NY has introduced the necessary legislation, many states are done until 2019 though.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Many states will have this up and running by the start of the NFL regular season. They have too, gotta get in early.

Yeah, I think that's the natural target for any states w/ little resistance and no logistical issues.

Re: NFL Off Topic

NFL wants to get consistent regulation from the federal level.

The NFL’s long-standing and unwavering commitment to protecting the integrity of our game remains absolute. Congress has long-recognized the potential harms posed by sports betting to the integrity of sporting contests and the public confidence in these events. Given that history, we intend to call on Congress again, this time to enact a core regulatory framework for legalized sports betting. We also will work closely with our clubs to ensure that any state efforts that move forward in the meantime protect our fans and the integrity of our game.

Excellent news for us Buck-nuts

NFL fans will get a double dose of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman this season.

FOX confirmed today that Buck and Aikman, who were already the top Sunday afternoon duo for the network, will also call the new Thursday night package.

That will be a lot of work for the two, who may get some Sundays off. Buck will likely need some NFL games off in the fall when he calls the baseball playoffs for FOX. It is not known yet who will team with Aikman while Buck is focusing on baseball.

In the past the NFL required its Thursday night partners, CBS and NBC, to use the top Sunday team on Thursdays. But this year the league made no such requirement, and FOX first tried to get Peyton Manning to call the games before deciding to go with Buck and Aikman when Manning said no. In the end, FOX decided to go the same route and give Thursday nights to its top Sunday team.

Gambling FTW!

Never a fan of telling me how to spend my money...or not spend it.

As long as I am not robbed and/or murdered by someone with an out of control gambling debt, I am fine with it.

Or maybe NY has an issue:

via @WALLACHLEGAL

Challenges facing states in legalizing sports betting:

1. State constitutional prohibitions (CA, DE, NY, SC)
2. Stakeholder disagreements (e.g., casinos vs. leagues)
3. Tribal exclusivity in certain states
4. Political considerations
5. State legislative sessions ending soon

Lots more coverage to come, anyone interested in the topic should keep up w/ this guy: https://twitter.com/WALLACHLEGAL

Re: NFL Off Topic

We've had legalized sports gambling through lottery commissions here in Canada. If regulated well (and probably government controlled like it is here) than this shouldn't be a big issue.

It's not legal to bet on a single event though. You have to pick multiple games and the bet is on the combined results.

Yep, basically a parlay card. I think that's one way to get people to bet within a government controlled structure.
