Hmm, I've never before seen anyone complain about the mere existence of a disclaimer. I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you by the 1.5 lines of capitalized and bold text on both ends of the several paragraphs containing information regarding U.S. federal income taxes. I do believe that I am being overly cautious by including it and now that I am aware of the inconvenience it causes to you I will take some time and reevaluate whether I will include it in similar posts in the future.

This is awesome thank you Trump, ya gotta get one right once in a while!

This came about because the State of New Jersey passed laws legalizing and regulating sports betting in violation of a federal law known as Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act ("PASPA"). Several sports leagues and the NCAA then sued New Jersey to prevent them from regulating sports betting, citing violations of PASPA. After some time the federal government (the executive branch of which is headed by Trump) joined the lawsuit on the side of the sports leagues/NCAA in opposition to allowing states (specifically New Jersey) to regulate sports betting on the grounds that it violates PASPA. However, the sports leagues/NCAA and the federal government eventually lost the lawsuit and New Jersey won. The Supreme Court struck down the federal law as unconstitutional on the grounds that it commandeered states' rights by requiring them to not legalize and regulate sports betting. (However, the federal government probably could still pass a more direct ban on sports betting itself.) Therefore, with PASPA struck down, states currently are free to legalize and regulate sports betting.

So, you are thanking the wrong people. You are thanking the people who were fighting against striking down the law that was preventing states from legalizing sports betting.

Dude it was a joke. Obviously I know about the three branches of govt and the supreme court and Chris Christie.

Ok. Never mind then.

Of course Delaware has not officially said they would allow betting on college football, although it is expected. But as soon as Borgata opens their book Im moving back to Jersey bc college football is a go for sure there.

Enjoy laying the -115 lol.

Lol at trying to win betting the spread. I am usually laying moneyline bets on huge favorites in CFB as our friends from MIT have said it is safer that buying stocks.

Link that’s it’s -115 or are u just full of xxxx?

Oh my GOD DUDE relax! have you been on the internet before??

No link, simply what I expect.

I was just providing the information to be helpful as 6MaxLHE's understanding of what happened seemed to be incorrect, although he later clarified that he was just joking.

I am not sure what problem you have with it that gets you riled up enough to type such a response to me.

if in Vegas William Hill requires you to show ID and join their rewards program for 1k cumulative bets ($500 in some places but 2k downtown) - wonder what limits they will have in middle of nowhere like Delaware

So the Borgata’s sister properties in Vegas run -110 but u think it will be -115 at the Borgata ? That doesn’t make any sense at all.

FanDuel today. 25c lines on MLB sides, 30c on today's and the run line numbers are flat out LOL with a -195/+135 line.

They operate the just opened sports book at Meadowlands too which has 30cent MLB lines and 35 cent on totals. 5 cent markup for brick and mortar apparently.

The sportsbook makes you remove your hat and glasses to place a bet too. Top notch

MGM working with GVC Holdings and Boyd now partnering with MGM might be interesting.

GVC apparently welcomes winners and unbanned a lot of people from Ladbrokes when they bought them.

Downside is you could get a lot of books merging into one big book.

I wonder if there will be any line wars in Tunica, MS when the Horseshoe opens it's sports book in a few days (Goldstrike opened yesterday). The two will be like a 2 minute walk from each other, and GS just grabbed the upper hand by opening first. I haven't been to GS since they closed poker room, they might use this to get a gambling demographic back they lost when poker room closed.

how old are you?

must be over 50

Hope to check out the book at the Ocean this week.
