High court end Delaware's bid for sports betting

[Brock Landers]

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday denied Delaware's appeal to install sports betting beyond NFL parlays, the Associated Press reported Monday.
The report said the justices did not comment on their decision to uphold a federal appeals court ruling that prevented Delaware - one of four states permitted to have sports betting through a grandfather clause - from adding single-game betting on the NFL, as well as the NBA, NHL, Major League Baseball and major NCAA sporting events.
Last year, those organizations successfully sued to prevent the expansion of sports betting in Delaware, which was looking to increase state revenue streams to close a huge deficit in spending.
A Philadelphia federal appeals court ruled that the expanded betting plan would violate a 1992 federal ban on sports betting. Delaware ran an NFL parlay betting game in 1976 and claimed it was exempt from the ban.

good now don't have too add drive down RTE 202 once a week from September to February

[Andy117]

Well that sucks.

[Iwinyourmoney]

Even though it does not affect me it does suck

[THEGREAT30]

U.S. is the most hypocritical establishment in the history of the world, good day

[ryanspeer2001]

I let this whole thing go emotionally 6 months ago. Shame there will be no expansion it would be great for the state.

[MBENZ]

Was hoping this would make some headway and leapfrog legalized gambling in the US.Guess we are just a small minority and get screwed again.It's ok to pay exhorbitant taxes,but not ok to have the freedom to do what you want with your own money.

Never will pass anywhere

VEgas has too much power

[thezbar]

The off shore industry should be happy about this. No foothold into the U.S marketplace outside of Nevada.

[BigdaddyQH]

Once again, your Liberal friends let all of you down. I could care less, but the the only way you are going to get this changed is through Congress. I guess the Democrats talked a good game, but as usual, folded when the heat was turned up. You guys had better learn that the law is the law and just wishing that it were not so is not going to change it.

I guess I should be happy that Del Park will have poker by the end of this month. Even though I've been playing poker at the Del Poker room for the past year, it would have been nice for the single game sports betting to be passed and run out of Del Park along with all the other Del race tracks. A full casino, live horse racing and sports betting would have been tremendous.

I actually think Atlantic City had a lot to do with it too. If sports betting passed, along with DE getting table games by the end of this month AC would be in more ruins than it is now.

I don't think this is the case. The Pocono's just opened up 2 Casino's. AC is already done.

[ncat12]

never had a chance...cant go against the logo (NFL) and expect to succeed...no matter who granfatrher is involved

[cadillac pete]

They are slot parlors and video machines. Table games are coming to PA in June.

[jjgold]

Phila Park as a nice separate casino next to track, nice facility.
Table games in June will make it a popular spot.

USA, you can take it. It is a mess. Land of the Free, my ass. Land to invade and mess up little weak countries. Except Cuba - they got them running still. Yah CuBa

[Brock Landers]

Cuba will be the next Macau, unless they fuk that up too

[minet123]

Hmmm wonder who started that thread about a month ago

[soxwin1917]

This was way more about Vegas and what they want, than what the "Big Bad" government wants

[increasedodds]

WHy doesn't Deleware just let you bet two parlays?

If you want to bet $110 on the Browns

Bet $55 on Browns -7 parlayed with U38 and $55 on Browns -7 parlayed with O38.
Surely they can come up with parlay odds that pay -110

[idontlikerocks]

great idea increased oddsi! i have noticed a lot of advertising for casinos on the baseball channels this year.

It's only 3-teamers allowed. No two team parlays, but I thought that right away. I still think u can do 5 parlays, of 3's or something like that & make it work, and still make the odds right make it around -110

The Ultimate Parlay

This year's Best Bet 3-way parlay: The NFL, the State Supreme Court and PAID LOBBYISTS with powerful links to Washington DC. The odds were 1-5 not 6.5-1.

But don't give up on the future of state controlled legal and regulated USA single-game wagering. There are no sure things and odds-on favorites have often finished LAST.

fuk it, add a neteller like money exchange and i am perfectly happy with the way things are now

[Paul Kersey]

Hmmm..think you missed the point. Are you perfectly happy the NFL pays thousands to lawyers controlling judges who make decisions against what people in the USA clearly want? And are you feeling safer with your Neteller account vs. a Delaware Park or say a Harrah's Inc.?
