Vincent said the Supreme Court's decision in June to hear New Jersey's appeal to legalize sports betting at the state's casinos and racetracks is a "very big" case.

Vincent wrote a letter to the editor in The New York Times, responding to a story about the ongoing effort to sell the Miami Marlins. He noted that the story "doesn't report the possibility that legal betting on all major sports is not far off. The anticipated flood of revenue to baseball team owners may explain the price being asked, $1.2 billion."

"I know that [gambling] is precisely why these prices are going up," Vincent told ESPN "And no one seems to be paying attention."
