New Jersey Sports Betting Off to Good Start

Though official numbers have yet to be released, both Monmouth Park Racetrack in Oceanport New Jersey and the Borgata Casino (lines were out the door over the first few days, l.) in Atlantic City reported strong crowds and betting in their newly opened sports books. The two facilities are the first in the state to offer live sports betting since New Jersey won its battle to strike down a federal ban on sports betting before the U.S. Supreme Court. Sports betting went live in the state June 14.
