What’s the deal with all the gambling spam suddenly?

For the last week or so about 90% of my spam is gambling related.  I used to get a few of those, but lately it’s just ridiculous.  Cloudmark on the Mini-Note and Spam Sieve on the Mac gets rid of it all, but I still look through the spam folder occasionally to make sure it’s not marking something legitimate.  (I must say I’m completely impressed with Cloudmark.  Spam Sieve occasionally decides it simply isn’t going to work anymore, but Cloudmark has been rock solid.  Highly recommended if you’re not using a suite with spam filtering.)

I guess it’s OK to change up the distribution of the spam occasionally, I just got so used to dick pills and porn that I notice when I start getting pounded with something unique.  For a while it was all about fake ... I mean, replica watches.  I have a watch.  If I was buying a watch it wouldn’t be a fake one.  My body parts all work fine, thank you very much, and I really don’t want to talk to that tired girl who saw my profile online and wants to chat with me and only me because I excite her so. 

But I digress.

The only gambling I do is the occasional lottery ticket and driving on the interstate, so please… enough.
