On November 8th, in statewide elections, we finally have our chance to vote and make sports betting legal in New Jersey.

We need your help, and WE NEED YOUR VOTE. Vote YES on NJ Sports Wagering this November 8th in the state-wide elections.

On November 8th, New Jersey voters will go to the polls and decide whether the state should permit legal sports wagering. With a successful YES vote, New Jersey will be one step closer to making bets at Atlantic City's casinos and the racetracks in the Meadowlands and Monmouth Park.
Bob Griffin, CEO of Trump Entertainment: "Legalized sports betting will attract more tourists to visit our city and enjoy our world-class entertainment, thriving restaurant industry, brand-name retail shopping and famous Boardwalk. Sports betting will allow Atlantic City to better compete, grow and reinvest in the region."

I'm already on line Lou Just waiting for the doors to open  

I'm not a resident of New Jersey, but would vote yes if I ever see it on the ballet. You're right though, people need to know it's on the ballet in order to win this thing.

It still wont pass because of Bill Bradley.

I've been following this for years and I am 100% for this.  It's insane that NJ doesn't have the right to have sports betting while other states can. I have been tell friends and family and have even been trying to spread the word on Facebook. 

NJ is LOADED w/too many idiots for this to pass.

Sad but true...too bad, as AC could really use the punch in the arm that sports gambling could provide.  Part of the problem is that the northern part of the state (cesspool) CONTROLS it all. 

the local mobsters don't want it-besides vote means nothing-against fed law

Let's hopt it passes.  Why do East Coasters have to go to Vegas or online to drop some cash on a game

   Hope it passes

all my trips down to the borgata in ac to go to club mur mur and there is no sportsbook.. it is a joke, please pass this i will live in ac

LEEEEGALIZE IT!

im in 

$$ I KNOW FROM A GOOD SOURCE THAT THIS HAS A SHOT OF MAKING IT.........$$$$$$$$$$$...SO I GUESS WE HAVE TO SIT BACK AND WAIT AND SEE...........HOPEFULLY THIS SOURCE IS NOT BLOWING SMOKE UP MY ASS.............

i'm on it lou and spreading the word

Come on NJ!

If it passes how soon will we see sports betting? I mean they have to build parlors etc.. Hopefully its not the same bullshit that happened to Delaware with parlay and teaser cards

Christie is behind it si I believe it will pass. After that is a crooked crap shoot(envision loaded dice).

While a “yes” vote will indeed set the wheels in motion, it won’t automatically lead to legalized sports betting. PASPA is still a federal law and can only be repealed by a 2/3 vote in Congress or by a decision in the U.S. Supreme Court ruling the law unconstitutional. Both right now seem unlikely although the federal government and courts seem to be warming up to gambling expansion as a revenue generator. In fact even the sports leagues, which have been the strongest opponents, seem more willing to consider the idea. And if the decision is indeed left up to the Supreme Court to decide it’s hard to see them agreeing that the exclusionary law is constitutional. “You had your chance but blew it” may be a valid argument in gym class but likely won’t hold sway in the highest court in the land.

If sportsbetting does not go through then AC and The horse racing industry can say bye bye in this state. The states around NJ have slots,craps,blackjack and Poker. They just open up another racino at one of  the throughbred tracks in NY. But the thing is once NJ gets it then everyone else will want it. So how do you solve that problem?

correct me if Im wrong but if this vote passes it does not "legalize" sportsbetting.  

i hate voting for politicians because i believe they are all corrupt but this is one thing i will definitely get my ass over to vote for.....

LEGALIZE IT!!!!!!!!

Maybe those greedy fuckers in AC shoulda put some money back into the city and people would still come there. The whole city is a shithole. Do the casino's even stay open 24 hrs anymore? Last time I went the Taj and Showboat were both dead on a thursday night. I'm surprised they just dont shut down except for the weekends

Sports betting advocates see good signs on referendum

There’s early indications that the statewide referendum on sports betting is on its way to approval.

William J. Pascrell III, campaign director for Vote YES on Sports Wagering and a partner at Princeton Public Affairs Group Inc., said, “At this stage so far, the absentee (vote by mail) ballots we’ve been monitoring in northern New Jersey are running 2-to-1 for approval.’’

Polls have also showed heavy support for the measure downstate. Sports betting would be hosted by the casinos and racetracks, and a Rutgers-Eagleton report showed support from nearly three-quarters of likely voters in Monmouth, Ocean and Atlantic counties, where the casino and racetrack economies are based.

Pascrell said, “We‘re confident it‘s going to pass. We don‘t know what kind of margin it‘ll have.’’

When overseas online betting started, people thought that was the end of locals.  Now with legalized betting in racetracks, casinos, parlors, people are saying the same, but the bottom line is I don't believe a "good" local bookie will ever lose his best customers.

- People love having credit and playing week to week.
- People love not having to put a chunk of money ahead of time into an account.
- People love to make their bets without driving to a racetrack or casino.
- People love not having Uncle Sam looking over their shoulder.
- The few winning bettors out there love to know that the small window of PROFIT is tightened by paying taxes on winnings.

Personally, I used to have a few overseas books, but when Pinnacle and Matchbook went bye bye, I grabbed my money at the other shit places and cashed out.  I use two locals that when used together are better than any piece of shit online book.  I don't see NJ betting any better either.  Maybe I'll open an account just to do it and it might come in handy on a random Sunday if I'm in Atlantic City or the Meadowlands, but for ME this bullshit means nothing to me.

I placed my vote for a resounding yes.

How could the Feds of the NFL prevent NJ from doing this when it's been done in Nevada for years? How can they tell NJ they can't do what Nevada is doing?
