Delaware moves one step closer to sports wagering

EaglesLinc · 05-14-2009, 02:49 PM

Delaware's House passed sports wagering legislation by a vote of 30-4. It now moves to the Senate where it is expected to pass as well. The exact details of what kind of betting will be allowed still needs to be determined, but they are moving in the right direction.

A big AMEN to the smart heads in Delaware

Forgive me if I am being naive on this but will this mean the death of Atlantic City finally?

Not really, but AC is going to be in trouble. PA now has casino slots and with Rendell as Govenor tables will soon follow. Delaware offers slots along with horse racing and sports wagering will be an added bonus.

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.
