Lets go back in time... Its now 2007...do you think sports betting will be legal in 2017? Everyone would have said yes and the same responses we have here but yet we are no closer and maybe further away then before.

Anthony Curtis says it will be legal in 2-3 years.

Many 'experts' (some being legal experts) say 2-5 yrs.

But it's much different now.

Never has it (sports betting) been discussed & pushed nationwide by all, including politicians, sports leagues owners & commissioners, more states joining the fight in trying to legalize it, and so on...

"this time its different" is the biggest kiss of death phrase in language

Becareful what you wish for - If the Gov Legalize it they may want to control it which means shitty lines & poor payouts. Games will come off the board if betting gets to one sided. Any off shore out will locked out, Vegas books will rule and post -135 -3 BS

Yeah. Shit still needs to be software driven though. Wont be done manually. I agree though Vegas will take advantage of it if it happens.

There's a story in last 1-2 yrs (posted here too) about how Vegas eas/is already pushing for & readying themselves to offer betting to those outside of Nevada.

They know it's coming eventually & are trying to get a jump on the future competition...
