The Supreme Court has cleared the way for states to legalize betting on sports, breaking a longtime ban and creating a potential financial boon for
states and the gambling industry. The first bets could be placed within
weeks.
The high court has struck down a federal law that had barred betting on football, basketball, baseball and other sports in most states. States that want
to take advantage of the ruling now will generally have to pass legislation to
allow sports books to open.
Sports leagues had expressed concerns about any expansion of sports gambling. But the ruling also could be seen as bringing a popular activity out of the
shadows. Americans wager about $150 billion on sports each year illegally,
according to the American Gaming Association.

An oddsmaker at one Las Vegas resort sees little chance that betting in other states will siphon business away from Las Vegas.
Westgate race and sports book chief Jay Kornegay calls Monday’s U.S. Supreme Court decision allowing sports betting in states an opportunity for which sports
books have been preparing for a long time.
Kornegay says tourists don’t just come to Las Vegas to wager at the sports book. They also visit restaurants, casino tables, stores, pool venues, theaters
and nightclubs.
Kornegay predicts crowd will still come for big events like the NCAA basketball March Madness tournament, the NFL Super Bowl, boxing and mixed
martial arts fights, and the Kentucky Derby and Breeders’ Cup horse races.
He says people who are introduced to legal gambling in their home states might then want to visit Las Vegas.

An executive with a company that owns casinos in 18 states and Ontario, Canada, says the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on sports gambling could begin a
”land rush” for states to enact sports wagering laws.
Penn National Gaming senior vice president Eric Schippers says West Virginia is already at work on regulations to enable sports betting in that state by the
start of the NFL season in September.
Penn National operates the Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races, about 60 miles west of Washington, D.C.
The company also operates the Tropicana resort on the Las Vegas Strip and the M Resort in suburban Henderson, Nevada.

Casino giant Caesars Entertainment says you can bet it will expand its sports wagering business to states where it says secure and responsible gambling is
legalized.
It’s not talking yet about details.

well-regulated alternative that sports fans can trust.
Las Vegas-based Caesars operates 47 casinos in 13 U.S. states and five countries.
Frissora says the company will announce its specific approach to adding sports books after regulations evolve from the court ruling.

New Jersey lawmakers have introduced new legislation that would regulate and tax sports betting, hours after the U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for
states to legalize it.
A bill sponsored Monday by Democratic state Senate president Steve Sweeney and others would set an 8 percent tax rate for bets made in person at casinos
and racetracks, and 12.5 percent on online bets.
The state Division of Gaming Enforcement, Casino Control Commission, and state Racing Commission would all be involved in regulating sports bets that
would be placed through casinos and racetracks.
The bill would presumably supplant one introduced last week that would have paid an ”integrity fee” to the sports leagues, in effect giving them a cut of
the proceeds from sports betting.

PHOENIX — Give Arizona left-hander Robbie Ray an “A” in self-evaluation.
Ray won his final six regular-season decisions in 2017 after missing a month with a concussion suffered when he was struck in the head by a line drive in St.
Louis on July 28. Then last Wednesday, he spun six scoreless innings in a 2-1
victory over Florida in his first start after missing 58 days with an oblique
injury.
Ray will face the Cardinals again on Monday, in the first game of a three-game series at Chase Field. Right-hander Carlos Martinez will start for
the Cardinals.
“Obviously, I’m not going to go out there if I don’t feel 100 percent,” said Ray, a first-time All-Star in 2017.
“There is a constant line of communication between me and Torey (manager Lovullo). He was open with me. He wanted me to make another rehab start. I made
it clear that I felt like I was ready. It felt good to be back on the mound and
to be good to put up some zeroes for this team and help us win.”
Both Arizona and St. Louis enter the series after being swept, the Diamondbacks losing three to NL West rival San Francisco and the Cardinals
dropping three to NL East-leading Atlanta.
That was only a slight hiccup for the Diamondbacks, whose 19 victories in June tied for the most in the majors. They led the majors with 11 triples and
were second in runs in the month. Starting pitchers had 15 victories, also the
most in the majors, capped by wins by Ray and Zack Greinke in the final two
games of a four-game series in Miami early last week.
The D-backs have lost only two of their last 10 series, both to San Francisco, while recovering from a 2-15 skid in May.
“You are going to have ups and downs,” Ray said. “That was a little bit of an extended down
http://www.cowboysauthorizedshops.com/authentic-bo-scarbrough-jersey , but good teams find a way to break out of that. I feel like we’ve done that this
month.
“It’s another thing we have going on. The dynamic in this clubhouse, we are never down on ourselves. Guys were in here playing music every single day.
Nothing has changed. We understand that there is a process, and you have to
stick with it. The second that you start changing who you are and over-analyzing
a little bit, it can weigh on you.
“We just come in there every day like it’s a new day. We prepare every day the same way, and we don’t change anything.”
The Cardinals have been careening a bit. They have lost four in a row after winning four straight, a run that ended another three-game losing streak. They
have lost 12 of 18 since peaking at eight games over .500 on June 11.
St. Louis has scored 11 runs in their last four games after clobbering Cleveland’s Corey Kluber, scoring six runs off his in 1 2/3 innings, the
shortest outing of his major league career.
Martinez (4-4) won that game, his first in five starts since returning from the disabled list, giving up two runs with eight strikeouts in six innings. He
had a 1.62 ERA in eight starts before going on the disabled list and has 6.75
ERA in five starts since returning. His issue has been walks, 43 in 72 2/3
innings.
The Cardinals have considered moving first baseman Jose Martinez to the outfield in an attempt to increase their run production, but Martinez started at
first again Sunday.
“The bat has to be (in the lineup),” Cardinals manager Mike Matheny told reporters over the weekend. “You’ve got a guy who’s been as consistent as
anybody we’ve had all season. So you’ve got to find a place for him.
“We’ve never ruled out the outfield. None of that is out of the question. We haven’t featured that yet but it’s something that has been in the conversation.
He’s been doing work out there
http://www.redskinsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-jonathan-allen-jersey , too. But, right now, it’s how do we improve at first base?”
Carlos Martinez has had good success against Arizona, with a 2.88 ERA in eight appearances. That ERA ranks 20th among active major leaguers with at least
30 innings against the Diamondbacks. Martinez has been even more successful at
Chase Field, with a 2.11 ERA, fifth among those with at least 20 innings.
Martinez has given up one homer against the Diamondbacks, that coming to Gerardo Parra in their first meeting. Since then, he has gone 33 1/3 innings
without giving up a homer to them.
Ray (3-0) is 1-2 with a 4.60 ERA in four career starts against the Cardinals. He was removed after being struck by Luke Voit liner in the second inning of the
July 28 start last season.
