But sports wagering will never fill the states coiffures just like poker hasn't gotten off the ground. It's way too easy to lose money fast without ther entertainment value. One could take a wife or girlfriend out for the night playing slots or whatever and have a great time. Imagine the same situation sitting at a bar (buying drinks) and after three hours the long drive home because you lost. Easiest way to get a divorce or lose the girl of your dreams.

The selling point on sports wagering in NJ is the ability it has to bring people to the racetracks and the casinos. The online wagering form won't take place for quite sometime. NJ has a Governor who stood by the Atlantic City casinos as if he personally owned them. The AC rehab project is over it didn't work. Despite what many of the internet attorneys are saying no one knows what the feds will do to keep NJ from operating sports wagering. If anyone thinks the feds act quickly they don't. The supreme court will eventually decide the fate of sports wagering which won't be for many years, until then the green light is on and all of the sports wagering connections continue to act as if it will happen!
