People only drive in one direction?

If that was the case we would just use one stop sign.

We also have all of these little places that are nothing but small prefab homes used for video gambling machines.

They are only allowed to have 5 to 10 machines per these small places to get under some kind of law.

They do have what is basically casinos in some areas like at the Dog Track that are allowed to have a good number of gambling machines.

The dog tracks and other gambling has went on for years.

However these small places have popped up everywhere within the last few years.

That statement is just for the PC heads. It really doesn't mean anything. Place your bets!

That may have been true 20 years ago

Their Union has been very successful at getting more and more money while still crying poor

Public school kids are getting 18-20k is some districts

In some states they are getting paid well. In others not so much. In many states they are just at or slightly above median income. Tell me how many professions that require a higher level of education get paid at or slightly above median income?

Maybe but even small towns have at least one geek wanting to introduce and use newfangled technology

I'm hoping New Jersey casino sportsbooks are open before the July 4th holiday.

Matter of time?

Reminder the NFL did not want the states to have the ability to gamble on Sports.

Funny thing is... In New Jersey which pushed this.

The place they want to put it in is in the race track next to Met Life Stadium - home of the Jets and Giants.

As a huge NFL and fight fan (boxing/mma), this is great news.

Can’t wait for this to become a reality in the casinos nearby.

You'll have a Paddy Power in every small town within a couple of years.

Time for me to make some poor decisions!

There is a race track next to Met Life Stadium but they won't be taking bets for quite awhile, they are no where near ready.

Monmouth race track is a one hour drive from Met Life Stadium. Monmouth race track will probably be the first ones to start taking sports bets in NJ.

AC is about one hour and forty minutes from Met Life Stadium and will probably start taking sports bets very soon after Monmouth Race Track.

Pro tip- don't bet on sports, you will likely have heart breaks.

I only bet on the Steelers winning outright. That way if they win I make money and if they lose I'm happier yet.

I know I lived about 20 minutes from the Medowlands.

My Score shares are up 70%, so that is a nice perk, lol - Gambling is big business.....As a company - If you have the app and the user base - those companies are a step ahead in reaping rewards if people start doing more sports betting on their phones....

So, when can I go to my local Hooters and place bets with my waitress??
