Wow, NY pulled a NJ.

What a tremendous advantage this gives to New Jersey, particularly Northern New Jersey.

I can't even begin to tell you just how many Staten Islanders went to Monmouth Park this week and learned about the upcoming betting app and immediately said they would be driving across the bridge to put in their bets this coming football season.

And there will be lots of people from the rest of the New York City area.

As a transplant to NY, this is hardly surprising. Albany and Trenton are two dark pits filled with morons.

But apparently Albany has even more morons than Trenton. At least Trenton enacted sports betting.

NY state is home to the sports leagues, as well as many social interests that will be pressing over the negative effects of gambling to low-income people. They'll probably cite the OTBs.

NYRA Bets would disagree.

Murphy is a dope. Cuomo seems to be OK. Maybe I don't follow NY state politics enough. I understand Gov. Cuomo and Deblasio butt heads quite a bit. It's a shame Deblasio was re-elected.

NY's horse racing industry is still light years ahead of ours.Racinos will alleviate that problem.Norcoss may be more amenable to them now that he has the Cherry Hill sports betting operation.
