The past, present and future of sports gambling, tonight on xfinity sports sunday. Good evening. Welcome to xfinity sports sunday. Im jim kozimor. Tonights game was interesting. To many, it was interesting because ravens were getting 3 1 2, the overunder was 42. In virtually every game played, could find way to make it more interest, by gambling. Not just nfl, from pros to college game, millions of dollars change hands because of sports gambling. S saturday nights college game between lq and alabama had an estimated 150 million bet on it. In 2010, the numbers were staggering, 2. 7 billion were bet on sporting events with football responsible for almost 1. 2 billion of that. Why more states arent in the gambling game. Reporter in the bright lights of las vegas and venues across nevada, sports are being wagered and taking advantage of legal games. Others want in. If gambling became a law that you could gamble legally on sports teams, there would be a tremendous amount of money generated because theres been a tremendous amount of money generated everyday. Narrator which brings us to the garden state where theyre looking to pick the low hanging fruit. Lawmakers in jersey missed a federal deadline in the early 90s to join states where Sports Betting is legal in the eyes of the United States government. While nevada is the only state currently exercising these rights, new jersey is suing the federal government in an effort to overturn the act and asking voters statewide this tuesday if they want to make sports b betting legal. If successful, how long before we see similar measures in california and could it ever fund the construction of new sports vin yous in the United States. I dont think gaming will be be the next one to do it. Worpt teams, yes, finance, yes. You and i going to buy lottery tickets or putting something down at our local casino in order to pay for new sports venues. A lot of what has prompted new jerseys attempt to legalize Sports Betting is the new tax revenue where bets could be placed at casinos and horse racing tracks. Meanwhile, a day at races has changed in many day, Golden Gate Fields has seen the effects off track betting has had on attendance. Its significant. Well less than half of the money wagered runs through our paramutual system at golden gate is coming from places not here. Reporter taking it one step further, if california racetracks could one day take bets on professional sports teams will the time ever come we see gameday bets taken on the arenas. It already happens in entrepreneured a somer arenas and but they need to have it around sports. I never thought wed see the day in a supermarket alley and see 32 different typings of water. And teams are sporting names proudly on their league and premier leg nfl is named for a corporate sponsor. Theres more money bet on other sports probably than horse racing. It would be helpful that way. You have the lobby of the nfl and vegas and Atlantic City that want to control what they have. If it was, it would be many years down the road. We thank you for that report. We bring in chuck esposito, our sports insider. In vegas, how much of a role are they playing to try to prevent other states from getting involved in sports gambling . I think were looking to expand it. If we can expand that product and be the leader there, there as a tremendous amount of advantage to us increasing revenue across the country. Really . You facebookithink if another s involved, it helps vegas . I do. Its become so popular and a winwin for everyone answered added source of revenue for a lot of states. If you can accept wagers via the internet or phone, theres a tremendous advantage to increase handle statewide. If im the Sports League dont i say, not only do i want it open, i want a piece of the pie. I want to game at my arena, stadium, could that happen . It could. In 1990, Congress Passed the previously and amateur sports protection act that banned Sports Betting in every state but four. Those would need to be changed. Its an uphill battle. I think you will still see it, but the question is when . The next five years or 20 year down the road. Thats the big question now. In other countries it is easier to gamble legally on sports whether cricket or English Premier League or rugby. We have also seen corruption in those cases. Are you concerned there would be more corruption in the states if we legalize it, more wide express. I think that opens up the door and if we regulate it and become the watchdogs and do everything to prevent that, i think it becomes a winwin for everyone moving forward. Lets move forward. Whats the future of sports gambling going to look like in america . From a technology standpoint, its limitless. Theres applications you can wager from your mobile device within the state of New Foundland nevada and wager from many difference things. From a technology standpoint, the sky is the limit and will continue to evolve with each passing year that really takes it to the next level, where you can wager from your mobile device within the state of nevada as we speak. A new wild west. Chuck chuck, thanks for your time. Thanks for having me on. The action isnt always on the field. Why the nfl might have a hand in holding back legalized gambling. Ne. Ho howdy folks jack box here, with my new outlaw burger. Other places have bbq burgers, but not with the kick this one has outlaw means its loaded with hickorysmoked bacon, onion rings and topped with my bourbon barbecue sauce. And ill tell you somethin else they dont have my outlaw spicy chicken sandwich. Yehaw whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. Ride that spicy chicken fist place 49ers taking on redskins, another nice day for frank gore, gets loose, runs for 129 yards, run for the day. Alex smith, airs it out to bruce miller, a touchdown. 49ers hold on 1911. First winning streak since 97. Reporter the 49ers improved 71 on the leg of david akers and didnt allow a touchdown until two minutes left in the game and forced three turnovers. Theyre playing really good footba football. Playing unselfish football. Keep showing up time and time again . Consummate team guys, the way they play. Frank gore recorded his fifth consecutive game with more than 100 yards rush, a franchise first. For the first time this season, the 49ers offense was held without a rushing touchdown, something theyd like to correct as they move toward the playoff. Thank you. We continue on xfinity sports sunday and should gambling be legal and one state is moving towards this avenue. The state of new jersey has put the wheels in motion and governor christie explains why. I think its important for new jersey to have this option. Gambling is surrounding us anywhere. I dont think any of us is under the illusion of that in this state. Lets get that economy up from underground and let the people benefit from it. From the gaming association, explaining the states push to legalize sports gambling. This is most common form of gambling in the country, more common than lotteries and casino gambling. Only two states currently offer it, tax it and regulate it is absurd. Theres an argument to be made about protecting the integrity of the game, but i think weve demonstrated that its more logical to think games can be protect fiveday forecast theyre licensed and regulated by the states than if theyre simply left to the whims of the grey market and black market, as they currently are right now. I think states will take a much more serious look at this because theyre looking at multibillion economies within their midsts, they do not realize any revenue from. We bring in senior insider, ray. We hear about pro leagues trying to keep gambling at arms lefngh and may be lobbying to keep it from being legal. What are they afraid of . That maybe they wont get their piece of the action. You cant go into a casino in north dakota to do this. You can get a bet down if you want to in any state of the United States you want. The issue here frankly i think boils down to this. In nfl and Major League Baseball and National Baseball association, can they get a hunk of the action. Theyre not stopping gambling and working with las vegas to try to monitor suspicious line moves so theyre already in bed with each other there. This is a question whether the government will get the money or whether the leagues do. Ray, well hear from you later with implications of gambling straight ahead. Monetizing the best of the best. We had to london to get the scoop on pros andons c of legalized gambling straight from the source. [ man ] i got this citi thank you card and started earning loads of points.

Eight points separating carl edwards and tony stewart. Stewart in the lead, holds off edwards, takes the checkered flag. Stewart three points behind the leader, carl edwards with two race goes. Spin those tires. Two afc west teams, raiders off the bye week, 1714, raiders, Carson Palmer goes to work, to the end zone, two touchdown passes but three interceptions. Eddie royal fields the punt for 85 yards for the touchdown and broncos win, 3824. Legal gambling on sports, it happens around the world, in places like australia, new zeala zealand, even Great Britain. You can legally place a bet next to the stadium, take your ticket in and enjoy the game. Lets continue our indepth look at the current state of sports and gambling and joined by rupert adams, at our bureau in london, england. Thank you for joining us. What effects have you noticed in Great Britain since betting laws were relaxed in 2005. If anything, things have improved in terms of turnover. More people interested in it. The key for us was the national lottery, something you already have in the states. That suddenly made it socially acceptable to gamble, no longer something done behind closed doors a bit naughty or cheeky and lets have a bet on the tv program or the match. In gambling, there are certain evil, including abuse of the privilege and addiction. Has open gambling led to an increase in people in gamblers anonymous in Great Britain . Absolutely. Like all these things, if you go from a seconds of the public being 1 gambling to 10 gambling, you are going to increase the number of people. You have a problem. Its not a disaster, hasnt been a social implosion of people suddenly betting every penny they own. Its something that does affect a small number of people but the vast majority of people you do have a bet can be sentenceable and bet sums of money they can afford to win and lose. And in cricket, is that a concern . And has legalized gambling affected the number of Corruption Cases . If anything, the number of Corruption Cases have slightly gone up. The reason being we have a sensibly Intelligent Recording system. With something uncomfortable, for example a match where we expect to take 10,000 pounds and suddenly have 150,000 pounds, thats strange, all our screens go red and get in touch with the Gambling Commission and talk to the relevant fa or the body of that sport is. Very quickly, get our eyes on anything that is dodgy. If anything, i think the report ing structure has gotten so much better and systems so much better. The positive of legalized sports gambling is revenue. How has the government and citizens benefits since new laws were enacted . We obviously pay our taxes like everyone else. Its a highly profitable business. Particularly three or four big ones and we pay vast sums of money, employee 14,000 people, any number of things we do. In terms of revenue, theyve done excellently. In terms of high street, the only shops opening. In 2003, we opened 350. No doubt the society for a whole has gained from the betting industry. Rupert adams of the William Hills sports group, we thank you for joining us. William hills was the sponsor of a match i watched over the weekend. Senior insider. What about states legalizing gambling . Whats the down side there . The only real downside is that youre again going to get into a fight about where the moneys going to go. Weve already seen leagues try to control their own statistics so they can make money off the fantasy world. Basically, there is no real issue about whether sports are against gambling or not. Its really about getting their slice. The fact that the nfl, again, works with las vegas on stuff like this, Major League Baseball has advertising for casinos, most of the walls have broken down. The only issue here is really whos going to get this windfall . Is it going to go straight to the government to handle the massive deficits they have . Is it going to go to the leagues . Just going to the sports books . I think at this point thats where the real fight is. Youre not going to see it publicly. What you will get this is argument not whether or not it should be legal or not, rampant now, who will cash in. After we figure who cashes in on this, the pie keeps growing. The naysayers, what about scandal and fixing. If you make it legal, there will be more of this going on. Im not sure theres a direct correlation between those two. Sports have become far more lucrative. There will be fixing going on no matter whether gambling is legal or not. Gambling will exist. Italy, where gambling is legal. Theyve had, you know, enormous matching fixing scandals and often revolve around not so much whether somebody is betting on somebody but to try to figure out what teams will get into a playoff and what teams will get relegated. There are lots of reasons to fix matches. Legalizing gachlling, i dont think, will is the linchpin on that. Theres money to be made somewhere, whether legal or not. Just enjoy the games, i say. Who are these people putting money down. An interesting topic. That will do it. 30 rock is next f i hate getting less. But i love getting more. Id trade a lot less for a little more. Or a little less for a lot more. Either way, when it comes to having more, i want a lot more of more and a little less of less. And thats exactly what youll get at embassy suites. More free breakfast, more for my money, more deliciousness, more hearty guffaws. [ guffaws ] because more than enough more is never enough more. More coffee . What do you think . [ female announcer ] free breakfast. More room. Complimentary drinks. Embassy suites hotels
