Delaware is looking to become the second state after Nevada to legalize sports wagering. They are one of four states including Oregon and Montana that can still approve betting on sports teams, since the Federal Government passed a law in 1992 that banned states from establishing sports gambling. Delaware's House voted 30-4 in favor of the bill that now awaits a vote in the State Senate, where it is very likely to pass. Governor Jack Markell, a strong proponent of the measure estimated that sports wagering would bring an additional 55 million dollars in tax revenue from the state's three casinos.
So what does this mean for Eagles' fans? Well next time you feel the Birds are a "can't miss bet", you can legally drive next door and place a bet. All the particulars of what you can and cannot bet on will still need to be worked out, but in the meantime here are some future odds that you may want to consider:
Eagles total number of regular season wins: 9.5
Eagles win the NFC Championship: 6/1
Eagles win the Super Bowl: 12/1
