From Philly.com Quote:
Even on Thursday, as Gov. Jack Markell signed the enabling legislation in a Delaware Park VIP lounge, in front of a giant video scoreboard that listed odds on all that day's sporting matchups, few in the state were willing to bet on just how Delaware's new sports-wagering system might work.
"The shape it will take, that's not really clear at this point," said Corey Morowitz, an Atlantic City-based gambling consultant who has advised Delaware.
Will it be a football pool-type lottery like the one that flopped in Delaware in 1976? Will bettors be allowed to wager on single sporting events, in casino-style luxury, as they can in Las Vegas? Or will they be restricted to parlays - single bets on two or more events - as is the case in several Canadian provinces?
No one will know until Delaware's Supreme Court, which is scheduled to begin deliberations on the issue this week, rules on the issue.
| It should be interesting what kind of bets will and won't be allowed.
