Pros Cons

PASPA has failed to accomplish its goals

Provide state residents with protection from fraud and theft

Provide tax revenue and cut state budget deficits

Diminishes massive illegal industry

Opposed by professional sports leagues and NCAA

Harms the integrity of sports

Promotes gambling and takes advantage of citizens

Betting on sports can be a form of

entertainment that gives people a reason to watch.

As athletes, people should not be able to bet on anything they are affiliated with.

The sports world is already a major business, legalizing betting will create even more revenue.
