LISTEN: New Jersey Argues For Legal Sports BettingGarden State Asking High Court For PASPA Repeal |
|
Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court heard about an hour’s worth of oral arguments for why a 1992 law that bans sports betting outside of Nevada is unconstitutional.
The high court has now published audio of the high-stakes hearing to its website.
The Justices are expected to issue a ruling by June of 2018. New Jersey says that it can kick off sports betting within weeks of a favorable ruling from the court. Experts say the ruling could be one of the most important from the Supreme Court this century.
The case was argued by Ted Olson, a former U.S. Solicitor General under George W. Bush.
The major sports leagues and the NCAA are on the other side of the issue, as they sued New Jersey to stop it from launching sports books at Atlantic City casinos after the state tried in 2012 to circumvent the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act.
Americans wager about $150 billion a year on sports, according to the casino industry.
