Outcome #2- federal bill: 30+ states "opt in" to a federal interstate regulatory scheme and games are up sometime early 2013.
This has 30+ states legalizing online poker sites and sending a chunk of operator fees to the feds...forever!
Why would 6+ times as many states want a scheme that would mean significantly less revenue? And how long until Congress decides they need a bigger chunk of the pie?
Also, if 30+ states want to legalize online poker sites, what is the delay?
