The mob here in NYC/Jersey is a shell of its former self, but it will still always be around here in NYC/Jersey in some way, shape, or form for years to come. It is still here but nowhere near as large and as powerful as it once was. In my opinion, they will always be involved in sports gambling here and sports gambling is a major part of the "guy culture" here in NYC/Jersey- you cant walk into any sports bar around here on a Sunday and not have a bunch of guys out sucking back beers and gambling on sports, its a fabric of our "culture" here in NYC/Jersey area. I will go out and state that the mob will always hold the sports gambling racket here in NYC/Jersey forever and I don't see them giving up control of it anytime within our lifetimes!
