-A HISTORIC RULING:
o start, it's likely that bets will have to be placed at brick-and-mortar establishments, but states are making plans to offer mobile sports betting in the future.
One research firm estimated before the ruling that if the Supreme Court were to strike down PASPA, 32 states would likely offer sports betting within five years. The American Gaming Association estimates that Americans illegally wager about $150 billion on sports each year
-SPORTS GAMBLING LEGALIZED
-HOW QUICKLY CAN YOU BET?
-LEAGUES WANT TO GENERATE REVENUE, ASKING FOR .25 PER BET NOW DOWN FROM $1 - WHAT LEVERAGE DO THEY HAVE?
-HOW DOES THIS AFFECT VEGAS?
-DOES THIS POSE THREATS TO THE INTEGRITY OF SPORTS?
-MLB, NBA LEADING THE CHARGE -- THEY INFLUNCED LEGILATION
-VEGAS NFL AND NHL TEAMS---NCAAS COULD GO THERE NOW...
--LEGALIZING ALL VICES ---IS THAT A GOOD THING?
ERSTOMATED $150B is wagered online , vegas made a record $250M LAST YEAR FROM SPORTS GAMBLING
-WON'T BENEFIT THE COMMON MAN - LOGIC WOIULD TELL YOU SOMEHOW WE WOULD BENEFIT AS A SOCIETY -- WE WON
T NOT LOWER TAXES---YOU SPEND WHAT YOU MAKE
-WE WILL HAVE ISSUES --PEOPLE CAN'T HELP THEMSELVES
-IS IT GOOD TO LEGALIZE ALL VICXES FOR PROFIT?

This impact of the ruling will not be fully felt immediately and will largely depend on how the individual states decide to regulate betting nyp.st/2GgwTBB

BUMMED ABOUT MATT MILLEN
ake a closer look. Millen, 60, has that pale-faced look you sometimes see in people deep into chemotherapy. The four-time Super Bowl-winning linebacker was noted for playing with intelligent abandon for the Raiders, Niners and Washington, but he doesn’t do much with abandon these days. He just had his weekly chemo treatment the previous day, and he’s surprised he’s feeling up to doing as much as he’s done on one of the first warm mornings of the year here. Millen’s down around 50 pounds in the past year, chasing a cure for a disease called amyloidosis that is particularly evil: He needs debilitating chemotherapy now to fight amyloid, a rogue protein that attacks organs (his heart, in this case). Because the amyloid is attacking his heart, he’ll eventually need a heart transplant to have a chance to live many more years.
“We’re in the fourth quarter of a big football game,” Millen said. “We’re down 13. Playing defense. It’s getting late.”
Millen thought, and he laughed. He does a lot of laughing. He is not impressed with his own mortality, nor does he have the slightest problem discussing it.
“We need a stop,” he said. “We need a big stop.”
