Stack, l think they too busy collecting outrageous revenue from their games that are already out there at present, that they quite content with the way things are. It's the motto don't fix something that's not broke.

On a side note: Went by a local store today to collect on my superlotto plus win from last night's drawing, not much, just $10.00 on a dollar wager. This clerk who scanned the ticket opens the cash register and holds onto my 10, and says Don't you want to buy tickets for Tuesday... [ More ]

I don't think Charley Hustle was betting against his own team.

I do find it extremely hypocritical for MLB to keep Rose out of the HOF and ban him from baseball and yet allow casino billboards in the stadiums.

Sort of ironic the rule that threw Pete Rose out of the MLB was made after the Reds won the 1919 World Series. Eight players on the Chicago White Sox team were accused of fixing and intentionally losing games in the 1919 World Series. And even though the eight players were acquitted, in 1921 the new baseball commissioner Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis banned all eight players from playing major league baseball for life.

Pete Rose illegally bet on baseball games while managing the Reds, but the... [ More ]

I really doubt the California Lottery or any other state lottery will be running sports books nor will they have their 23,000 lottery retailers taking bets on football or any other sporting events. Some or all of the AC casinos might sell NJ lottery tickets and maybe they will move their lottery terminals into their sports book, but that is the only connection between the lottery and those casinos.

I believe you mean betting on NFL games is back when the season starts because people started betting on the 2018 season when the Superbowl betting lines came out. Last year the Browns went 4 - 12 against their betting line and this year you can get $1000 for $1 betting they will win it all.

There seems to be some confusion here between sports betting and lottery games when in reality, the two things (excuse the pun) are not in the same ball park. Somebody took bets on gladiators fight outco... [ More ]

I didn't know why the National Football League season begins and gambling is back. Otherwise I'm suspended for the entire football season against the spread because the Cleveland Browns failed to win a single game in the 2017-2018 National Football League Regular Season Game last season Todd

I need to look up Pete Rose from the Cincinnati Reds, he was never put into the Baseball Hall of Fame due to his shenanigans, whatever they were.

A little before my time, but reading Jerry Kramer's book, Instant Reply, I recall a story about Paul Hornung and Alex Karras getting in hot water with the league over gambling. If I recall, they were suspended for some time, don't remember how long.

My, how things have changed.

Sorry LP members who do not like my IGT posts, but have stock in Caesars and MGM as well. MGM owns Borgata Casino Resort in AC so am tickled about this. That being said, I will be like music* and never bet on sports, just sticking to MM PB, L4L and Cashball 225! (IGT provides the software).

Good Luck tonight! music

music,

The money bet legally on sports in the USA is mere chump change compared to the amount bet illegally.

This new wave of sports betting will allow a lot of average Jills and Joes to bet, but the illegal betting will still go on.

There was a bookie in Manhattan that had a policy of a 3 bet minimum, straight up bets against the spread. no parlays or gimmicks, 3 bet minimum, at least $50,000 per bet.

One casino I worked in was tight with the San Diego Chargers. Every summer Dan Fou... [ More ]

...somewhat. it's possible music, that the CA lottery is making such a killing with their present arsenal of games, that the online ones will have to take a number wait in line. Correct me if l am wrong, but which State lottery commission had a party lately, because of unprecented financial growth, where some of the adults indulged in ...... behavior. Something about the Piano bar, where a male shoved his head up a female's shirt? Where was that again, Wisconsin, or was it Wyoming

noise-gate, Remember that the first and only purpose of our California Lottery is to support education. The sole purpose in other words. This is what the voters want.

Deviation from this will bring lawsuits.

I couldn't help but wonder, whether California would travel down that path Music. After glancing at their shot across the bow with in Bold letters.. KEEP IN MIND

The California lottery does not sell its games online and does not partner with or endorse any third part businesses that claim to sell or courier California lottery products. Those are hardcore words. Given that they boast about having 23,000 authorized lottery retailers across the State. It * may be hard to see them going this ro... [ More ]

I enjoy being a fan of professional football and baseball. I just cannot budget in the necessary bets. I prefer the Lottery.

Four NJ companies roll out sports betting as NFL season kicks off

On the day the National Football League season kicked off, four gambling companies either began offering sports betting in New Jersey or announced plans to do it soon.

The Tropicana casino said Thursday that it had reached a deal with William Hill Race Sports Book to offer sports betting in the near future. No timetable was given for the launch.

Hours later, the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement said Caesars casino began online and mobile sports betting, but the casino said later i... [ More ]
