Many states, including Colorado, South Carolina, and Maine, provide exceptions to their usual gambling laws for social gambling.
Social gambling exceptions usually require that participants have a bona fide social relationship outside of the gambling activities, and that all the proceeds of the gambling activities are distributed among the participants (so the organizer can’t take a cut). Some states also limit the amount that a gambler can win or lose.

Thank you for the corrections. Gotta love those state's rights. "social" gambling----snicker----is ingrained in our very fabric as a Nation. Why else would a "fan" stay with a 27-14 game, late in the game, unless he has say 10.5 points on the losing team?
And your problem with this is.....?
It is not the NFL that is popular, it is gambling. At your football parties, do folks watch the game intently? Mayybe the replays.
You're wrong about that. The NFL is much more popular than the gambling on it, and would remain immensely popular whether gambling on it exists or not. Yes, the football parties that I go to EVERYONE is focused on the game, and not a single person in the party has a dime on it.
And, IMO, very few can say that. Legalized betting leads to fixing games. Illegal betting leads to the mob, which is why it won't be legal except in Nevada.
