It's my understanding from a report on espn as well as reading this article that they will be offering parlays and teaser bets on 2 or more games as they did back in the 1970's, but can not allow single game wagers.

I hope the erudite legislators of the great State of Delaware are reading our boards. There is a very simple solution to this dilemma.
As I understand the ruling, there are to be no "single bet" wagers, so therefore as previously stated, only parlay bets will be allowed. So let's suppose an NFL bettor wishes to lay the Steelers vs. Jets @ -6.5. The ticket on this would be written as first, an even/odd final score (with no vig) and the scond half of the ticket would read: Steelers -6.5. At this point the bettor would simply take both sides of the even/odd while keeping the back half the same. Thus, the net result is a wager on the Steelers to cover the spread.

The court appears to have stepped well beyond the case in front of them.
It's akin to going to a bail hearing and the judge finding you guilty of the crime. This was just supposed to be a hearing on the restraining order. I'm guessing this is overturned rather quickly.

I concur, Shad.
