    Many of us are using some form of off-shore sportsbook to wager on sports. You've probably been using the same book for years because you trust it and/or like the lines you receive. I'm wondering - if sports betting becomes legal, would you change your online sportsbook?

    I'm sure it will seem like there's a new sportsbook popping up every night offering all forms of rewards, rollovers and bonuses. Will you leave your current book and why?

    I could easily see the bill that exists now being amended to include new jersey among nevada, orgeon, montana and whatever the last one is. I doubt they just completely take away the bill as it still technically serves a purpose, even though most of us on here dont agree with its purpose.

    If sportsbetting becomes legal they would have to open it up to all online bookies so I would go to Betfair if they are able to take bets from Americans

    I think NJ getting added is all we'll get out of this. Good for them. But most states will let this get past them. You won't go into a Piggly Wiggly or Food Lion and place bets like you can on the lottery. That is where the injustice really occurs.

    The fact is a regular joe in Peoria isn't going to be able to play at Pinny either which is what is really needed to correct the wrongs that have been done.

    I believe the last state is Delaware. My friend goes there to place wagers. Oddly enough, she said that place doesn't accept wagers on college games. I've never been there.

    I'm hoping that one day, we can place wagers at the post office. The lines are bad enough, but they have locations nearly everywhere. It would also get them out of their "financial" crisis.

    The Delaware system is pure trash. If that's all we get out of it then people will still continue to bet offshore in droves.

    Let me guess every game you play that loses was a fix? This is the dumbest thing people on this site continue to spew.

    If the NFL goes into court,any honest judge will tell them they have no standing(something Obama's stalling lawyers have been claiming for years in the eligibility cases).
     
    No NFL trademarks are being used,no telecasts of their games  are being infringed upon,just public information is being used for wagering purposes.
