[Hman]

There was a possible date a couple of weeks ago as well.

Unfortunately it probably won't come today, especially with the NBA & MLB stirring the pot.

Here's some other possible dates:

Scheduled Supreme Court ruling dates

The Supreme Court maintains a schedule for when it releases its decisions, but can also add additional decision dates to the calendar between formally scheduled dates. The dates for the current term are as follows:

April 2 and 30;
May 14, 21 and 29;
June 4, 11, 18 and 29

[bracephilosophyy]

Ruling supposed to be handed down today to
Legalize sports betting for all. New Jersey is already taking bets as soon as it's passed

What are the odds the Supremely Conservative Court actually rules in our favor? I want to bet on this but can’t find any lines at my outs.

The vast majority of Legal & betting experts have NJ the favs.

Months ago it was almost a pick'em but now it ranges from NJ -110 to as high as -250.

Not sure about odds offshore as I haven't seen any & it might be difficult to post a line because the ruling could come with different stipulations.

One thing is certain, a victory for the states means a victory for the industry in general, including offshore as it will bring limelight to the hobby.

[jjgold]

HMAN make it happen

Make calls

[Hman]

JJ don't you live in that area?

Thought you might be able to pull some strings & get it done

[gauchojake]

Gambling is evil and should be banned

[jjgold]

I live 90 miles or so from the area where books might be

If not app approved its really useless for regular players

I believe NJ did not get apply for betting apps just live wagering

Here's how confident some are that it will be legalized :




Churchill Downs In Full Gallop Towards Sports Betting, Buys Casinos in Pennsylvania, Mississippi
Eric Ramsey, Mar 5, 2018


Churchill Downs Inc. is positioning itself for a world with legal sports betting.

The Kentucky-based horse racing company has announced plans to purchase two casinos, including one in Pennsylvania. And PA sports betting could be legal later this year.

Churchill Downs buys PA racino

CDI is set to acquire the Presque Isle Downs & Casino in Erie. The current owner, Eldorado Resorts, announced the sale this week, a cash transaction of $178.9 million.
Presque Isle is one of PA’s smallest casinos by revenue, but it’s still a big step for CDI. The property was initially a horse racing track, and it still hosts about 100 race days annually. It became a racino when Pennsylvania expanded gaming more than a decade ago.

The casino is the primary business now, though, running almost 1,600 slots and 40 table games, plus a full poker room. Slots were responsible for more than $100 million of Presque Isle’s revenue in February, according to numbers from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board.

Also in the announcement, CDI said it plans to purchase a second Eldorado property. It will take over the Lady Luck Casino in Vicksburg, Miss. for an additional $50.6 million. Lady Luck has a 25,000-square-foot gaming floor with about 600 machines and nine tables, plus an 89-room hotel.

CDI CEO Bill Carstanjen offered his thoughts in a press release:

We are excited about welcoming both of these properties to the Churchill family. Presque Isle will give us a foothold in Pennsylvania which has recently passed legislation authorizing real money online gaming. The Lady Luck Vicksburg is immediately adjacent to our Riverwalk facility and offers us operational efficiencies in a stable region. Both properties fit our investment criteria and will be immediately accretive to our shareholders.

Both deals are expected to close later this year.

CDI eying up online gambling, sports betting

CDI’s new footprint in Pennsylvania is particularly eye-opening.

The state recently became the fourth to legalize online gambling, and PA sports betting could be on the horizon. That same gaming law from 2017 also legalized sports betting, should the US Supreme Court strike down the federal ban this spring. That would include mobile wagering as well as betting on sports at casinos.

Land-based casino gaming is profitable, but the upcoming online rollout is almost certainly the motive for CDI’s entry. It’s had ambitions in the space for several years.

In 2013, the group tried to get into the NJ online casino business by purchasing the Showboat in Atlantic City. The sale fell through, but the underlying plans remained intact. After the deal was dissolved, former CEO Bob Evans confirmed that online gaming would remain a key part of CDI’s endeavors. The company continued to invest in its in-house betting platforms, finally selling off its social gaming product recently.

How will CDI get into the sports betting business?

CDI could develop/roll out a real-money online casino and/or sports betting platform. Short of that, it could partner with an existing platform provider to launch online gambling and sports betting in PA.

The company is already in the online wagering space, with an online horse betting platform called TwinSpires. Mobile wagers accounted for more than $250 million of its revenue last year. Leveraging that database of users would make for a potentailly quick transition for CDI into sports betting.

With its new purchases, CDI now owns land-based properties in Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi and Pennsylvania — five states all moving toward legal sports betting. There are active sports gambling bills in all of those states.

Once sports wagering becomes legal in all states on deck,the Off shore books are toast
as far as US players in these states goes, because they will most probably adopt online booking...........

I don't believe that is correct. Offshore will do just fine.

States just want to get their foot in the door by having a brick and mortar place to take wagers.
Taking Sports wagers online probably won't happen for another 2-5 years

Some states are already prepared/preparing to take online wagers.

However, Offshore will still stand strong.

Legalization = Exposure
Exposure = More Players
More Players = More Competition
More Competition = More players finding better bonuses, odds, perks, and value Offshore

It's a domino effect.

Yah. You need online apps. Brick and mortar are good for your days off. Get a pizza and drink watch the game in the book with buds.

You forgot jumping through hoops to get paid

having to prove your identity months AFTER initial deposit not during the process

crazy fees to get your money.

I play online at PokerStarsNJ. Can literally get a payout in 15 mins live in AC. The next day in my checking account. ZERO Fees

[StackinGreen]

^Totally agree.

For all of us, regardless whether you use now legal US books or place wagers with them, it creates greater options which creates greater understanding of the best services, in this case, books.

I expect (like jj) that they'll mess it up by charging -115 Or more, but they'll soon find that doesn't fit even if some retards bet into it. Obviously Vegas won't upcharge, so at a minimum, that'll remain while taking a hit.

Let's face it, with bet tracking and taxes it'll be tough for someone to abandon a local who is legit. Again, the player wins all around.

[Biff41]

I heard some guy on radio say that Bitcoin brokers can setup blockchain internet gambling sites that can be setup across the the world that are safe accurate and untraceable?

[Hman]

Once most states start offering online wagering, funding methods will have to be opened up again.

Obviously this will open new avenues for offshore to take advantage of & depositing & withdrawing will likely become easier again as it used to back in the day.
