TRENTON, N.J. (AP) -- The nation's four major pro sports leagues and the NCAA want to stop New Jersey's plans to allow legal sports betting, just days before it's due to start.
The NFL season is in full swing and the World Series is right around the corner, but New Jerseyans who want to place sports bets still can't do it legally in the Garden State. The state is waging a battle in the courts seeking to legalize sports betting in Atlantic City's casinos and at racetracks. A decision is expected soon.
