1) credit. a local bookie gives you a line of credit. you do not have to post up. most will work with you if you lose more than you can pay.
2) travel. no one wants to drive an hour to the casino to bet and drive back home. they want to login from their home computer and play or call on the phone.

#1 is biggest issue. i remember being in vegas and still calling home to bet.
cheech I agree Icredit will be the main factor keeping street books open .
2) in Nevada you can bet online legally if you are a Nevada resident and set up A account .But last I saw limits were pretty low , so I would assume if It were legal federally online options would be put in play

ya I seen some that have the apps for Live In Play as well.

i dont think it cuts much into the street gambling as people will think initially.
