Sports Wagering In Delaware?

Well it is really no surprise since technically Delaware is one of the few states that actually legalizes sports wagering. Now Delaware wants to actually implement a sports wagering lottery type of contest that could help provide a small boost to the state's bottom line. Well in reality betting on sports like investing in the stock market is not a lost art to many people. And this does not simply apply to Americans either. For many, sports are a form of entertainment and so if you are not partaking as a fan, you find interest in a game by partaking as a wagerer. I do not see the really slippery slope problem with what Delaware wants to do because either way you look at it gambler are going to be gamblers. Whether it is legal or not does not mean it is not being done all over the place. Just look at the war on drugs all over the world which is tantamount to sports wagering. 

Nowadays, I think sports wagering is not as shady as it once was in due large part to the amount of money the key people are making in the current era. In addition, David Stern has taken a stance against gambling despite the fact his officials now are caught in a stereotype due to former referee Tim Donaghy's indictment for fixing games. Whether Donaghy was a rogue official or not, most sports bettors are gamblers and gamblers are people who bet on anything. Some can make a living off their luck and acument but most do not. There are way too many factors to take into account that every individual player, coach, official, team, or casino posting odds for games is on the up and up for every game played. But gambers do not care about that because they believe they have the ability to get a rush and win when they are laying down their money even when odds are stacked against them. And this is why Delaware would like to "legalize" a sports lottery in the state because gamblers are everywhere. And all it takes is a few wins or losses at the tables or on sports events for a recreational wagerer to become an addict. Either way, there are too many factors for modest gamblers to try and affect the outcome of a sporting event. It is no longer the 1900s and there is too much money involved for gamblers and their accumulated money to have any effect on the games. If anything, it is the large numbers of corporations and sponsors who do business with the owners and commissioner coupled with television that controls how these games are scheduled and run. Gambling is what it is and so why not legalize it instead of declaring it "illegal" when gambling is no longer synonymous with Las Vegas, Nevada.
