The hypocrisy of the four major sports leagues and the NCAA shows its ugly head once more in America, the NFL, NBA, MLB and the NCAA have asked a federal judge for a preliminary injunction to prevent that Delaware’s implements their sport betting plans.
The request calls for the ban on betting on NFL (National Football League) matches or other sports in the three casinosof the state. Should the request be approved, that means there is little chance their plans to have sports betting in place before the new season on 10th September. Lawyer of Governor Jack Markell said that it is clear some form of sports betting will go forward in Delaware, despite the injunction yesterday. Representative Pete Schwartzkopf, who has written the sports betting bill, send a letter to the sport competitions that they can’t have a cake and eat it too, and explains the close relationship between gambling and sport competitions.
In the letter, Schwartzkopf noted that the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) threatened Delaware with sanctions because of sports betting, but the NCAA basketball tournament benefits from the office pools. He also noted that the Maloof Family who owns the NBA (National Basketball Association) club Sacremento Kings, also owns the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. Gary Loveman, CEO at Harrah’s entertainment, one of the largest casino gambling operators in Nevada, has shares in the Boston Celtics. Schwartzkopf wrote: “Apparently, the NBA is not as concerned about the integrity of the league when their money is at stake.” Maloof did say he think its a good thing that well regulated sports bettingwould help prevent problems such as match-fixing. About the NFL Schwartzkopf said the NFL’s TV contracts with several networks also punch holes in their legal argument because the Web sites of those networks refer to sports gamblingor fantasy sports. Delaware gets help from New Jersey, Ray Lesniak, Senator in New Jersey said he sent a copy of his research from a previous case asking to legalise sports gamblingnation wide, to the lawyer of Delaware. Lesniak said: “It’s time for other states and Congress to take notice that the federal ban is hypocritical.” The MLB (Major League Baseball) and the NHL (National Hockey League) were not available for comment.
The controversial gambling ban in Russia that implemented on 1st July which made all gambling halls and casinos disappear from the Russian landscape, has a follow up story. Because the Russian authorities added poker to the list of illegal gambling.
Months before the casino gambling ban was implemented, many casino operators was thinking of changing their casino into a poker room to save their business, because poker would still be legal under the gambling ban. Now, a couple of weeks after the implementation of the casino gambling ban and many clubs switched to poker, the authority’s say a mistake was made and poker is to be considered as illegal gambling. Vialy Mutko, the minister of sports, tourism, and youth politics says that poker is not a sport, and was wrongly catalogued as one in 2007. The minister said: “The decision about accepting a sport into the list should be made by a ministerial commission and not by the leadership of the Federal Fitness and Sports Agency.” The Russian Association for Gaming Business Development reported that the situation regarding gambling halls and casinos is a mess, and that it has created a strange situation that caused a lot of chaos. The sports list remarkably has the card game bridge listed as a sport, this game also requires players to place bets. In addition, lotteries are still legal. The European Poker Tour which is held from 18 to 23th of August, originally would take place in Moscow, but with poker now being illegal, the organisation moved the event to Kiev in Ukraine. The action by the Russian government is a step back for the gambling industry, and many gamblers are expected to go abroad or find other means to find the thrill of gambling.
