Sports Betting LEGAL in Delaware
According to the Associated Press ...
Delaware Governor Jack Markell signed the bill allowing betting on sports into law on Thursday. The only state east of the Mississippi River to allow betting on sports!
BIG news for sports!!! But is it?
Sports betting could face a legal challenge by professional sports leagues.
Governor Markell's plan for legalizing sports lottery is to address a projected shortfall of more than $600 million for the coming fiscal year.
The NFL has already filed a legal brief with the state Supreme Court according to the Wilmington Delaware News Journal. Their argument -- games cannot be considered a situation of chance because skill "plays an impermissible" role.
Nevada, Montana, Oregon and Delaware are the four states grandfathered under a 1992 federal law that bans sports gambling.
When will sports betting be available?
According to the Officials, they expect ---
In three months for sports betting.
In six months for table games such as poker, blackjack, craps and routlette.

Jack Elway, son of Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway, quits football and dad is OK with his decision.
Jack Elway, a redshirt freshman at Arizona State, decided to leave the team last month.
Following in the footsteps of a famous father is not easy -- especially when you don't love the sport to the degree necessary to withstand a sport that is both physical and brutal at times.
Jack will remain at Arizona State to complete his education.
