Jersey will get it done. Feds can't tell a few states that they can have a certain industry but nobody else can. States gotta be treated equal. Once Jersey gets this shit up and law is overturned, more states will follow suit. Then we have a better opportunity to get online betting legal once again.

NJ could set the standard for sports betting all over the USAComment -
Why would the Feds even waste their time and money on stopping this in the first place?? Just let it go, there is no good reason to stop the inevitableComment -
America is bizzare.Comment -
Wait, sportsbetting is legal in Montana?Comment -
People keep forgetting that however much this sends the society into degenerates, it is MUCH better than sh-t like the Lotto or horse racing which is crazy Democratic/criminal takeout %s ... this alone could help not only the average bettor get great prices and rebates but it would also do a LOT to bring back horse racing, which would instantly be elevated to a status somewhat similar to times past if they just lowered take to a reasonable 5-10%Comment -
Christie is just awesome. Regardless of the political isle you are on, gotta respect a man that does what he says he will doComment -
Sex before marriage is still illegal in most states..... laws are outdated and need to be updated from time to time.Comment -
Just go after the ones that the majority agree on--simple
Medical Marijuana and especially sports betting?? The only people against these laws for the most part are hardcore bible thumpers, and they don't count because they are blinded and extremely biased (Not logical)Comment -
sweeeeeeeeeeet.Comment -
NFL needs to realize that the only reason people watch some bad teams play is because people have money onit.Comment -
Why couldn't it be this summer fall is shit for gambling no actionComment -
Delaware failed at this but hopefully Jersey will succeed. If they do succeed, then this should open some doors.Comment -
You idiots won't happen for at least 5 years. Christie is a media whore! LolComment -
Story all over the net. Its going to happen. Will very interesting to see what happens with the feds right before the election no less and if the Obama/Holder idiot brownnosers on a gambling website will still be stupid enough to support a democrat for president.Comment -
I am all for it and even though I am from the NY-NJ area....it isn't a good state to have this enforced. Mafia influence will hurt the integrity of many games.Comment -
Ill be shocked if they deal -110 on sides. The irony of offshore books is they don't have to pay income tax and can then offer customers good prices. Can 5dimes offer reduced juice and over night nickel lines if they are run out of the US?? Maybe, but maybe not. The main UK books deal soccer lines with 8% vig, but then again they actually run brick and mortar shops.Comment -
Interesting.Comment -

Can't stand Christie but agree with him on this one!Comment -
1st legal sports than poker

So just because this is in Jersey now it will have mob implications? I was under the impression that you could already bet on games in Vegas and that the mobs already existed and operated in Vegas....
Unless you're taking bets on little league games and shit at the Borgata I don't see how this changes anything in terms of the integrity of the game....Comment -
Yes it would. And that's why the feds are in a tricky position. If they let NJ do it but keep it illegal, other states would be more likely to be intimidated into refusing to legalize it. If they went after NJ but lost in the courts, that would open the floodgates.
I wouldn't be surprised to see some Congressional action on this issue. Considering there are 50 states in the union and only one, Nevada, wants to keep the status quo, I could see Congress themselves possibly changing the law.Comment
