The Supreme Court on Monday struck down a federal law barring sports gambling, in a sweeping decision that could soon lead to legalized sports betting in dozens of states.

Can't take away the excitement that the people are creating for the people.

Although it could open a can of worm to some degree, I have no issues with it. Vegas on the other hand might be a little nervous though... ???

People are already investing in them casinos with this news.

It is the billions of dollars industry tax that they are going after. 

It is illegal here in Cali but how come I am able to place my bet?  Well if it is illegal, uncle Sam not getting their cut and they don't bust the small timer like the customers, they go after the bookie instead thus why we sports bettors in the states don't care. 

I went offshore but when they cash me out, the check came from Canada.  That is their loop hole which is also another count like money laundering. 

With access, more families will be broken.  Gambling, if on the losing end can destroy lives and families. 

I don't vouch for it.  I already took a vow of obedience to stop even though today's game is good between gsr n them rockets.
