With the Supreme Court lifting a national ban on sports gambling states are opening sports books as quick as possible. In the state of Delaware, the first official bet was placed prior to first pitch of the Phillies/Cubs game by none other than the Governor of Delaware, John Carney.
As most fans in the Delaware Valley would hope to see, the Governor put down the first official bet in the history of Delaware on the Phillies money line to beat the Cubs on the road. The first-term governor bet $10 with a large smile on his face as he shook the hands of the people behind the counter.
