Australia is passionate about footy (AFL and NRL), gambling and one may argue, vice, witness the ongoing success of TV smash hit ‘Underbelly’ and ‘Sin City’ expo.

Little wonder then when you throw into the ring a pokies auction, sweet deals for AFL clubs, politics, mates rates, historic bad blood and a touch of vice, you have on hell of a fight that’s likely to the last man standing after 12 rounds. We learn some clubs have hit the jackpot on the decade in off-field plays.

National gross gambling revenues fell to $30.7 billion in 2009, a decrease of 5.5 percent from 2008.

It marked the second consecutive year of declining casino revenues due to the recession and consumers’ cutting back on discretionary and leisure spending, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. 

Atlantic City fared the worst.  It saw revenue drop 13.3 percent.

Nevada, including Las Vegas, was down 10.4 percent.

"This past year was tough for all Americans, and it was tough for our business as well," said Frank J. Fahrenkopf Jr., president and CEO of the gaming association. &

The economy added a net 290,000 jobs but that didn’t stop unemployment from going up to 9.9% from 9.7% last month.

The unemployment rate rose in April, mainly because a flood of 805,000 jobseekers — perhaps feeling better about their prospects — resumed their searches for work.

Many economists have predicted the unemployment rate would rise as people come back into the labor force. The jobless rate hit 10.1 percent in October, a 26-year high. The rate could climb back up to the 10 percent range in the months ahead, said Joel Naroff, president of Naroff Economic Advisors.

The betting exchange market painted a more grim picture. 

At the online betting exchange, intrade.com, most were backing a 10.5% to 10.75% year-end unemployment rate.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a Delaware appeal that argued the state should be allowed to offer a new sports betting lottery to generate revenue to help ease its record budget deficit.

The justices without comment let stand a ruling by a U.S. appeals court that a 1992 federal law prohibits Delaware from offering betting on individual games in all major sports.

The appeals court ruled in August that Delaware was limited to parlay betting, or gambling on multiple games, and only on National Football League contests.
