Supreme Court says Sports Betting is legal
 

Supreme Court strikes down federal law prohibiting sports gambling

Guess we will now see US sites being legal?

Don't get all excited.
It will probably be like the lottery.
States run the whole thing but it's illegal for anyone else to
operate gambling enterprises.

Long story short - Can American's bet on sports today?..

Seems technically yes, unless there are state rules in effect that say no in that state. At least thats what it seems. Unless Congress decides to make a new law then its up to states to decide.

Those of us who are sports gamblers already use overseas online sportsbooks betting in dollars or Bitcoin, but this allows the individual U.S. states to decide for themselves if sports gambling will be allowed in that state. In all likelihood, the states will do like Nevada where they have licensed gaming companies run legal brick & mortar sportsbooks and also allow customers to wager online via the smartphone apps of those gaming companies, geo-restricted for state residents only.

Sports gambling legal. Weed legal. What's next? :banana

Yep, I can't imagine most States won't do this. Too big of a cash cow. Especially if they can legally and easily bring home all that online offshore betting being done.

Legal weed is also a cash cow for states, but look how many fight it.

Clearly men marrying animals.
The Republicans #1 Fear now that Gay Marriage is legal.

Get those domains

Why not? it was absolutely legal even in the totalitarian USSR. Any reason to forbid it in land of the FREE?

Game fixes was a issue in the mob days, but at this point there are ways around the laws so it's kinda hard to justify keeping it as illegal.

Basically sports betting was controlled by the mob before it was made illegal back in the day. Lot of broken arms and stuff from bookies like you see in the movies.

Hmm.. why by mobs? Why not by the government? Was your police unable to get it under control? That was a girly school or POLICE?

That's not what the decision said. It's a decision about the FEDERAL government's ability to squelch state rules
