After seeing other social issues like legalized marijuana, and gay marriage, jump into public acceptance in the USA, I see it only a matter of time before gambling is embraced also. With a sports commissioner talking candidly about it, it can do nothing but accelerate the process, in my eyes. How long do you guys give it?

It will nver happen

way too much red tape and TONS OF IT

How about this..all of Vegas Books combined are not as good as Bookmaker and 5 Dimes and Heritage


If ever legal all will still be playing offshore you shall see

[Mr KLC]

I think it will be accessible in the states within 5 years, along with prostitution.

[mcdonae101]

[lakerboy]

It's there already. Why let it be legal and ruin a good thing.

[Amadeo-Picks]

Vegss already has offshore whipped; getting paid quickly (if at all ) trumps everything.

I'm just thrilled Adam Silver is so open about it. You never hear a commissioner so open about gambling. It's a start no matter what way you look at it. I'm with you KLC... it's just a matter of time now. The USA will regulate the sh#$ out of it... and tax it... but one day it will be available.

If they are concerned about the integrity of the game then just open it to bet foreign sports like soccer and tennis.

I can see it now. Places that do tax returns will offer customers cash, bud, or load your online account. Prolly offer a nugget or freeplay to drive in business.
