I agree with the basic idea that many industies in India are illegal. I live in UK and sports betting be in tennis, football or cricket is very much a legal activity here. An Indian has made a big name in poker too. Just imagine if Indian Govt makes these activities legal and collect tax on them. I am sure it will allow business men of these segments more freedom to expand their businesses while providing the govt much needed money which it can use for providing literacy, healthcare in poor areas.
