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.

ESPECIALLY since they are so vested in the "skilled" based Fantasy industry.
