Gambling hurt Boston College a few years ago and just about wrecked college basketball in the 50's.

With so much money involved this is bound to get some schools and players who will be sucked into it so they can " get their fair share".

Discuss.
 
Degenerate gamblers were betting with bookies anyway, so legalize, regulate, monitor, and tax it. Although it will be more prevalent, sports gambling will be more out in the open as it becomes legal in the different states.

Estimated Billions were bet illegally...let the state's get some much needed revenue from the activity!
 
The issue will be at what cost to the game / players. College sports wise. I could care less about pro sports. Most are starting to sink anyway.

I look for ( in five years ) for the WV casinos to crawl to the state house to lobby for legalization of prostitution. "They do it in Vegas!" will be there battle cry.

They don't actually have legal prostitution in Vegas or Reno, they restrict it to out in the desert. But we all know it's been going on for years out there and in Huntington,Charleston, Parkersburg, Beckley, etc.
