    NFL is the only one with any real power, and so long as they get a cut of the action (directly or indirectly), they'll get in line too.

    I doubt the states running online sportsbettting will offer the props and many wagering options that a site like 5Dimes offers.

    So I couldn't care less about the states getting into the business. I hope it all fails for them. It would ruin online sports gambling.

    I can't see them offering lines on fights being shown on Telefutura, ESPN, Telemundo, SkySports, etc... I just don't see it.

    I think they'll be competitive with the industry as we know it. As State Senator Wright indicates, they would contract out the management of the book's operations. They only want a cut of the action, and aren't going to be meddling in the book's offerings.
