States have the power to run books now, but single game betting is still banned (?).

Seriously, everything I've said about Vegas is even more true now. They need to completely reinvent themselves as Sin City or they're going to become the next Detroit.

After the Supreme Court ruling, "I knew that Congress had an obligation to ensure that the integrity of the games we love was never compromised," Schumer said. "That is why I believe the time is now to establish a strong national integrity standard for sports betting that will protect consumers and the games themselves from corruption."

Hatch said that once the Supreme Court struck down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act in May, "I began working with stakeholders to ensure we were doing everything possible to protect the integrity of sports from corruption. The legislation we've introduced today is the culmination of eight months of high-level meetings, discussions, and negotiations, and will serve as a placeholder for the next Congress, should they decide to continue working to address these issues."
GFY, too.
