    On Line Sports betting should be legalized and monitored Legalized internet sports betting is "not a problem. It is not a problem but you must regulate it, and monitored by a special regulatory body. I strongly believe that it should come under a well-parametered commission, which would oversee and regulate all kinds of betting. There is nothing disturbing about it. The Internet offers new and better access to something that consumers demand in spades: gambling. Lawmakers and prohibitionists can neither effectively stop Internet gambling nor justify their attempts to do so. In the long run it will, like so many other forms of gambling, almost certainly become legal. In the short run, however, Internet gambling faces some formidable opponents.As a market activity devoted to the pursuit of happiness,Internet gambling draws support from neither Opap shop owners nor Land base casino. As an upstart competitor to entrenched gambling interests, both public and private, Internet gambling threatens some very powerful lobbies. Not surprisingly, government has been considering bills that would prohibit Internet gambling(in the past). But the architecture of the Internet makes prohibition easy to evade and impossible to enforce. As an international network, moreover, the Internet offers instant detours around domestic bans.For better or for worse, the Internet offers new ways of satisfying age-old human desires. For the most part it serves blandly virtuous ends, such as private correspondence, public discourse, and legal commerce. They dwell especially on pornography and gambling, both of which mix big money with powerful temptations. Thanks to the Internet, gamblers no longer have to go up the mount of Parnitha to play the slots, drive to the nearest authorized corner store to play the state sports bet. Consumers can now play those and other games at home via the many Internet sites--well over 100 and growing--that offer gambling services. In the eyes of overeager regulators, however, Internet gambling presents something even more shocking than sex: the threat that entrenched gambling monopolies, nurtured and sometimes even run by government officials, might face new competition.Consumer demand and lost tax revenue has create enormous political pressure for legalization, which we should welcome if only for its beneficial policy impacts on network development and its consumer benefits. We should also welcome it for a more basic reason: as the Founders recognized, our rights to peaceably dispose of our property include the right to gamble, online or off.
