I think I read somewhere that the mindset was that the racetracks and casinos can be risking their license (state license, not sports betting license) if things are done shady. Of course without state regulation, it could be tough to prove. At lease Christie doesn't have to fear that anyone can go after him or the state, since it would be a private entity running it. I think the odds are (pun intended) are about 80% that he vetoes the bill. We'll see what happens.
