Just a local tidbit of news that my audience may find interesting....

To sum it up, Delaware is attempting to become the fourth state in the US to allow sports betting. Gov. Jack Markell's proposal was voted on and approved 17-2 for the new bill which will most likely be signed into law in the next few days.
Not much stands in the way of the bill's success, but the NFL and NCAA are opposed, citing that football, among other sports, is a game of skill and not chance. Hearings are scheduled for today (May 21) for the sports organizations to appeal to the Deleware Supreme Court with their arguments.
Such a bill is expected to greatly aid the state's $800 million budget deficit and produce $50 million of revenue in the first year.
If you're reading my blogs and are a fan of my program, this is big news. If we have a legitimate sports gaming environment as close as Delaware, many more people may be interested in my picks for the NFL season and we can shoot down and win some money. We'll see how these hearings go today, and I'll give you all updates when I can. Stay tuned, Sports Fans.
