During ESPN’s “Outside the Lines,” former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie discussed the U.S. Supreme Court overturning the ban on sports betting, saying legalized sports gambling means a “significant amount of revenue” for states.
“It’ll be hundreds of millions of dollars a year,” Christie said Monday of what it would it mean for New Jersey. “It’s going to be a great thing for the individual states that get involved.
Christie added that the legalization also adds a “safer, more pleasant legal environment” for placing bets on sports.
In a tweet, the former governor called Monday “a great day for the rights of states and their people to make their own decisions.”
