The companies are losing money on it so far. Their goal is to get table games and slots on your phones so everyone can gamble 24-7. That’ll be their moneymaker if it happens.

Every state has different rules. For example in NY you can't bet on individual awards like NFL MVP etc. Don't think you can bet on the draft in NY either.

Real McClappy Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 It's basically the same as insider trading. Way too many people and leaks within each team from Scouting and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweats Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 If you can bet on the color of the Gatorade being dumped on the HC in the SB, you can bet on anything.......nothing surprises me anymore. In fact, if they ever bring out a contest to see how many times a guy can take a ballpein hammer swing to the nuts, i'll bet they'll have betting on that too........i'm also betting that number is one.

elroy16 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I know I'm going to show my age, but I hate how much gambling is shoved into people's faces. I'm okay with gambling, but how much it is glamorized is unfortunate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if a sports book wanted to they could do it but I just think they don’t like the risk? 5 minutes ago, elroy16 said: I know I'm going to show my age, but I hate how much gambling is shoved into people's faces. I'm okay with gambling, but how much it is glamorized is unfortunate. I am all for gambling on sports being legal. I don’t do it, personally I think it’s usually a way to lose money. However, it’s a vice and if some people can do it responsibly that is fine. It is not like prohibition worked anyway. However much like Cigarettes the government needs to step in and highly restrict the advertising of sports gambling. I think 10 years from now when they eventually do restrict the advertising we are going to look back on the ubiquitous nature of gambling ads as a really stupid and antiquated thing like we do with tobacco products. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I occasionally bet on Draftkings. You cannot play table games/slots etc. in NY State. But as soon as I cross into PA those games become available. I take my car for service to a dealership in PA and have played a few hands of blackjack while I was waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
