Four states allow sports beting: DE, MT, NV, and OR. DE used to have NFL betting in its lottery.

And begins poring over his sports betting slips.

Between bites, Christian fills in circles like he is taking a sports SAT, pausing to think before committing to his answers. On this day, the subject is Olympic hockey.
