That used to be the law in Nevada. It screwed things up when UNLV had a top basketball team in the 90s and people couldn't bet on some games in the NCAA tournament. The law was changed sometime in the last 20 years, so it shouldn't be a problem anymore.
I think it only applied to amateur sports too:
