With the current rule, New Jersey will not be enjoying sports betting soon

The legalization of sport betting in New Jersey will not take place anytime soon. This comes after a second order from the U.S Third Circuit of Appeals in Philadelphia ruled on a 2-1 decision on the 25th of August. Judge Marjorie Rendell did not hesitate in ruling congruence to the 2012 ruling that forbidden legalization of sports betting in New Jersey.

The signing of the amended legislature by Gov. Chris Christie backed by his fellow lawmakers of the state was not enough to advocate for sports betting as the state law claimed that it still went against the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) that was initiated by the congress back in 1992.

The failure of initiation of sports betting by Monmouth Park which went down from the ruling by US District Judge Michael Shipp prompted for an appeal at the US Third Circuit on 25th of August with hope that favor will be on their side only for Rendell and Judge Maryanne Trump to end their dreams.

According to Senator Raymond Lesniak, the state will fight more and more until they are given a go ahead to initiate sports betting and now will be heading to appeal the case to a higher court with hope that their argument will be heard. The senator feels that this time their appeal will go through after he oversaw the third judge; Judge Fuentes in the three judge jury at the US Third Circuit of Appeal Court support their appeal by claiming that it didn’t go against any federal law on sports betting. He added that this would be their basis as they convince the Third Circuit panel to go over their final decision in the abolishment of sports betting in New Jersey.

The Senator’s efforts may be fruitful as a spokesman from the acting Attorney General John J. Hoffman, Lee Moore claimed that they are trying to consider revisiting the ruling that was made on the 25th of August.

American Gaming Association President Geoff Freemanclaimed that this ruling has propelled them into putting into consideration the best options that the State will be accorded in terms of sports betting. The fact that there is a total of $140 million that is gambled illegally, the aspect of the law living to its dreams are very low.

Us pro advocates rushed to the Third Court of Appeals in Philadelphia with the aim of having a ruling in their favour but were shocked as the court ruling was backed by 2-1 and in turn giving no chance to the State in trying to circumvent the 1992 Professional & Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA).

This appeal by the New Jersey State has been in progress for nearly a year now. And down the line, the state has faced yet another hit in attempt to give a comprehensive continuity of sport betting in USA. It was the decision of Third Court Judges Marjorie Rendell and Maryanne Trump Barry who made their verdict in favour of US Pro League members and hence giving legalization of sports betting in New Jersey a huge blow.

According to the US Pro League representatives from various leagues such as NFL, MLB and NHL, the verdict undertaken by the Third Court was crucial inthe upholding of the honesty portrayed by various sporting games in the USA.

However, all was not done as the Democratic Senator of New Jersey Ray Lesniak claimed that the representatives of this state will not give up and will continue waging the fight for what they think is their right of eradicating the PASPA verdicts.

Commenting on the issue to US news sources, the senator claimed that there will be three games for the NFL to be staged in Wembley Stadium in London where their fans will bet and watch the games. He claimed that their main agenda would be controlling as well as running betting via fantasy sports.

The president of the American Gaming association Geoff Freeman claimed that he would support Lesniak by claiming that they deserve to take full control of betting as the law is not keen with regulation of illegal betting with current statistics indicating that there are over $140 billion indulged in illegal betting.

From here, New Jersey will head for another appeal at the full court.
