Gambling with an Edge --- September 6

[BobDancer]

Our guest this
Thursday night is professor I Nelson Rose, gaming law expert who is making his
third visit to the show. This week we’ll be talking specifically about his new
book, Gaming Law in a Nutshell. The “In a Nutshell” series is similar
to the “For Dummies” or “For Idiots” series, except that the books are geared
towards lawyers rather than to the general public. Still, they are written for
general practitioner lawyers whose specialty is in another field. This makes
the book understandable to players.

 

Since I get legal gambling
questions all of the time, I definitely want this book as a reference guide. If
you ever wonder about how gambling is different in different jurisdictions or
how the laws concerning taxes on video poker are the same or different than
those concerning sports betting or live poker, this book might be for you as
well.

 

GWAE may be heard live Thursday
evenings from 7-8 in Las Vegas on 1230 AM or from www.klav1230am.comfrom
anywhere. The shows are archived the next day on bobdancer.com. You may
subscribe for free from iTunes to get the podcasts delivered automatically to
your device.

You're kidding, right? Signing up right now for your..'For Dummies',  & 'For Idiots'...series...not. Nice to know that I have an expert to show me how stupid I am.

  I was not kidding. Perhaps I wasn't clear. The "for Dummies" series has a lot of titles in it (Personal Finance for Dummies, Divorce for Dummies, Interior Decorating for Dummies, Windows 7 for Dummies, etc.) It's a popular series of books written for the general public. The "for Idiots" series has comparable titles directed at the same audience. I have nothing to do with either series. The "in a Nutshell" series is primarily for lawyers (Patent Law in a Nutshell, Legal Writing in a Nutshell, First Amendment Law in a Nutshell, etc.). While most of the listeners to the radio show are not lawyers, most of you will be able to get value out of the book because the book is geared for lawyers who don't specialize in that particular subject. Therefore, intelligent non-lawyers should be able to understand most of what is said. Bob
