Sports Betting - Latilleon - 05-15-2018 04:53 AM
How will the SCOTUS ruling allowing states to make laws legalizing sports gambling affect Tigers athletics?
Even if Tennessee doesn’t legalize sports gambling, Mississippi or Arkansas may. Will this be good for well performing basketball and football programs by increasing interest and viewership?

In all, this should be a good thing for both athletics and the local economies that embrace it. It will cause some issues with the sports leagues/teams who will try to get their cut, though.
I anticipate Tennessee will be one of the last states to adopt.

If those casinos down the road legalize sports gambling, it will be awesome!

I think the state constitution outlaws it and would have to be changed with is a long and arduous process.
Mississippi could be motivated to prop up Tunica though.

Couldn't a SC ruling trump (no pun intended) the state constitution? TN had a cons amendment that marriage was man/ woman (actually, I believe lots of states did) and the SC overturned those.
This sports betting ruling doesn't matter to me. I've been betting locally for years and will continue. No need to go to a casino to bet on a ballgame.

SCOTUS didn't say betting was automatically legal throughout the states now. They said it was illegal for the federal government to outlaw it in the states. It just said that its a state's rights issue (10th Am) so the state should decide whether or not to allow it.

Mississippi as alredy passed a bill legalizing sports gambling. They were on hold until yesterday. They will be up and running by football season.

Mississip already passed laws permitting sports wagering and, from what has been said, could be up and running in as soon as 45 days.

Stock prices for casino operators and equipment makers surged after the ruling was announced.

Guess this is one good reason to live in NJ :) Like some other things, people are already doing it, so why not tax and regulate...? Legal in NJ as of today.

So will any of you bet on Tiger games, knowing you are breaking the Rainman’s first rule of sports wagering?

In, I think, 2002, I bet at the Aladdin on Memphis, with the points, beating DePaul. I think DePaul may have won outright.
Last time I did that.
