ROCHESTER N.Y. – The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, also known as the Bradley Act, was a law created in 1992 to prohibit sports betting in many states.

It was struck down by the Supreme Court on Monday.

William Lyons says he’s from Long Island but lives in Rochester and says, “Everybody’s going to make money out of it, no matter how you look at it.”

The Supreme Court decision would ultimately bring sports betting to New York State casinos, which some customers in Rochester, like Lyons, find to be a good idea.

“Everything should be legal. You got Quick Draw in bars, you got OTB—that’s all legal,” said Lyons.

Casino gambling is one thing, but questions rose whether local bars would be impacted.

“I’m not a gambler but if people want to gamble, and that’s their prerogative and their business that they want to throw their money away, that’s their business too,” said Jeff Ferguson, a bartender in Rochester.

Ferguson says placing bets on games doesn’t seem good for business.

“I think the owner would be against it because it would interfere with business,” he said.

Dozens of states across the U.S. are prepared to offer sports betting in the wake of the court's decision, but if it comes down to local bars, Lyons says, he is on board.

“I wish it would happen tomorrow, because if it rains, I’m not going to come here, I’ll be at the bar gambling,” said Lyons.
