From: IN%"tcmay@got.net" 29-NOV-1995 23:16:11.12 Personally, I have long had great _hopes_ for using crypto for non-sanctioned gambling, but I'm pretty skeptical that many people will do it. For one thing, anyone knowledgeable enough to be comfortable with the crytography knows that gambling when a house cut exists is a lose. (And gambling with no house cut is, at best, a wash.) ----------------------- How about gambling on something other than random numbers? Idea Futures are one instance, as is sports gambling for those interested in that sort of thing. -Allen
