    Help me out here. Are legit (ie indian casinos) places on the east coast allowed to do these?

    If vig is >-10 on a standard single game bet, and <6:1 on a three team parlay, these places can go suck a big fat cock.

    Good question, and I sure don't know the ins and outs. All I know is I loved playing those things as a teen-ager when we had a neighborhood bookie.

    My dad worked in Brooklyn in the early 70's when I was just a kid. He's bring home a very simplified NFL parlay card - I learned gambling at the same time I learned the NFL.

    No. Only Nevada. At one point Oregon made it part of the lottery, but I don't think it is anymore.

    By the way, I saw this linked on Deadspin, and it's a pretty good quick hit to see how close your particular state might be to getting something done.

    Oh, you know what? You can do 3 team parlays in Delaware.

    As @Batman knows from the Steve Czaban show, Gentleman Gentleman E does the Delaware Express from DC in the fall to do three team parlays in Delaware.

    They also sell liquor at Costco and have a Shake Shack at Christiana Mall. Delaware is where it's at.

    I would think Michigan would move pretty quick since Caesars Windsor has a sports book.

    Don't they sell liquor at most Costcos? The ones I've gone to in NJ, only 1 of 5 doesn't. Pretty sure in Cali they get a huge supply of the limited Firestone.

    They don't in Virginia, just wine and beer. No alcohol at all in Maryland.
