The Jamaican cabinet has given approval for an amendment to the Betting, Gaming and Lotteries Act regulations to allow for the introduction of sports betting, and an increase in the tax burden of those benefiting from its introduction.
According to the government, the bill will introduce a 9% gross profit tax on sports betting offered by licensees, increasing taxation on bookmakers to 16.5% of gross profits. The decision was announced by a spokesman for the Office of the Prime Minister, Daryl Vaz, at a press briefing at Jamaica House on September 9.
The approval paves the way for the introduction of betting on overseas sporting matches on the island.
Nations where gambling isn't allowed so often seem to have so much enthusiasm for betting. And it doesn't seem to matter how long it's been outlawed for, the desire is there!
A lot of mainland Chinese used to travel to Macau to bet - and casinos were a thriving industry. Of course, gambling is now allowed in China.
It seems to be the same with anything that's outlawed - alcohol in the U.S. for example, during prohibition - it doesn't stop people wanting it. In fact in many cases it makes people want it more!

The rebellion thought makes the people do it when they are asked to stop doing it. It cannot b stopped until and unless it comes from the individual to stop it.
An example for this would b a stubborn child not obeying the teacher. The child would like to do it on his own terms, he would do the right thing until he makes a mistake and learns from his mistakes.
The same thing is gonna happen
