New Jersey is considered to have some of the strictest rules related to betting on college sports, and there’s a proposal to take the state’s restrictions even further.
A new bill from state Sen. Kristin Corrado, R-Passaic, would eliminate the opportunity for gamblers in New Jersey to place any “prop” bets on collegiate match-ups.
Her measure prohibits sports wagering licensees in the state from offering or accepting player-specific proposition bets (how many points someone will score in a game, for example).
Corrado’s legislation essentially reflects the wishes of the NCAA, which believes that prop bets are a threat to the integrity of collegiate competition.
