my opinion about the supreme court decision regarding PASPA--

no different than not being able to bet on unlv games right?

Well, it is different as a matter of scale. There are more people in NJ who want to bet on Rutgers than people in Vegas who want to bet on UNLV. Also, UNLV is a city based team and NJ is possibly going to ban an entire state from wagering on multiple teams.

What if PA does this and residents can't wager on any Pitt, Penn St, Temple, and Villanova games? This would include bowls and March Madness.

It is a lot different.

I want to see if I understand this correctly. NJ is taking 8% of the gross bet as a tax?
that's obscene but not shocking if true.

West Virginia is going to take 10% and PA is planning on taking 34%

That's pretty much what the current sales tax is here anyways so it's not such a shocking thing.

The local bookies will gladly take action from Pa colleges on the rotation schedule. Pa never mentioned they would not take bets on Pa schools.

Yeah, don't know why Pa stuck out those high numbers......maybe they don't really want betting? I just don't see how they wouldn't. Maybe some retard came up with those numbers.

I think they will write up the regulations & pass a new tax rate much less than 34%.......if we don't have legal betting in Pa by football season, then I will continue with my locals......but I don't see Pa sitting on the sidelines for the football season, while NJ & Delaware are bringing in the money.

PA chose 34% because that is the tax on table games and slots.
