New York Governor talks about Legal Mobile Sports betting Today

[SBR Tony]

I'm not sure how long it would take, but it's officially on the table at his State of the State Address

[thomorino]

The state is broke because of cuomo and de blasio, they will legalize fast

[GzaTheGenius]

Will happen quickly I think

Biggest issues are that Cuomo wants it to be state ran so they make the majoritt of the money and not the casinos

Also the fact the state has been hemorrhaging money sonce covid hit

Hopefully a lot faster than in my state. VA has been legal awhile but they still havent started accepting gaming appplications, so I still have to use offshore.

i really hope so

the books are already at casinos in the state but no mobile betting (cuomo's bright idea that it would cause bad habits or some shit).

i imagine it would be easy for the books to just take mobile bets if told they can.

[thomorino]

Cuomo is such a piece of shit, everyone is leaving the state because of taxes, crime, regulation. He and de blasio have run the state into the ground.

Virginia legalized last March? maybe you will get mobile soon

[SBR Tony]

they want it to go thru NYS Lotto...what a joke

ny state lottery will run mobile sports betting??

what do they know about sports gambling?

[Crusherrr]

Just throw up some numbers with a massive vig and call it a day.

[jjgold]

Cuomo in epic trouble over Covid vaccine

Not releasing it to many people and going bad in freezers and had to discard, says nobody over 75 allowed to have it lol and they are the highest risk

He is the biggest dope in America

[thomorino]

Cuomo would have a 4 percent approval rate of the corrupt pigs in the media didn’t cover for him.

[capitalist pig]

ny state lottery will run mobile sports betting??

what do they know about sports gambling?

Same thing in Florida there is a bill that’s coming up on sports betting from a Democrat house member. They want to let the Florida lottery run it with15% tax on winnings. It’s probably dead anyway with the Indians controlling most gambling

[jjgold]

Sports betting USA is a joke

It’s all European run so garbage lines

[pologq]

i thought cuomo would let the owners of the books at the casinos do it. why involve the lotto? cuomo is a schmuck. everything is a big unnecessary deal with him. each day he delays is more $$$ he is losing. saw this online:




“Under Governor Cuomo’s proposal, the New York State Gaming Commission will issue a request for proposals to select and license a sports operator or platform to offer mobile sports wagering in New York. This operator or platform must have a partnership with one of the existing licensed commercial casinos. The Commission will also require any entity operating mobile wagering apps include safeguards against abuses and addiction.”
This means that one operator will get to run the entire show in New York. This is similar to how things work in Oregon and Rhode Island. The release from the Governor’s office also notes that the operator or platform needs to have a partnership with an in-state casino already. Here’s the current list of online sports betting platforms that fit the bill:

• Tioga Downs – FanDuel Sportsbook
• del Lago – DraftKings Sportsbook
• Resorts World Catskills – Bet365
• Mohawk – FOX Bet
• Oneida – Caesars Entertainment/William Hill

Every operator on that list is well-respected in the industry. They are all capable of providing a top-notch online sports betting experience in NY.
However, this approach would still limit options for New Yorkers. Instead of shopping around for the best deals and prices, there would be one choice for mobile sports betting. Take it or leave it.
For New Yorkers who are close enough to New Jersey, why wouldn’t they hop across the border from time to time to look for the best odds, prices, and promos?

[lonegambler23]

he should worry about other issues

[jjgold]

He’s the laughingstock of the United States now

IMHO, they should allow all 5 of the current sportsbooks to take mobile betting.
NY should stop worrying about a bigger cut, maybe they should see how NJ is doing the way it's set up.
I think NJ is doing about $30 million a month in taxes? or somewhere around that.

Wake up Cuomo

[jjgold]

It will just be European books there’s nothing to get excited about

[Optional]

I'm not sure how long it would take, but it's officially on the table at his State of the State Address

I saw part of a public covid update speech he did yesterday or the day before and noticed he ended it by saying "bet on the Bills" and was thinking that was a strange thing for him to say at the time.

[topgame85]

Virginia was signed in March but it was known it wouldn't be live until December '20 or Early '21. It technically became legal July 1st and then the rules and application process had to take place. They came out and announced it will be live for all of us in the Old Dominion in the next week or two. Regulated by the Lotto, but 12 licenses will be awarded to private operators with a 15% tax rate going to the General Fund. That should mean we get decent promo offers and odds.

If NY/FL etc. looks to have it regulated by the lotto, that is different than being operated by it. Not sure what they are suggesting. Look at DC. They have a single app in the city that started off pitching -118 on each side. They have now dropped it to -114 as the handle was far less than the in person handle at the William Hill Box Office Sportsbook in Capital One arena offering standard -110. Serious bettors will drive to NJ or Conn to place bets if Cuomo does some sort of high vig, state run monopoly and $20 bettors don't provide much tax revenue even at -118 lines. NY best route is to copy PA. High tax rate 36% but independent operators.

[jjgold]

Most lines PA all the same


Horrific


Play offshore 10x better numbers

[Roger T. Bannon]

You should expect that it is going to get screwed up to start. That is how it works. State lottery is better than nothing. Eventually they will get it straightened out.

USA wagering worst thing that happened to any kind of gambler

Epic destruction of the family

[Hman]

Wish Florida would talk about it

[MinnesotaFats]

Ya I posted on this last year and it got tabled due to the tribes.

I'm not hopeful that Florida will break w the natives here...

[mjsuax13]

They have no choice. No money.

The majority of U.S. bettors at these new books are clueless Fantasy Sports players.

that is all he has to do. copy NJ's model and get money coming in. if he wants to alter it down the line then that is up to him. at least get it going. he keeps losing money daily by delaying and making this stupid lotto decision.

or guys who think they know gambling cause they bet before when in vegas or watch movies about gambling. very few actually understand pricing and value.
