WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Hey, I'm all for it. I remember years ago wanting to make a wager on a game I was sure the Bills were going to win (2011 opener vs the Chiefs), and was going to ask someone visiting Atlantic City to make a wager for me. I would learn that "It's illegal there so it won't hurt the bookies' bottom line" That's really the only benefit to it now. Sport Gambling was allowed in Vegas and Delaware, so if there was collusion in the digital age it was going to happen anyway. Now, with online sports books that seem impossible to shut down and a thriving Fantasy Football model that is pretty much gambling anyway, what was there left to regulate? 32 minutes ago, jmc12290 said: Can this Trump administration do wrong? MAGA indeed! It seems fitting, considering his casinos? Hey, why does Trump put his name on all his casinos? So that banks know which ones to repossess! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perry Turtle Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Since the pro sports leagues were on the wrong side of this case, it will be interesting to see how they try to weasel their way back into the deal when States define their sports betting policies. They'll probably try to work in a bogus "rights" fee into the deal. Anyway, those Bengals/Browns games just go a Hell of a lot more interesting.

The states will bed the leagues quickly because revenue will be yuge for both, bigly even.

In areas where gambling revenue increases for local and state gov't, foreclosures and bankruptcies increase. They are directly tied to addictive gambling situations. Most people who follow gambling know this and there are many studies that confirm this fact. The key is being able to budget your gambling entertainment spending. For many addictive type human personalities that is very hard to do. Edited May 14, 2018 by cba fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurpleBull Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Won't this just open the door for more speculation that the refs are in cahoots with the Patriots whenever they play the Bills and get the favor of head-scratching calls? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the real estate crash of 2008 attributable to gambling or just Americans over-extending themselves? (i.e. buying a house that was beyond their means).

It will create another case of hypocrisy for the league and the government Nevada shuts the pro leagues out. The other states need to do the same. And the revenues won't be huge if the lines are negatively impacted by the vigs that bookies have to pay the state and the league's. Bettors who enjoy the liberalized betting laws will shop for the best lines and will take their business off-shore. The pro leagues need to check their greed and play the long game.
