But in the no publcity is bad publicity dept, DFS had its biggest week ever last week.
Chutzpah is a good thing....

No. These folk are misrepresenting themselves as not being gambling, when they are. And then the NCAA wants to pretend it's all about athletes and scholarships when its really about money coming in while not paying the players, but they make money off the players. And if its not gambling, why can't they air during the big games? Why is the NCAA OK taking their ad money in regular season, but not after?
Reminds me of jokes about ladies of the evening and money. Already known they're a prostitute, just a matter of price.

Court again says New Jersey can't legalize sports betting
By DAVID PORTER

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.
