Most people are in favor of some expansion in legalizing sports wagering.
Why should that have any bearing on the matter, though?

Exactly right. The illegal books are the real beneficiaries. Why not at least run it and regulate it, so it get bring in some tax dollars?
Of course, they'd probably screw that up and make one lay 120 to win 100, or 25 cent MLB lines.

It is a lot like Prohibition in the 20s, there's a huge demand and mostly the supply is illegal.

They should do what other States have done with regards to pot... Make it legal and defy the government to do something about it.

I'm sure this is old news. But Yesterday Christie was on wfan and said the lawsuit allowing sports betting goes before the Supreme Court on December. 4th. A decision is expected by June 30th. If it goes For Monmouth will be taking bets by July 4th.

“Our general position on sports betting is that it should be legal and regulated, pursuant to a federal framework that has minimum safeguards,” said NBA VP and assistant general counsel Dan Spillane. “We have advisors in DC, we have legislation that we’ve been pulling together, talking with other stakeholders in this area. It’s a slow process… When the leagues were all just unanimously opposed to it, it really wasn’t, I think, a practical discussion to have, and now it is… I think that there will be a little bit more clarity, and people will be more open, especially members of Congress, to talking about potential legislation once the [NJ] case is resolved one way or another.”

In an hour-long argument in Washington Monday, a majority of the justices voiced doubts about a federal law that bars sports wagering in every state except Nevada. New Jersey, which is attempting to repeal its prohibition on sports gambling, contends the federal law violates states’ rights.
Justice Anthony Kennedy, often the court’s swing vote, said a ruling against New Jersey would "leave in place a state law that the state does not want."
Should the high court strike down the 1992 federal law, other states could move quickly to grab part of the $150 billion the casino-backed American Gaming Association says is wagered illegally every year.
