    GOOD public policy?? Not a gambler myself, appears to me an awful lot of people bet on all sports, illegally. If revenue from slots at the racetrack and a sports book type of controlled sports betting could lower our taxes or keep the dreaded upcoming gas tax hike at bay, I prefer it to what we usually get dumped on us here: higher and higher taxes, fines, fees, penalties for NJ! Why can’t we ever catch a break?

    Hopefully there is a positive outcome in the Court of Appeals. The joke here is the NFL’s claim that legalized sports betting in NJ would harm its sport. Keep in mind that there are hundreds of locations (casinos/sports books) where you can legally be on NFL games (and other major sports) in Nevada. I think most people would subscribe to the claim that gambling is a major driver of interest in the NFL rather than something that is doing it harm.
