New Jersey Legislation Would Outlaw Micro-betting
A New Jersey lawmaker on Friday introduced a bill that would ban sportsbooks from offering micro-betting, or fast-paced wagers involving events within a game.
Assemblyman Dan Hutchison (D-4) submitted the proposal, which would prevent consumers from betting on markets such as whether the next pitch will be a ball or a strike, or whether the next pass will be complete or incomplete. The bill is one of several aimed at reforming New Jersey’s gambling industry.
