Delaware is one of only four states in the country -- along with Nevada, Oregon and Montana -- that had sports betting laws on its books when Congress passed the 1992 Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, which banned states from being in the bookmaking business.

Once again, however, it's for a limited purpose. You can't just plunk down $50 bucks on Dallas at a bar in Dover. You can play their Delaware Lottery game where you pick X number of winners and get back a certain, woefully inadequate return, and that's it.
