This could be a big deal for us in the US. No doubt New Jersey will allow it. I'm sure other states will follow.

I'd be a happy camper if CA legalizes it and The Indian Casinos allowed it

Any chance Pinnacle mobilizes into the USA?
 
Hopefully Betfair MMA'll start picking up some liquidity. I tried to get $3000 on Nunes ML on @ -600 at the best price and it took 72 hours this week.

Not entirely sure how online books would work. Since it would be a state by state thing.

Only thing that would suck is I am sure CA would find a way to get their taxes out of this.

Online books will probably have to offer better odds to compete imo

Yea. More competition would more than likely be a good thing

I'm pretty confident California will screw it up here though

i thought it was new jersey only? but even then it will open the floodgates to a LOT of untapped money into the industry, and specifically mma too. I have to imagine many states will allow online books, which would be amazing for everyone in here. it will mean a lot more lines, lines opening sooner, more options for avoiding limits, less juiced odds due to the competition, and the possibility for exchanges to get a foothold in the us market.

new jersey is gonna start but all states are now allowed to implement it basically. there are like 5 other states that plan on getting it set up immediately too if i remember correctly
 
Temper your expectations. The states will likely follow Nevada's model where they mostly encourage sports betting at a select group of brick & mortar books or through an associated online account for in-state residents using their geo-restrictive mobile app. The major sports leagues like the NBA want in on the action as well and to get a cut of the revenue, which if that goes through by mutual consent of the states, would mean more juiced lines, not less. There may be other restrictions as well. It all remains to be seen how it shakes out.
 
didn't even know sports betting was illegal in america...
never really thought about dimes being an .eu domain...
I've never tried to cash out before, so I really don't know how this shit works, is it technically illegal for a us citizen to bet on dimes?

Not exactly, it's illegal to run a sportsbook in the U.S, or one that takes action from U.S. customers, hence why the overseas online sportsbooks operate servers, domains and banking far from the long arm of U.S. jurisdiction.
 
Time to open a bar/sportsbook in beautiful Orange County. Live betting at tables. Flat screens everywhere. Hot ladies serving the drinks
 
You sharks will be rolling in it in no time once the sports media outlets start handing out gambling advice.

Didn't really think about that. Not that I consider myself a shark, but nor do I think I'm some schlub mark either. Moderately profitable over a LONG period of time (12+ years). Good call Sharkey, I was thinking there would be more "dumb" or "dead" money out there, but didn't really consider some of the stupid stuff talking heads will throw out there just for attention that could influence the new influx of money coming in.

Was just about to post the same thread. I'm in the UK so doesn't make any difference to me but I'm sure there's some happy US degenerates today!!

It absolutely could make a difference. I'm a UK sports bettor and there was always great money to be made betting at American bookies. They had amazing promotion and terms. Since the crackdown this dried up to almost nothing, but if gambling opens up, most likely we'd be able to have accounts there also at some point with free flowing promos again.

Nothing is for sure obviously, but a return to how it was some years back and it will add a significant amount to my income. I'm keeping tabs on it for sure.

Guys like you who know their sport(s), do their homework, and also know probabilities when it comes to looking at lines, should have a field day with this stuff, Mike. The vast majority of writers are hired for their writing ability first and foremost, with their knowledge on the sport(s) being secondary. Ditto for sports talk hosts, who are hired for their personalities and ability to speak in front of a camera first and foremost, with again their knowledge on the sport(s) being secondary. They may have some knowledge on the sport they write/talk about, but I would doubt very much that more than a small percentage of them have the capping and betting knowledge to go along with it. Yet these are the type of people that are going to have a lot of influence on the lines you guys get to play.
