Sports gambling is the hardest thing to win at and the biggest sucker bet. That's what makes betting horses so nice. Small risk big reward. As for betting football. You need to hit a whole bunch of games to make any cash.

N.J. sports betting Q&A: How can you place a bet? What are the restrictions?

FEDS will NOT be able to stop this... It's just like selling weed in Colorado & Washington.

Once Jersey gets it right, watch a few more states jump in.

They may try and I am sure some judge somewhere will give them an injunction but I dont see how long term this does not happen in just about every state.

Why should they? Aren't there much bigger concerns out there? Not to mention that there isn't an Attorney General to direct any action. Dennis Drazin is very confident they'll get a run at it and I hope he's right.

It's beyond sad how much pleasure you seem to take in the denial of a scenario that would benefit a large group of people while having little or modest discernible impact on your obvious own self interest.
