as recent as yesterday on ESPN all leagues NFL,NBA,MLB,NCAA,NHL,ETC filed suits to stop the sports wagering in delaware.....none of the sports want it except for in vegas

I just dont understand it. Call me crazy, but I got a feeling the mob is tied in all this somehow. But when the dust settles, the leagues will fail & sports betting will be allowed come football season & Delaware will have the last laugh!

I my friend have several locals & credit is a great thing. But I still enjoy walking into a casino on a Sunday night to bet the late game & enjoy a meal with friends.

I can't quote every post so here's what I have.

Bets will mirror the way it's done in Vegas. All the casinos are waiting for is the state to pick a vendor, once that's done it's just time for the vendor to get set up.

I don't know what just happen to my post.but here is the rest...

(there is some talk that they won't be ready for Sept?)
As for table games their shooting for January 2010 but it looks like red tape politics will delay it until April. One casino told me it will only take 28 days to get started once giving the ok. Tables are in storage (have been for the last couple years) cards are printed up, chips are ready to be unpacked. Dealers and cashiers are already trained will just need a refresher.

I lived 10 years in De. I moved 2 years ago to the bible belt... Boring

This has been an issue for a while now and been voted on also for years, but finally passed. Even if I still lived in De. I would still game online. There are only 3 racetracks in De. Newark/Dover/Harrington. One at the North, middle and southern end of the small state, so If you lived in MD you could reach either one in 1-2 hours. Where I lived it would have been more of a hassle to drive to a casino. Nothing beats sitting at home. I have not heard of table games but I would not doubt it, the new Gov. is all about raising state funds. Like this whole country DE is hurting. I miss DE and I am a little upset that I left but no more work up there for me. The last I heard they are looking for a book service for lines and such, time is getting short, but hell delawarians and nearby states have waited this long what's another couple months. A good question is if you are a resident can you legally bet online, or do you have to use the local casino?

The comissioner's office (NFL) had to go through the "motions"
of a law suit against wagering to make it look good ("we can't go along with this dastardly activity") when in fact they they know it is a big part of their "gig".
