Real legitimate polling will take place and the pro gambling forces hope it's in and stays positive. Other form of momentum will be looked upon to gain support.
After that I really have no idea what will happen. A favorable federal court ruling could be a huge positive and what NJ and other states need. A negative one and it could be a huge momentum changer in reverse.
Let me throw in only Adam Silver is supporting this every other league is against it. But if they can get revenue that compares to naming a stadium lots of owners will jump on board. The NBA stand to gain the most out of this because the wagering platform for games is fairly easy to understand. Not so much for the NHL and MLB with moneylines and other props that will be offered.
My two cents.

There is a lot of money bet illegally on MLB. A friend who was a bookie said he took more action on MLB than on the NBA. But more on college hoops than the MLB. Not what I expected.
