A federal judge late on Thursday upheld a challenge to a law authorizing sports betting in New Jersey, siding with a handful of professional sports leagues that said the law violated a federal ban on the practice. The ruling, by U.S. District Court Judge Michael Shipp, is a setback to the state’s racetracks, which would have been allowed to offer sports betting along with the state’s casinos if the law was upheld. New Jersey is expected to appeal the decision, with the support of Gov. Chris Christie.

![]() Christie comes through on Sports Betting; Monmouth, Freehold, ACRC, Meadowlands, Casinos OK'd to take action..
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nati...2168?cid=bitly ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie issued a directive Monday allowing his state's casinos and racetracks to offer sports betting without fear of criminal or civil liability. The governor said he took his cue from previous federal court rulings that found that nothing in New Jersey law prohibits the casinos and horse racing tracks from offering sports betting. His action is likely to be challenged in court by the professional and collegiate sports leagues that fought New Jersey's efforts to overturn a ban on sports betting in all but four states. That effort ended with the U.S. Supreme Court declining to hear the case. ASBURY PARK PRESS: http://www.app.com/story/news/politi...ting/15290363/

Maybe they can find a buyer for Revel. |

![]() I hope Monmouth realizes what they are getting into. There's quite a few bettors who may just go to sports and not return to racing.

![]() So I had a derby party and missed the super by a nose when Wicked Strong nosed the Rat. Most of my non racing friends were shocked that a Super bet could pay 8000 dollars for a modest bet. racing needs to focus on the fact racing provides the big scores and winning 8K betting sports at 110 to win 100 is so much more difficult.

The guy is a sports bettor who has never showed an interest in the track. Absolutely floored that he made 5x his investment- And called me this week to find out if I was playing this weekend - Wants to learn how to handicap horses. Agree completely - A sports bettor that gets a taste of a big payout will at least show an interest in wanting to learn more - |

One word to describe Nevada. Chutzpah. Embrace the Federal law that permits sports betting only in Vegas while ignoring the federal law that deems DFS as a game of skill and not gambling. And talk about biting the hand that feeds you DFS has brought in millions in revenue to casinios by holding live championship tournements there and untold millions in additional revenue by those DFS players who migrate to Vegas sportsbooks weekly to follow their teams. But in the no publcity is bad publicity dept, DFS had its biggest week ever last week. |
