[Bloomberg - New Jersey Train Stations Become Draw for New York Gamblers - Christopher Palmeri 1/6/20](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-01-06/new-jersey-s-train-stations-become-gambling-hubs-for-new-yorkers?cmpid=BBD010620%5FCUS&utm%5Fmedium=email&utm%5Fsource=newsletter&utm%5Fterm=200106&utm%5Fcampaign=closeamericas)

*New Jersey has seen a surge in sports bets since the state convinced the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a ban on such wagers in 2018\. More than $4 billion in bets were placed there in 2019\. But rather than going to casinos or racetracks, gamblers are making more than 80% of their bets online, often using smartphones near train stations just outside New York City. They’ve made the state the early leader.*
