NJ Sportsbetting Vote Nov 8th

It's the first step in a long process but we need to vote yes to get the ball rolling. 

It does have momentum however not a slam dunk getting passed.  Remember us gamblers are a minority, however its being presented as this will help employment, atlantic City and the local economy.

I think the measure will pass but the Feds will try to stop it in the courts. I can't see this happening in the next two years so please don't get your hopes up for betting on the Steelers in NJ anytime soon.

Who cares, atleast we'll have an out to get bets down.

Vegas is well, Vegas.. But Vegas will never have the ocean. AC has the potential to be as big or bigger than Nevada. After they get sports gambling, they MUST start to get the 'element' out of AC. Jersey should pour all its resources into AC and redo that entire city. Forget about what Casinos are in PA, CT, or DE.. AC can and should be a huge focal point for gambling once this gets the go-ahead

Sports betting advocates see good signs on referendum

There’s early indications that the statewide referendum on sports betting is on its way to approval.

William J. Pascrell III, campaign director for Vote YES on Sports Wagering and a partner at Princeton Public Affairs Group Inc., said, “At this stage so far, the absentee (vote by mail) ballots we’ve been monitoring in northern New Jersey are running 2-to-1 for approval.’’

Polls have also showed heavy support for the measure downstate. Sports betting would be hosted by the casinos and racetracks, and a Rutgers-Eagleton report showed support from nearly three-quarters of likely voters in Monmouth, Ocean and Atlantic counties, where the casino and racetrack economies are based.

Pascrell said, “We‘re confident it‘s going to pass. We don‘t know what kind of margin it‘ll have.’’
