LSU, it's too close of a radius in MS. That's how much the NFL and other leagues don't want it.
Montana is no where close to any pro team and it is illegal there too because the Federal Government won't allow it. Sure the NFL, NBA, MLB, NCAA et al don't WANT it and they work with politicians, donate to their campaigns to keep it illegal, but they themselves can not stop it. Only the Feds can. New Jersey is trying to get it changed (and rest assured the NFL will not leave that area if they are successful. If NJ succeeds then expect that to be legalized pretty much every where much quicker than weed

This was the train of thought for a long time but Adam Silver (new NBA Commissioner) has spoken out about legalizing gambling and I there is believe that the other leagues are getting behind the idea as well.
The fact is that sports betting has become far less taboo in sports media and in society as a whole and there is far too much money changing hands illegally for them not to start making changes soon. A law expert on the issue was on the ESPN beyond the bets podcast this summer stating he sees it being legalized in about 4 years.
