ATLANTA — For years if you wanted to make a bet on a sporting event you would have to know a guy who knew a guy. You’d have to find dark rooms in the back of buildings, make a trip out to Las Vegas or find Internet servers that connect and re-connect to offshore servers to quench the desire.
In May the United State Supreme Court changed that in a ruling that has paved the way for legalized gambling not just in Las Vegas and sportsbooks in New Jersey but nation wide. It’s now left up for the states to come up with and pass legislation to make it accessible.
