Actually it is much further away than you believe. Have you not paid attention to the state of NJ and Monmouth's bid? The state passed the laws and Monmouth was a willing sponsor but they have lost in Fed court every time so far. The have 1 appeal left, to the supreme court which may not even decide to hear the case. Other states have attached themselves to case as you are correct in that they are looking to grab revenue where ever they can. However as it currently stands the odds of widespread sports wagering looks fuzzy.
