COMPARISON OF THE FEASIBILITY OF THE MAJOR FORMS OF POSSIBLE LEGAL BETTING INCLUDING FISCAL, ORGANIZATIONAL AND CRIMINOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS.
Abstract
NUMBERS, CASINOS, AND TWO TYPES OF SPORTS BETTING (HEADTO-HEAD AND POOL CARD BETTING) ARE DISCUSSED IN THE HUDSON INSTITUTE REPORT. GIVEN THAT THE MAIN PURPOSE FOR LEGALIZING BETTING IN NEW YORK IS TO FIGHT ORGANIZED CRIME, THE HUDSON REPORT RECOMMENDS THAT NUMBERS AND SPORTS POOL BETTING BE LEGALIZED AND ORGANIZED BY THE STATE. HEAD-TO-HEAD SPORTS BETTING AND CASINOS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED. THE RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDE A CONCURRENT ESCALATION IN THE ATTACK ON BOOKMAKERS AND OTHER REPRESENTATIVES OF ORGANIZED CRIME.
