Atlantic City Sports Betting? Yes or No
Should the Congress allow Sports Betting in Atlantic City if a bill is created and submitted?
First, let me say I’m a huge believer that legalized Sports Betting in Atlantic City will help to catapult the cities future growth. Here are some valid reasons to support this statement:
#1 - With addition of Philadelphia Riverfront Casinos in 2007, slot parlors at Delaware Park and Philadelphia Park Race Tracks and a new casino being built in the Pennsylvania Pocono’s, Atlantic City needs an edge to compete. The largest number of bet’s come in for the SuperBowl held each February. January and February are the 2 slowest months for Atlantic City Casinos and hotel occupancy. This will boost business for these winter slow periods.
#2 - Billions of dollars are being bet via Online Sports Books and illegal book makers on an annual basis, legalized Sports Betting in Atlantic City will take a large share of these bet’s, AC would be the only place on the East Coast to make a legal sports bet.
#3 - The fact that New Jersey has sports teams and a large number of universities that would be exempt from betting is no big deal. In Las Vegas several teams are removed from betting, ie UNLV etc.
In Closing, anyone supporting the Legalization of Atlantic City should rally behind the effort and reach out to Jeff Vandrew to see what he or she can do to help. Let’s take a stand and make something happen that will guarantee the growth of our ATLANTIC CITY, NJ.
