ATLANTIC CITY — The first significant event since sports betting became legal in New Jersey will be Sunday, when France plays Croatia in the World Cup final. Croatia? The governor told us it was going to be Germany.
Atlantic City has two sportsbooks running, one at the Borgata, the other at Ocean Resort. Both ‘books are adequate, but neither is a majestic parlor similar to what sports bettors might find in Vegas. But expansion, both properties have pledged, is coming.
The primary piece of advice for those coming to Atlantic City for Sunday’s match is to get those bets in early.
