passing Amendment #1 to Senate Bill 1884. With online betting restored for Illinois residents, now is the best time to come back to Xpressbet. In fact, we'd like to offer you $50 in wagering credits when you deposit and wager $50 by June 30, 2013.

When your product's entire statewide handle gets to a point where it produces less than $7.5 million in annual taxes for the state, then you have lost your clout with the state's politicians...and your bluffs can no longer be counted upon to bring about the intended results.

Horse racing is "small potatoes" in the state of Illinois...and the casinos are the large Idaho potatoes. Our game could fade into oblivion, and the Illinois state coffers would never even notice the disappearance. The casinos would more than pick up the slack...
