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

like what does how much money HBCUs, county sports, etc get out of the bill…..have to do with if you are okay sports gambling.   Bills are never about the bills.

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.

      Greg Olsen weighs in on Dan and Dave's strategy to build the Panthers.

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Jones was brought in to compete with AR but Steichen was allowed to be real and say AR isnt ready and may never be. It's not a bad thing to acknowledge the reality a lot of these high QB draft picks don't make it as NFL franchise QBs. It's not a knock on Bryce, Stroud or AR. It's just the NFL.  Ive been insistent we needed more than Dalton. Other than the Raiders game, he was horrible. Plummer. Why bother. It's like we put the minimal amount of effort to a position that's actually pretty damned significant. Hell, look at Nick Foles. Backup QB wins the damn SB. Also, how many times have we seen a backup come in and never relinquish the job. Brady was Bledsoe's backup, and an injury launched a career that led to 7 SB rings.  There were guys available that were better than Dalton. We could and should have done more for the betterment of the team. If we had brought in Howell instead of Dalton, and Bryce played like he has until now, then Howell went in and started lighting it up, we would be able to say with certainty that the problems are Bryce problems because this guy can do it but Bryce can't. Dalton has already shown us he's not really capable of a lot. Maybe he surprises us, but I don't have high hopes of HQ QB play.  I don't care who the QB is. Bryce, AR, Jameis, some off world clone of Cam we found in a time capsule next to JR'S pool. Just be real and honest in all QB evaluations and may the best QB win the job. Do what's best for the Panthers, not just any one player.

      You need a good sense of humor to call that funny. But I was lamenting that the other day. We are winning some games with that approach. Took us two and a half years to get back to where we started from.
