  << <i>New Jersey's governor just tried to get legalized sports betting for the casino's and race tracks. The 4 major sports leagues lobbied against it, and the judge in NJ just
  denied the request of the governor.
  
  So why is it ok in Nevada to bet on sporting events, but not OK in other states ?
  
  Just wondering. >>
  
  
  
  No major league sports teams in Nevada. I do not believe that betting on in state college teams is permitted at least that used to be the case.
  
  Regarding gambling, each state has much leeway to set their own rules.

  Because they're Nevada. They allow liberties that no other states would ever dream of legalizing.

  This might be what you are looking for. It provides the short answer as to why currently only four states are allowed to have legalized sports gambling. New Jersey is making attempts to legalize sports betting in their state and perhaps California and Iowa will do the same if New Jersey is successful.
