  • There are two legal ways of betting on sports in the united states: 1. You can bet legally at licensed Nevada Sports Books,and this can be done anywhere in the state of Nevada. and 2. You can bet on sports in the US is the Oregon Lottery. This was described as follows in a rec.gambling post: The Oregon lottery is alive and well as far as football betting. The game is called sports action. The line is set by Jim Feist. It is set and printed on Wednesday and does not change. This can work to the bettor's advantage due to changes in team lineups due to injuries and such. The minimum wager is $2.00 and the minimum number of games bet is 3. The payoffs for a three game win is $5.00 per dollar wagered. Four games gets $10.00 per dollar wagered. All other wagers are paid on a paramutual fashion. For example, a seven game winner usually pays around $160 to $350. The maximum number of games that can be bet have a winner. A week or two ago $14,000 carried over in the 14 pool. There are also some games that are called special play games with over/under total score. The line seems to be fairly consistent with the Vegas line on the Wednesday that it is set. Hope This Helps, Tiff
  • Nevada is the only state that it is legal to bet on sports.
  • http://casinogambling.about.com/od/racesports/a/sportsban.htm Sports betting is also legal in Oregon, Montana and Deleware. "The reason is that in 1992 Congress passed the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act that banned sports betting in all states except those that already allowed it in some form. What you may not know is that three other States were exempt from the ban because they had some form of legaized sports betting at the time the bill was passed"
