Have you or anyone you know actually get "caught" or in legal trouble for online gambling?  This is mainly for US citizens. Just curious.

The way I understand it, betting on sports is not illegal, accepting the bets is (i.e. the bookie is breaking the law not you).

I could very well be wrong on that though as I'm very much small time, but like all us other degenerates, I have those dreams of striking it big and I looked into the legalities.
