The Explosion of Online Gambling

Online gambling has experienced an exponential growth since its inception in the late 1990s. By the early 2000s, the market had grown large enough for major players to enter the arena, and the industry hasn't stopped growing since. Currently, almost all types of gambling can be found on the internet, from sportsbooks and casinos, to poker and bingo sites and lotteries. The gambling industry has found a new, incredibly profitable niche in the world of digital technology.
 

Why Online Gambling Is So Popular

Because it is so convenient, there are multiple reasons why online gambling has become so popular. People can quickly access different types of gambling sites, and they don't have to worry about going out of their way to get to a physical casino. In addition, online gambling sites often offer bonuses and incentives to attract customers, making them a great way to make extra cash. Finally, online gambling sites are less intimidating than physical casinos, so bettors don't have the same pressure to “perform” in order to make money.
 

Different Types of Online Gambling

Today, there are a variety of different types of online gambling. Casinos, sportsbooks, and poker websites offer traditional gambling experiences, as do online lotteries and bingo sites. Online betting has become incredibly popular, as well — bettors can place single bets, or they can opt for parlay bets that have a much higher payout. In addition, some gambling sites offer virtual sports betting, where players can place bets on simulated sports events.
 

The Benefits of Online Gambling

In addition to the convenience of being able to place bets from anywhere, online gambling also offers a number of other advantages. Many sites are incredibly secure and use the latest in encryption technology to protect personal and financial information. Betting sites also have an extensive range of options, so you can find the exact type of wager you're looking for. Plus, online gambling sites are often regulated by gambling authorities, so bettors can rest assured that their money is safe and secure.

What a long, expensive trip it's been. By now, LawCrossing members own everything from the world's most expensive cell phone to the world's most expensive toilet that sits in their very own castle. It seems as if everything exorbitantly priced has already been bought. What's a LawCrossing member to do? Why, buy your own equestrian property, of course. An equestrian property adds instant prestige and status — not to mention the serenity that comes from admiring nature's most noble creature galloping around acres and acres of lush pasture. Just try not to think of how much all this serenity costs. Let us take a tour of the most expensive equestrian properties in the good ol' US of A to see exactly how many zeros you'll have to write on that check.

First stop, the Northeast. When thinking of this region of the country, one conjures images of green rolling hills, autumn leaves, and of course, the Hamptons. But there's no estate that can compare to the $25 million property known as the Pinnacle Farm located in Connecticut. It is a suiting name for one of the most expensive equestrian properties in the country. Don't shy away from shelling out your hard earned money just yet. This property is a steal compared to a property in Greenwich that's going for $53 million. Pinnacle Farm is just right for those starting out in the horse business. With the 50 acre property comes a 65,000 square foot residence. And for your 4-legged friends, nine large grass pastures and a veterinarian lab with an X-ray facility. Horses need regular check ups too.

But perhaps Pinnacle Farm is a little too close to the hustle and bustle of the city. After all, you're looking for peace and quiet. So why not head out west to the tranquility of Wyoming (you really can't get anymore tranquil than a square state). Here you'll find the Mountain Region Polo Ranch. This equestrian property is definitely a better deal, with 2,838 deeded acres for $30 million. And talk about prestige. The Mountain Region Polo Ranch is the oldest polo ranch in the country, providing its owner with an instant ticket into the blue-blooded circles of America.

And now that you own your very own equestrian property, you'll need, well, an equus (a horse). Of course, a typical Mr. Ed will just not do. Only the best for LawCrossing members. And what's better than a thoroughbred? The name says it all. Pure. Flawless. Immaculate. Thoroughbreds are the cream of the crop, just like LawCrossing members. But with pedigree comes price. You can buy a horse with a few hundred grand, but who wants a mediocre horse? Hopefully you have an extra couple of million lying around the mansion, because the best horses can run upwards of $1 million or more. The record was set at $4.5 million for a colt.

Okay. You've bought the stable, you got a horse, now you need a name. Every good thoroughbred needs a catchy moniker. How about LawCrossing? It's not only memorable, but it's also already associated with being the best. Finally, time to race. So, you dropped about $50 million, what with all the training and the jockey and the fees and the maintenance and the property and the horseshoes.

But it'll all be worth it when LawCrossing wins the Triple Crown.
