The one silver lining is that this may hasten the introduction of table games.

The NCAA continues to be one of the biggest monetary scams ever. Jesus.

Also, thank god the integrity of these sports has been saved and that sports leagues and state governments are continuing to protect their families.

So could they still do parlays, etc. and just not do single game wagers?

Re: Legal sports wagering might be on the way in Delaware

So based on the articles I read, sports gambling in Del. is limited to the NFL and relies on the Parlay, Teaser, and Super-Teaser cards. 3 team minimum and no totals offered.
