Will Sports Betting be legal in US by June 2018 ?

The US Supreme Court heard the case in January 2018 to make wagering on sports legal in other States. A law called Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 prevents all but Nevada, Delaware, Montana, and Oregon Currently four States Oregon, Montana, Delaware, Nevada allow sports wagering however 3 of those States may not be offering sports betting currently or it is strictly regulated. Currently the feeling in the sports betting industry is that the laws will be changed and at least 18 States are ready to jump on the bandwagon of sports betting. MGM is hoping and wishing the Supreme Court will allow the States they currently have casinos in to allow sports wagering. Mississippi last year allowed fantasy sports betting. Also the State is prepared to offer legal sports betting if the laws are changed. New Jersey is also another State ready to go according to resources. In 2012 a lawsuit prevented New Jersey from making sports wagering legal. The lawsuit was lead by ...

Raw after the Elimination Chamber by The Outlaw Micheal Tomsik

Raw starts off by a recap of the Elimination Chamber.  I love the Joan Jett song Bad Reputation escorting Rowdy Ronda Rousey. What was Triple H thinking getting in the face of Rousey and what was Stephanie McMahon thinking. No matter Rousey is a MMA fighter WWE should not promote a man attacking a woman. Just the opinion of one OUTLAW! So WWE is choosing going down a pretty boring road in my opinion choosing Bliss and Asuka and Lesnar and Reigns and most likely a tag team match between Rousey/Angle and the Authority. Seems the WWE Universe is ok with boring storylines and drama in the WWE but one OUTLAW wants some head turning jaw dropping head scratching turns and twist but is the WWE even capable of that anymore? RAW  HIGHLIGHTS FROM TONIGHT: Bliss comes out with James and makes front of the entire women division. Auska comes to the ring. Bliss keeps running her mouth and the fans boo. Here comes Jax and Bliss and James come in and Bailey and Banks comes in. Jax and Bli...
