Racetrack sports bets will hurt Atlantic City
Gov.
Chris Christie's decision to allow sports betting at casinos and
racetracks will be another dagger to the heart of Atlantic City and our
county.
We've
already lost many gambling patrons from surrounding states. Illegally
expanding gambling to racetracks will cost Atlantic City many New Jersey
patrons as well.
If
our governor is going to disregard federal law by allowing sports
betting, he should at least follow state law and confine it to Atlantic
City. Apparently there is no federal law, state law, negotiated contract
or judge he will not toss aside.
Picture
people flocking to Atlantic City to wager on the Super Bowl or March
Madness. That won't happen if they can go to the nearest track.
