How is this one any different?

I really feel like its just a matter of time before it gets legal, especially with the leagues starting to Okay it little by little.

H.R. 457, would exempt New Jersey from the federal law that took effect in 1992,
limiting the number of states that could engage in legal sports wagering.

State officials in 1992 allowed a window of opportunity to close by letting a federal ban take effect without opting in.
Four states are permitted to regulate sports wagering.

this bill would also: give all states the chance to enact legalized sports betting for four years, upon approval by the President.
