On May 14 of this year, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992, which prohibited sports gambling across this beautiful country, except for the state of Nevada (which was granted the exception to legalize gambling of all kinds in the spring of 1931 in order to combat the great depression and also to be able to fund the Hoover Dam). For a degenerate gambler like myself, May 14 was like Christmas morning.
Now states are allowed to decide for themselves whether they want to legalize gambling, and Arizona is one of the states that is looking to take advantage of the financial boom that sports betting can create, with Arizona governor Doug Ducey even coming out on his personal Twitter account and making a statement saying that he intends to do just that in the near future.
