Description
Dan Wallach and Mike join for a new segment covering the latest in the sports gambling world. Make sure to check out the video on our YouTube channel. Georgia has a deadline for tomorrow (4/4/2022) for their legislative session to legalize gambling. There is a lot left on the table to discuss and figure out in time for this deadline. It does not appear possible to achieve in a state where casino and horse racing gambling is not yet legal. Kansas and Missouri are still a month away from their deadlines and are much closer to legalizing sports gambling. The rivalry between the two states is driving each other closer to legalization in an effort not to fall behind their neighboring state. Cannot help but believe a missed opportunity for Kansas with their men's basketball team playing in the championship game on 4/4/2022. New York has a similar deadline by tomorrow for their state budget bill to be passed. Within that bill we could see an acceleration of the 2023 date for three downstate casino licenses. Also, within the NYS budget bill is going to be the determination of the amount of public funding going towards the new Buffalo Bills stadium. Looking at $850 million dollars, this will be the largest publicly funded stadium of all time. With the July 1, 2023, expiration of the Bills current stadium lease, this is the second to last chance to pass a budget that the Bills ownership will agree to before the possibility of relocation. New York also just had the ruling come down on the issue of whether daily fantasy sports is constitutional under NY State's constitution. NY's highest court, the Court of Appeals, ruled that DFS are games of skill and thus constitutional. They also gave the legislature deference to determine the constitutionality and define DFS. This a key case that can be used against future constitutional challenges with other skill-based games. *** Have a topic you want to write about?
