>> good evening. welcome to xfinity sports sunday. i'm jim kozimor. tonight's game was interesting. to many, it was interesting because ravens were getting 3 1/2, the over-under was 42. in virtually every game played, could find way to make it more interest, by gambling. not just nfl, from pros to college game, millions of dollars change hands because of sports gambling. s saturday night's college game between lq and alabama had an estimated $150 million bet on it. in 2010, the numbers were staggering, $2.7 billion were bet on sporting events with football responsible for almost $1.2 billion of that. why more states aren't in the gambling game. >> reporter: in the bright

lights of las vegas and venues across nevada, sports are being wagered and taking advantage of legal games. others want in. >> if gambling became a law that you could gamble legally on sports teams, there would be a tremendous amount of money generated because there's been a tremendous amount of money generated everyday. >> narrator: which brings us to the garden state where they're looking to pick the low hanging fruit. lawmakers in jersey missed a federal deadline in the early 90s to join states where sports betting is legal in the eyes of the united states government. while nevada is the only state currently exercising these rights, new jersey is suing the federal government in an effort to overturn the act and asking voters state-wide this tuesday if they want to make sports b betting legal. if successful, how long before we see similar measures in california and could it ever fund the construction of new sports vin yous in the united

states. >> i don't think gaming will be be the next one to do it. worpt teams, yes, finance, yes. you and i going to buy lottery tickets or putting something down at our local casino in order to pay for new sports venues. >> a lot of what has prompted new jersey's attempt to legalize sports betting is the new tax revenue where bets could be placed at casinos and horse racing tracks. meanwhile, a day at races has changed in many day, golden gate fields has seen the effects off track betting has had on attendance. >> it's significant. well less than half of the money wagered runs through our paramutual system at golden gate is coming from places not here. >> reporter: taking it one step

further, if california racetracks could one day take bets on professional sports teams will the time ever come we see gameday bets taken on the arenas. it already happens in entrepreneured a somer arenas and but they need to have it around sports. >> i never thought we'd see the day in a supermarket alley and see 32 different typings of water. and teams are sporting names proudly on their league and premier leg nfl is named for a corporate sponsor. >> there's more money bet on other sports probably than horse racing. it would be helpful that way. you have the lobby of the nfl and vegas and atlantic city that

want to control what they have. if it was, it would be many years down the road. >> we thank you for that report. we bring in chuck esposito, our sports insider. in vegas, how much of a role are they playing to try to prevent other states from getting involved in sports gambling? >> i think we're looking to expand it. if we can expand that product and be the leader there, there as a tremendous amount of advantage to us increasing revenue across the country. >> really? you facebookithink if another s involved, it helps vegas? >> i do. it's become so popular and a win-win for everyone answered added source of revenue for a lot of states. if you can accept wagers via the

internet or phone, there's a tremendous advantage to increase handle state-wide. >> if i'm the sports league don't i say, not only do i want it open, i want a piece of the pie. i want to game at my arena, stadium, could that happen? >> it could. in 1990, congress passed the previously and amateur sports protection act that banned sports betting in every state but four. those would need to be changed. it's an uphill battle. i think you will still see it, but the question is when? the next five years or 20 year down the road. that's the big question now. >> in other countries it is easier to gamble legally on sports whether cricket or english premier league or rugby.

we have also seen corruption in those cases. are you concerned there would be more corruption in the states if we legalize it, more wide express. >> i think that opens up the door and if we regulate it and become the watchdogs and do everything to prevent that, i think it becomes a win-win for everyone moving forward. >> let's move forward. what's the future of sports gambling going to look like in america? >> from a technology standpoint, it's limitless. there's applications you can wager from your mobile device within the state of new foundland -- nevada and wager from many difference things. from a technology standpoint, the sky is the limit and will continue to evolve with each passing year that really takes it to the next level, where you can wager from your mobile device within the state of nevada as we speak.

>> a new wild west. chuck chuck, thanks for your time. >> thanks for having me on. the action isn't always on the field. why the nfl might have a hand in holding back legalized gambling. ne.ho howdy folks! jack box here, with my new outlaw burger. other places have bbq burgers, but not with the kick this one has- outlaw means it's loaded with hickory-smoked bacon,

onion rings and topped with my bourbon barbecue sauce. and i'll tell you somethin' else they don't have- -my outlaw spicy chicken sandwich. yehaw! whoa! whoa whoa whoa whoa.. ride that spicy chicken!

fist place 49ers taking on redskins, another nice day for frank gore, gets loose, runs for 129 yards, run for the day. alex smith, airs it out to bruce miller, a touchdown. 49ers hold on 19-11. first winning streak since '97. >> reporter: the 49ers improved 7-1 on the leg of david akers

and didn't allow a touchdown until two minutes left in the game and forced three turnovers. >> they're playing really good footba football. playing unselfish football. keep showing up time and time again? consummate team guys, the way they play. >> frank gore recorded his fifth consecutive game with more than 100 yards rush, a franchise first. for the first time this season, the 49ers offense was held without a rushing touchdown, something they'd like to correct as they move toward the playoff. >> thank you. we continue on xfinity sports sunday and should gambling be legal and one state is moving towards this avenue. the state of new jersey has put the wheels in motion and governor christie explains why. i think it's important for new jersey to have this option. gambling is surrounding us

