John Raymond Gambling[1] (born April 8, 1950) is an American radio personality. He is the son of John A. Gambling and the grandson of John B. Gambling, and as such is, the third-generation host of The Gambling family's very-long-running New York morning radio show. Through most of its run the show has been titled Rambling with Gambling, iterations from 2008 to 2016 were instead branded as The John Gambling Show.
Career[edit]
Gambling joined his father as co-host of Rambling with Gambling in 1985, and took over as sole host in 1991 after his father's retirement. When WOR ended Rambling with Gambling in 2000 after 75 years on the air, John R. Gambling moved up the dial to WABC, taking over the post-morning-drive 10 am – noon slot. Gambling was fired by WABC on February 29, 2008 in a cost-cutting move.[2]
On April 30, 2008, WOR announced the return of John R. Gambling to its air waves in his old morning-drive timeslot starting May 5, 2008. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg also moved to WOR, joining Gambling on a one-hour segment, Fridays from 8–9 am.[3] To make room for Gambling, former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's ex-wife Donna Hanover left the station. Politically, Gambling describes himself as a 'moderate conservative'; as such, he differs from the orthodox movement conservatism of most of his former colleagues on WABC.[citation needed]

Michael Bloomberg, the mayor of New York City appeared on Gambling's program each Friday from 8–9 am discussing current issues in the city. After Gambling was terminated, Bloomberg called him 'a class act'.[4] Bloomberg declined to continue to appear on WABC with Curtis Sliwa who took over the time slot, and opted instead to rejoin Gambling on WOR. (As it happens, the financial services company founded by Bloomberg is owner of a different New York station, WBBR, but he has stayed off his own station's airwaves all during his administration in order to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest.)[citation needed]
On December 20, 2013 John R. Gambling did his last morning show on WOR after announcing his retirement from broadcasting (Gambling was effectively forced out as iHeartMedia purchased the station, and was replaced by the duo of Todd Schnitt and Len Berman). Gambling emerged as a host on AM 970 WNYM from 2014 to 2016; he decided to permanently retire from broadcasting, citing chronic knee problems resulting from an accident.[5] With this, because of the fact that he also had no sons named John to continue a show, the 91-year run of Rambling with Gambling came to an end.

The Supreme Court struck down a federal law that prohibits sports gambling Monday in a landmark decision that gives states the go-ahead to legalize betting on sports.
The court ruled 6-3 to strike down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, a 1992 law that barred state-authorized sports gambling with some exceptions. It made Nevada the only state where a person could wager on the results of a single game.
States that want to offer legal sports betting may now do so, and New Jersey plans to be first. Delaware, Mississippi, New York, Pennsylvania and West Virginia are among the states expected to quickly get into the legal bookmaking game.
The court ruled in favor of New Jersey and against the NCAA, NFL, NBA, NHL and Major League Baseball, capping a nearly six-year legal battle and overturning a federal statute that the sports leagues had adamantly stood by for more than 20 years.
'Congress can regulate sports gambling directly, but if it elects not to do so, each State is free to act on its own,' the court wrote its opinion. 'Our job is to interpret the law Congress has enacted and decide whether it is consistent with the Constitution. PASPA is not.'
The leagues first sued former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie in August 2012 and won every step of the way -- until June, when the Supreme Court decided to take the case. Oral arguments were heard Dec. 4, and the justices ruled five months later.
Christie tweeted after the ruling that it was a 'great day for the rights of states and their people to make their own decisions.'
New Jersey's current governor, Phil Murphy, also cheered the ruling, saying he was 'thrilled' to see the high court strike down the 'arbitrary ban.' He said in a statement that he looks forward to working with the legislature to 'enact a law authorizing and regulating sports betting in the very near future.'
The impact will be widespread. For nearly 26 years, Nevada has been the only state allowed to offer a full menu of sports betting options. A record $4.8 billion was wagered at Nevada sportsbooks in 2017.
New Jersey, with its much larger population, is expecting even bigger things. So are other states, with more than a dozen having introduced sports betting bills this year.
As the case played out over the past six years, the NBA and MLB pivoted their position on expanding legal sports betting and began lobbying on the issue in several states, including Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, New York and West Virginia.
'We remain in favor of a federal framework that would provide a uniform approach to sports gambling in states that choose to permit it, but we will remain active in ongoing discussions with state legislatures,' NBA commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement. 'Regardless of the particulars of any future sports betting law, the integrity of our game remains our highest priority.'
MLB said in a statement that the ruling will have 'profound effects' and that it will 'continue to seek the proper protections for our sport, in partnership with other professional sports.'
'Our most important priority is protecting the integrity of our games,' MLB's statement said. 'We will continue to support legislation that creates air-tight coordination and partnerships between the state, the casino operators and the governing bodies in sports toward that goal.'
The NFL, NHL and NCAA, on the other hand, have sat on the sideline awaiting the ruling.
'The NFL's long-standing and unwavering commitment to protecting the integrity of our game remains absolute,' the league said. 'Congress has long-recognized the potential harms posed by sports betting to the integrity of sporting contests and the public confidence in these events. Given that history, we intend to call on Congress again, this time to enact a core regulatory framework for legalized sports betting. We also will work closely with our clubs to ensure that any state efforts that move forward in the meantime protect our fans and the integrity of our game.'
Tony Clark, the head of the Major League Baseball Players Association, called the ruling 'monumental, with far-reaching implications for baseball players and the games we love.' Clark said the topic must be addressed 'urgently and thoughtfully to avoid putting our sport's integrity at risk as states proceed with legislation.'
The U.S. joins other jurisdictions that allow legal sports betting, including Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and France.
To start, it's likely that bets will have to be placed at brick-and-mortar establishments, but states are making plans to offer mobile sports betting in the future.
One research firm estimated before the ruling that if the Supreme Court were to strike down PASPA, 32 states would likely offer sports betting within five years. The American Gaming Association estimates that Americans illegally wager about $150 billion on sports each year.
Geoff Freeman, the president and CEO of the American Gaming Association, said in a statement that the court's decision is 'a victory for the millions of Americans who seek to bet on sports in a safe and regulated manner.'
'Today's ruling makes it possible for states and sovereign tribal nations to give Americans what they want: an open, transparent, and responsible market for sports betting,' Freeman said. 'Through smart, efficient regulation this new market will protect consumers, preserve the integrity of the games we love, empower law enforcement to fight illegal gambling, and generate new revenue for states, sporting bodies, broadcasters and many others.'
