Sports Betting Approved by New Jersey Voters

Gambling supporters have reason for joy after the referendum

The much expected referendum organized in New Jersey on the legal right to sports betting was held on Nov. 8 and its results sway in favor of the gambling proposal, proving that 66 percent of residents voted in favour and 34 percent against the ballot question.

Thanks to the passage of the proposal, Govenor Chris Christie will set everything in order to legalise the activity, as soon as the Federal Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA), which bans sports wagering in all States but Montana, Delaware, Oregon and Nevada, has been repealed.

According to Govenor Christie, "With this referendum, we have an opportunity that gives the state more solid footing to challenge the federal ban on sports wagering outside of a few select places."

In addition, a statement arrived from State Senator Raymond Lesniak who plans on introducing a new legislation attempt by the end of this week, with which New Jersey's Casino Control Commission would be able to introduce a sports betting licensing programme at establishments in the State County's of Monmouth, Meadowlands, Mays Landing and Freehold.

In the statement, he said: "I expect to get it to Governor Christie for his signature before the end of the year. By the start of next year's NFL season, when the Eagles play the Giants, you'd better reserve your room soon in Atlantic City, because it will be packed, just like Las Vegas is now."

This was quite interesting for me because Savic is a low-ranked Serbian player.

The Serbian tennis player who received a life ban for attempting to fix matches denied the accusations and said Tuesday he will appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

The Tennis Integrity Unit found 659th-ranked David Savic guilty Saturday and fined him $100,000 for three violations of the sport's international anti-corruption program.

The 26-year-old Savic said in a written statement that he was set up by a "current top player" who told the TIU that Savic asked him to fix a match in exchange for money.

"That is an absolute lie," Savic said.

In the statement, Savic said that he was friends with the unidentified top player during their junior days, and that he has not spoken or contacted him in the past 11 years. He said that he could not reveal the name of the player because a judge ordered the TIU ruling be kept confidential.

"I was obviously chosen as a scapegoat," Savic said. "Without any concrete evidence, I became a drastic example for other players."

Savic is the second tennis player to get a lifetime ban. In May, Austrian player Daniel Koellerer was banned for match-fixing.

Savic reached a career-best 363rd in the rankings in 2009 and never played above the challenger circuit.

Match fixing usually occurs among low-profile players or teams and many of them do succeed in weaving through the fish net.
