Gov. Christie On NJ Sports Betting Case: I'm Thrilled That We Got Certiorari And I'm Very Optimistic

Statement

Well I'm thrilled that we got certiorari at the Supreme Court. Very few cases get granted certiorari by the Supreme Court, so I'm very optimistic and looking forward to having conversations later today with Ted Olson who represents us on the Supreme Court. And I don't know, I'm feeling pretty good he's got a .750 winning percentage in the Supreme Court, so I feel pretty good having Ted Olson represent us. So you know, again, if the Supreme Court goes the other way I don't know what our options are, but we'll have to make that evaluation at the time. But the fact that the Supreme Court granted cert in this case is a very good sign for sports betting having a future in New Jersey. I'm encouraged by it. We're not declaring victory, but at least we're in the game and that's what we want to be."
