Court again says New Jersey can't legalize sports betting
By DAVID PORTER Aug. 9, 2016 11:28 AM EDT http://bigstory.ap.org/article/272ee...betting-effort NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — A federal appeals court on Tuesday dealt another defeat to New Jersey's yearslong attempt to legalize sports betting, setting aside the state's challenge to a federal betting ban. The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling invalidated a law passed by New Jersey in 2014 that would have allowed sports betting at casinos and racetracks. The court found New Jersey's law repealing prohibitions against sports gambling violated the 1992 Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, which forbids state-authorized sports gambling. "Because PASPA, by its terms, prohibits states from authorizing by law sports gambling, and because the 2014 law does exactly that, the 2014 law violates federal law," the court wrote. Currently, only Nevada offers legal sports betting on individual games. Delaware offers multigame parlay betting in which players must pick several games correctly to win. Both were given exemptions when PASPA was passed.

After this, the only other option is SCOTUS and it's unlikely they would even hear that case since the appelate court upheld a federal law. I don't think there is much momentum to alter that law at the federal level, since all the sports organizations are opposed.
When you think of it, legalizing betting on pro sports is not going to do the leagues any good. People bet on it now and it drives TV ratings. It would be a headache for them. States were given an option in that law to opt in and only 2 or 3 did, besides Nevada. I know Delaware only got NFL parlays out of it. You have to bet 3 wagers in a bet, like the old bookie bar cards. Sad for the horse industry and Denis Drazin. They've worked really hard with the best interests of the NJ horse industry involved. Their best option is to try and get a % of any new casino via a voted referendum. Worth a shot.

Supreme Court will hear N.J. appeal to allow sports betting
By Matt Hegarty The U.S. Supreme Court decided on Tuesday that it will hear an appeal by the state of New Jersey in its bid to legalize sports betting within its borders. The decision will allow New Jersey to argue that its attempts to allow betting on sports does not violate a federal law that sought to stop the spread of legal sports gambling. New Jersey’s executive branch and its legislature have devised multiple strategies to allow sports betting over the past several years, but lower courts have struck down the plans, ruling in favor of a coalition of professional and amateur sports leagues that had objected. Legalized sports wagering in New Jersey has been supported by Monmouth Park, which is operated by the state’s horsemen under a lease from the state. The plans allowing for sports betting have tabbed Monmouth Park as one of the sites where sports wagers could be placed, along with Atlantic City’s struggling casinos. The court will hear the appeal during its fall session. Briefs are scheduled to be filed in August. Single-game wagering is generally prohibited under a federal law, the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, which was passed in 1992. The legislation included several exceptions, including an allowance for sports betting in Nevada and three other states that had already authorized limited wagering on sports contests.
