******************************** The Odds Are Good That Online Gambling Will Continue to Thrive -- But at What Price? http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/index.cfm?fa=viewfeature&id=1236 Online poker is on a winning streak. According to research firm River City Group, Internet poker alone is a $2 billion-a-year industry with a million players monthly. ComScore Media Metrix -- which measures all U.S. Internet users at home, work and college locations -- reports more than 29.1 million unique visitors to online gambling sites in April, out of a total audience of 165 million. Observers agree that the numbers are impressive, but experts at Wharton and elsewhere contend that the mainstreaming of online gambling -- particularly among school-aged males -- raises a host of public policy, legal and e-commerce issues.
