That is usually the case.

I was staying within the context of the thread.

Indeed, but they will still be in business, as they offer lines of credit for their clients, the government does not. Orthopedics will continue to be lucrative.

"Loans" at 30% interest will continue but sports betting will be dead to them.

I normally go to Vegas for March Madness every year. No need to jackass all the way out there now. I will just go take the short ride down to AC.

Jersey has been pursuing this for years with the goal of putting sports books in AC casinos. Can't hurt. Not sure how much it will help, especially if a bunch of other states in the NE follow suit with their own versions.

Minimal impact

It will eventually be a big draw at Resorts/Aqueduct Racetrack Casino in Queens. The bookies in Howard Beach are pissed!!!

I am not well read on this topic...

I presume this allows for college sports betting, correct?

Does this open to door to wagers via your phone? i.e. if you are in NY State, and a legal NY State casino sets up a web operation, would mobile phone betting would be allowed?

College sports will be included. It will take some time to set up a mobile app, but that is coming.

My question: will there be one source for the lines, or will each state set their own lines? If the latter, a bettor could get St. John’s at -5 in NY, and -7 in IL. He could then play both...and pocket money.

Or, since the states take is based on the total pool (amount played) , what prevents one state from undercutting others by enticing bettors with better odds?

Sounds like someone could jump in and declare themselves the regulatory body and make billions, all while employing selective enforcement. But since the NCAA is already busy, maybe one of us could take the lead on this and make us all a ton of money.

Maybe Paul can eventually add another tab on redmen.com: Degenerate Gambling
