Chuck Baker, a sports industry lawyer for the legal firm O'Melveny, said the decision "turned the world of sports gambling into not only the Wild Wild West, but the Wild Wild North, South and East as well. That's because the decision didn't just allow New Jersey to go forward with sports betting. Instead the court struck down the entire federal framework prohibiting legalized gambling in sports." He said Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New York, West Virginia and Mississippi have already enacted laws to get ready for legalized sports gambling.
