ATLANTIC CITY — Eagles fans spent the last seven months celebrating the Super Bowl. But the party's over. The new season is here, the coach is grouchy, and the focus now is on doing it all over again.
But the party's just beginning for local sports bettors. The Supreme Court's decision in May to overturn a federal ban has opened up sports betting across the country, including the three states in our region.
Delaware and New Jersey were ahead of the pack and have had sports-betting parlors open for several months. Folks in Atlantic City, especially, hail sports betting as a key step to returning the wobbly resort town to prominence.
