Part Time Poker Interview with Betcha.Com Boss an Eye-Opener

One of the newer sites to offer a smart mix of poker news and commentary is Part Time Poker, which takes a peek at many of the pressing topics of the day. More often than not the site's content is an interesting read, with one of the very best in recent weeks being an interview with Nick Jenkins, the founder of Betcha.com.

Betcha.com, for those of you who might not know, is the Washington-state site that found a way to bring sports bettors together without violating gambling laws, at least after extensive research by Jenkins, himself a lawyer. However, the Betcha.com case as it stands today is Lesson #1 in teaching the truism that governments don't let silly little things like laws get in their way.

Click here for the interview with Jenkins, about his pending felony case in Louisiana and what amounts to an illegal seizure by Washington. It's an eye-opening read.