anywhere. i don't think any of us is under the illusion of that in this state. let's get that economy up from underground and let the people benefit from it. from the gaming association, explaining the state's push to legalize sports gambling. >> this is most common form of gambling in the country, more common than lotteries and casino gambling. only two states currently offer it, tax it and regulate it is absurd. there's an argument to be made about protecting the integrity of the game, but i think we've demonstrated that it's more logical to think games can be protect five-day forecast they're licensed and regulated by the states than if they're simply left to the whims of the grey market and black market, as they currently are right now. i think states will take a much more serious look at this because they're looking at multibillion economies within

their midsts, they do not realize any revenue from. >> we bring in senior insider, ray. we hear about pro leagues trying to keep gambling at arm's lefngh and may be lobbying to keep it from being legal. what are they afraid of? >>. >> >> that maybe they won't get their piece of the action. you can't go into a casino in north dakota to do this. you can get a bet down if you want to in any state of the united states you want. the issue here frankly i think boils down to this. in nfl and major league baseball and national baseball association, can they get a hunk of the action. they're not stopping gambling and working with las vegas to try to monitor suspicious line

moves so they're already in bed with each other there. this is a question whether the government will get the money or whether the leagues do. >> ray, we'll hear from you later with implications of gambling straight ahead. monetizing the best of the best. we had to london to get the scoop on pros andons c of legalized gambling straight from the source.

when was the last time you went to a sporting event? what was it like? would you rather stay home and watch the game on tv? next sunday we look at the gameday experience following the patriots right here on nbc bay area. time for the play of the day. chase for the sprint cup from texas motor speedway. eight points separating carl edwards and tony stewart. stewart in the lead, holds off

edwards, takes the checkered flag. stewart three points behind the leader, carl edwards with two race goes. spin those tires. two afc west teams, raiders off the bye week, 17-14, raiders, carson palmer goes to work, to the end zone, two touchdown passes but three interceptions. eddie royal fields the punt for 85 yards for the touchdown and broncos win, 38-24. legal gambling on sports, it happens around the world, in places like australia, new zeala zealand, even great britain. you can legally place a bet next to the stadium, take your ticket in and enjoy the game. let's continue our in-depth look at the current state of sports and gambling and joined by rupert adams, at our bureau in london, england.

thank you for joining us. what effects have you noticed in great britain since betting laws were relaxed in 2005. >> if anything, things have improved in terms of turnover. more people interested in it. the key for us was the national lottery, something you already have in the states. that suddenly made it socially acceptable to gamble, no longer something done behind closed doors a bit naughty or cheeky and let's have a bet on the tv program or the match. >> in gambling, there are certain evil, including abuse of the privilege and addiction. has open gambling led to an increase in people in gamblers anonymous in great britain? >> absolutely. like all these things, if you go from a seconds of the public being 1% gambling to 10% gambling, you are going to increase the number of people. you have a problem. it's not a disaster, hasn't been a social implosion of people

suddenly betting every penny they own. it's something that does affect a small number of people but the vast majority of people you do have a bet can be sentenceable and bet sums of money they can afford to win and lose. >> and in cricket, is that a concern? and has legalized gambling affected the number of corruption cases? >> if anything, the number of corruption cases have slightly gone up. the reason being we have a sensibly intelligent recording system. with something uncomfortable, for example a match where we expect to take 10,000 pounds and suddenly have 150,000 pounds, that's strange, all our screens go red and get in touch with the gambling commission and talk to the relevant fa or the body of that sport is. very quickly, get our eyes on anything that is dodgy. if anything, i think the report ing structure has gotten so much

better and systems so much better. >> the positive of legalized sports gambling is revenue. how has the government and citizens benefits since new laws were enacted? >> we obviously pay our taxes like everyone else. it's a highly profitable business. particularly three or four big ones and we pay vast sums of money, employee 14,000 people, any number of things we do. in terms of revenue, they've done excellently. in terms of high street, the only shops opening. in 2003, we opened 350. no doubt the society for a whole has gained from the betting industry. >> rupert adams of the william hills sports group, we thank you for joining us. >> william hills was the sponsor of a match i watched over the weekend. senior insider. what about states legalizing

gambling? what's the down side there? >> the only real downside is that you're again going to get into a fight about where the money's going to go. we've already seen leagues try to control their own statistics so they can make money off the fantasy world. basically, there is no real issue about whether sports are against gambling or not. it's really about getting their slice. the fact that the nfl, again, works with las vegas on stuff like this, major league baseball has advertising for casinos, most of the walls have broken down. the only issue here is really who's going to get this windfall? is it going to go straight to the government to handle the massive deficits they have? is it going to go to the leagues? just going to the sports books?

i think at this point that's where the real fight is. you're not going to see it publicly. what you will get this is argument not whether or not it should be legal or not, rampant now, who will cash in. >> after we figure who cashes in on this, the pie keeps growing. the nay-sayers, what about scandal and fixing. if you make it legal, there will be more of this going on. >> i'm not sure there's a direct correlation between those two. sports have become far more lucrative. there will be fixing going on no matter whether gambling is legal or not. gambling will exist. italy, where gambling is legal. they've had, you know, enormous matching fixing scandals and often revolve around not so much whether somebody is betting on somebody but to try to figure out what teams will get into a playoff and what teams will get

relegated. there are lots of reasons to fix matches. legalizing gachlling, i don't think, will is the linchpin on that. there's money to be made somewhere, whether legal or not. >> just enjoy the games, i say. who are these people putting money down. an interesting topic. >> that will do it. >> "30 rock" is next! f i hate getting less. but i love getting more.

i'd trade a lot less for a little more. or a little less for a lot more. either way, when it comes to having more, i want a lot more of more and a little less of less. ♪ and that's exactly what you'll get at embassy suites. more free breakfast, more for my money, more deliciousness, more hearty guffaws...
