Gambling on NFL and other sports coming soon to a casino near you

Look how long it took and how many hurdles had to be jumped just to get 4 brick and mortar casinos and a handful of racinos here in Ohio. Call me skeptical, but I don't have much faith in the Ohio state government to actually take advantage of this ruling and do anything worthwhile.
Besides, outside of a few cities built around gambling, I don't think the idea of placing sports bets at brick and mortar casinos or bars is going to be as big as it's being propped up to be. Why would I drive out of my way to make a sports bet when I could just download an app like Bovada or betonline and place bets on my phone?

Because those may not be technically legal?

Bovada?
Capitalism my man. What if the casino offered better odds and $9.99 all you can eat crab legs?
The states are looking at this as a whole untapped revenue stream. Some states have a deficit because of the Fed tax cuts. Others like Illinois, dont have a pot to piss in and are trying to find money for pensions. Ohio has powerball and such, so I would say sports betting is money in the bank no pun intended.

One of our candidates for Governor advocated the legalization and taxation of Marijuana to increase revenues.
Seven states have legalized it for recreational us: Washington, Oregon, Calif. Nevada, Colorado, Maine, Massachussetts.
21 other states have some "Medical Marijuana" laws in place, including Ohio.
It appears also that Vermont, Michigan and New Jersey may move this year on legalization. (It could also appear on the ballot in Ohio)
I suspect that in 5 years, over half of the states will have legal sports betting, and half will have legal recreational marijuana use.
Then...the next big area will be: will any states join Nevada in legalizing prostitution?
-
Also....after reading up on it: Prostitution is NOT universally legal in Nevada. It is only legal in certain counties...and only if it takes place withing a legal brothel. It is NOT legal in all counties, even in a brothel....including Clark Co.....where Las Vegas is. Nor is it legal in the county in which Reno or Lake Tahoe are. But it is legal in the county of the state capital: Carson City. But, if in fact, the ho business may not be doing all that well.....in 4 counties where it is eligible to have a legal brothel, none exist. See the map:

I've never been an offshore better, there have been a few scandals there plus this Supreme Court ruling will make the whole USA pretty much wide open for potential gaming before long. Over the years I've been a bookie better but most I know/knew are retired in Florida or 6 feet under.
With the federal government about $20,000,000,000+ in debt state and local funding for virtually everything is getting squeezed bad states will get in or lose out on potential revenues.
"C'mon BROWNS +7 we need new books for our schools!"
.........meanwhile I'll be content for now to play our pick 'em and fantasy games here, well plus maybe the lottery.

One thing for sure the sports gaming world will never be the same, New Jersey is almost ready now to jump in and grab their share of the spoils.
In general the average Joe only has a certain amount of disposable income for gambling so the state lotteries, casinos, race tracks and others will be figuring out how to hang on to or grab any additional monies they can.
Some possible losers Las Vegas after a virtual lifetime monopoly on the sports gaming racket and your local bookies......if they still exist, I'm sure that there are a few left.
Ghoolie will be moving to a ghost town...

sports gaming is low on the Vegas list shows slots table games is what built those casinos and will continue to
Shows ok. But if I want to play slots, it's a 10 minute drive, an hour for table games. I can lose money locally. Why bother going to Vegas, unless you love the atmosphere ? To paraphrase a Wyoming joke, the prettiest sight in Nevada is seeing Las Vegas in your rear view mirror. (On the way to the Grand Canyon, in my case.)

Weed is a huge money maker, but the revenue cannot to put in a bank.
Not my thing, so I am against its legalization. I believe that it will lead to more problems.

Please translate into English that first sentence. It sounds like you are saying they cannot earn tax revenue from it. I suspect that is totally wrong.
As for the second...who gives a flying fadoodle if it is or is not "your thing". Its not my thing either...but I would advocate its legality. Per your reasoning, we should go back to prohibition on alcohol....because consuming alcohol leads to "problems". Smoking nicotine, eating sugar, all lead to problems....like every bit or as bad as weed.

According to this report, after scrolling through it, it looks like the State of Ohio took in over 294 million dollars in revenue from the Ohio casinos:
http://casinocontrol.ohio.gov/Portals/0/Communications/2017 OCCC Annual Report - FINAL.pdf
Edit: Note....this does not seem to include the revenues from the Rocksino at Northfield, the JACK Casino at Thistledown....or any of the other "racinos" around the state.

I bet it wont happen .....who will give me odds ?
I bet it will sooner than later, from Cleveland.com......
......Operators of Ohio's four casinos in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus and Toledo said they would welcome the opportunity to add sports wagering.
The initial response from Gov. John Kasich's office was non-committal.
"Expanding gambling has not been a priority for this administration, and that remains unchanged," the governor's office said in a prepared statement. "We're aware of the ruling and looking to see what impact it will immediately have on Ohio policies."......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now Kacich is almost done in Ohio, might run again for president in 2020 who knows. Pennsylvania is already gung ho on sports betting, Ohio will be there too.

A lot of people think Ohio isn't ready or interested in sports gaming but I think it will be more of a gold rush stampede to get their share.
Traditionally (years back) Ohio hasn't been exactly out front on new progressive ideas......we're not Utah but some areas aren't that different than Utah, historically.

My understanding is that the weed money cannot be put into the US banking system because of federal drug laws.
Who gives a rats a$$ that you want it legal. The state of Ohio wont be asking you. Alcohol leads to so many problems, but combined with weed screws people up.
Nobody after eating sugar or smoking a cigarette ever got behind the wheel of a car and killed somebody. You sitting down and devouring a whole chocolate cream pie does not effect me.

so wtf do you think they do with all the cash ? bury it in the back yard ? shove it in a mattress ? Yes those moneys do end up in the bank(credit unions small banks are happy to take that cash) maybe what you were thinking of is that it is a cash only business credit cards cannot be used

Yesterday the United States Supreme Court struck down a 1992 Federal law that prevented gambling on sports anywhere but Nevada, which was grandfathered in. This legal battle had been going on for years, led by New Jersey who had wanted to allow sports gaming in their casinos for years now, but were prohibited from doing so.
I heard reports that within 5 years, at least 32 states will start allowing gambling on sports. There are all kinds of questions about how this new status will turn out, how it will be regulated (either locally with each state, or federally...which the sports leagues would prefer).
I do not know what will happen in Ohio.....but I suspect that before long, you will be able to go to the Rocksino, the JACK casinos downtown and at Thistledown, and wager on most any sporting even you can.
Another factor that the leagues will now argue about it is that the games are their "intellectual property" and that casinos around the country cannot profit off of their "property" without the leagues getting some cut of the action.
So, there you go boys and girls, you will not have to just go to Vegas/Reno/Tahoe to wager on NFL games, NBA, MLB etc. Or college sports.

This won't have any impact on Las Vegas since most of the actual oddsmakers and first chance at inside leaks happens there. The real impact is going to be on the mafioso bastards who still take these bets.in the old days, there would be some politicians getting whacked. 2018? Should still be interesting.
