From Staff and Wire Reports
The Senate gave lopsided approval Tuesday to a bill, backed by the sports Establishment, that would ban state-sponsored gambling on sports.
The 88-5 vote sent the bill to the House, where similar legislation is pending. The Bush administration has some technical problems with the measure, but is not opposing it.
The ban would not apply to gambling already authorized and conducted in Nevada, Montana, Delaware, Oregon and North Dakota.
