Dre & Snoop, Weddings & Open Bar, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and the NFL & Gambling. The list of the greatest pairs wouldn't be complete without the NFL being there. Gambling has never gone greater with another sport than it does with football. Back in May the NFL decided to legalize a form of gambling by allowing individual teams to seek out scratch lottery deals with their state lotteries.
Already the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks have set up deals with the Massachusetts and Washington State Lottery Corporations. The deals will allow the state lotteries to sell NFL-themed scratch games and will most importantly give NFL clubs another revenue streams. Other sports leagues have already been doing this with great success.
The Massachusetts State Lottery has sold $5, $10, and $20 Red Sox scratch-off tickets that generated a total of $632 million in three years. Massachusetts cities and towns got $83 million, the lottery said, and in a typical game about 2.1 percent -- about $13.2 million in this case -- goes to operating expenses, which would include the fee paid to a third party that obtained the rights from the Red Sox. - Source: ESPN - AP
