CS85 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/supreme-court-allows-sports-betting-across-country-n868956 The U.S. Supreme Court acted Monday to bust Nevada's monopoly on legal sports betting, allowing more states to get in on the action and reap the tax benefits. The court struck down a federal law that required states to ban gambling on the outcome of sporting events. The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act was highly unusual: it did not ban sports gambling nationwide as a matter of federal law, but it said the states were not allowed to permit it.

4_tattoos Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Hasn't Adam Silver already said the NBA was considering placing gambling kiosks in the arenas which the league would get a percentage of all the bets placed? Could be a little off on that. Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a little off on that. Adam Silver has been a key driving force on the pro sports side, but yes, the NBA wants 1% of all NBA bets taken as a "integrity fee". The gaming industry doesn't like such a proposal as they claim that 1% off the top ends up reducing their profit unfairly and thus what they pay the state in taxes as it's not tied to revenue. That's also why few states are giving in to such a fee. Read this regarding the pros/cons of such a fee. https://www.legalsportsreport.com/integrity-fee/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Houston Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Not sure why Andy is coming in so hot on gambling in sports. It's been done since people were feeding Christians to lions, so why the outrage now? I don't gamble - think it's a waste of money - but if some kind of app or embedded TV function would allow me to place a $5 or $10 bet on a game down the road, I may try it out.

dfwabel Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 When Draft Kings has its first ever "DraftKings Sports Betting Championship....of course, it doesn't work out well Quote On the final day, the New England Patriots were beating the San Diego Chargers badly, and would go onto win handily. But the game, which started at 1:05 p.m. Eastern time, took a long time to wrap up, so much so it nearly overlapped with the game between the Philadelphia Eagles and New Orleans Saints, which was slated to start at 4:40 pm. Eastern. (The first game ended just a few minutes for the second.) So what does all that have to do with the SBNC? Well, bettors could only place wagers involving the two NFL games. And no wagers could be placed after the start of the second game. Some players, including bettors at and near the top of the leaderboard, had their entire bankrolls in play on the Patriots game. That meant the money was locked up, in some cases, after the start of the Eagles-Saints game. Bets on the Patriots were in some cases were quickly settled in the DraftKings system, but money was not credited to some players in time to wager on the late game. One of those players was a pro bettor, Rufus Peabody — user name “Opti5624” — who ended up finishing the contest in third place. He wagered his entire available bankroll on the Patriots to cover a 3.5-point spread, which they did. He was not credited with the winnings until later: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
