Any thoughts on whether Wisconsin will decide to have sports betting?

Any thoughts on whether Wisconsin will decide to have sports betting?

There is a slightly unusual constitutional issue with the State and gambling which always seems to make it difficult to pass. Took a long time to get the lottery here as I recall and the expansion of Indian Casinos was rough as well, as initially they were very limited in what they could offer.

So I kinda doubt Wisconsin goes early on this. But its possible my info is out of date and they are more enthusiastic these days.

Hence the Illinois OTB joke. Who knows, there was dog racing in the Dells for several years.

Probably. The money won't benefit the people it will be advertised to benefit. The League already wants regulation so they can focus their attention on just a few lobbyists.

"New found" money like this comes down to control. Its the NFL versus the States now. But the Feds and the players will want a slice too. I wonder if the CBA envisioned this as a new revenue source or if it will be off the books for cap purposes.

i wonder if the nfl will see any of it

wouldnt it be a bit of a conflict of interest if the people you are betting on get part of the profits?

if the NFL were to get part of the profits, wouldn't it be in their best interest to always make sure the favorite wins?

how does it work now? does vegas give anything to the nfl?

get ready to hear everything referred to in odds

after fat mike pisses away another game late, you won't hear about how we should fire him, you'll hear about how he's now 2-1 to lose his job

we will no longer have nfl insiders breaking news about who is going where, but bookmakers odds on who they think is going where

This court case, as I understand it, only forbids the Federal government from preventing states that want to legalize sports betting. Does anybody seriously think all that many states will do that?

And what if a lot of states did decide to legalize? There are plenty of ways now to gamble on sports if a person is of a mind to. Are there really that many just itching to throw away their money gambling? I used to bet online a little bit - some outfit in Aruba, I think it was. I gave that up, and I even mostly gave up fantasy sports because it was stressful and a whole lot less fun following games just because some team I didn't give two shits about could make me some money by winning or lamer yet, some RB or WR could gain me some fantasy points. That was before the recent thing about money to be made in fantasy sports, but whatever - it's more fun and satisfying to just cheer for the team you like. I seriously doubt that there are many others who think differently.

This is all much ado about nothing or very damn little.

There will be a few stupid states but the rest will line up to cash in over the next few years.
