If places are going to allow sports betting just legalize all gambling ffs. Can’t even play online poker lmao.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that ever since major online sports betting sites and apps have become popular/major money makers, the state of officiating in professional sports has gone down the toilet.

Meh. We have it here now but I don't do it. The chances of you making bank off it are very very low. It's just a waste of your money.

In NY too, it literally changed nothing but a few people losing and winning some cash on stupid bets and making a little tax money for the state. Scratch offs/powerball and people blowing money on crypto are already happening so this has to be a money grab holdout for politicians

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.  

I had a friend in Ohio who used to lose hundreds of dollars on a regular basis. He always lied to his wife about where the money went.

Don't know how he got away with it but he usually did.

NC already runs a gambling state run lottery, allows FanDuel/Draftkings, etc.  It’s just politicians using a new bill to get money for filtered into things they want.

Oh yeah I love the 400 pages of small print every time politicians want to push a seemingly simple vote through. That's the full time job, not serving their communities who voted for them

I'm also in NY. The state is now the largest online sports betting market in the US with almost $8 Billion wagered.

Total NY Betting Handle $7,926,099,678
Total NY Betting Revenue $563,360,864
Total State Tax Revenue $287,314,041

I'll play $20 in slots to kill time and feel underwhelmed but I understand the addiction signs. It's like alcohol and alcoholism, banning it doesn't work because it will still be around so might as well make it regulated and then spend the effort to help those thst can't help themselves...if they want it. Your friend had to get caught eventually or he kept it below noticeable in his finances.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
