New Jersey Governor Optimistic In Sports Betting Legal Case

Cardplayer.com is reporting that New Jersey Governor Christie is just as confident as ever about his state's prospects in ultimately being allowed to offer bona fide sports wagering.  “I think New Jersey is going to be victorious ultimately,” Christie said Monday on the “Boomer and Carton in the Morning” show in New York, according to The Washington Times. "There is no reason why Las Vegas, the state of Nevada, should have a monopoly on sports gambling.”

The case is still winding its way through the courts and will likely end up at the US Supreme Court before finally being settled.  Given that, even if successful, don't expect sports betting in New Jersey for a couple of years.
