The issue was why a couple of states were allowed to make their own decisions on gambling and the other states were not. Note that under this decision, each individual state can still choose to make sports gambling illegal. As for promoting gambling, it is so prevalent that it really can't be promoted much more. You can place bets at most bars, many high schools, most colleges, and a huge number of other places. The only real difference in legalizing it is that it can be regulated and the state will get some money out of it. [/QUOTE]
