NC declines to legalize sports betting

[Mr. Scot]

Multiple reports have said this is something that David Tepper was counting on, so it's a bit of a defeat for him.

Lobbyists must not be writing a big enough check to Phil Berger and his friends

Yeah I personally don't give a poo but it's basically free tax money for the state. Was it because of "values" or something? Those don't really exist in this day and age especially for something money related. Maybe not a big enough bribe to the local lawmakers

NC doesn't want Teppid. He can go back to Pennsylvania

Yep. They need to at least match what Duke gives them.

Me either. I never bet but just allowing the money to go elsewhere is stupid. It is already established and roadmaps for how to do it are in place. This is true for many items that this state remains in the stone-age on. I get not leading the pack but at a certain point it is just stupid and self harming when it has already become normalized and people here are doing it anyways.

Bingo! The state must get their cut also. Must not have offered a big enough cut.

Gambling lobbyists and gambling industry need to step their game up with the cash flow. The people who can change this can 100% be bought.
