N.Y. State wants to ban live betting on sports.

[Bluehorseshoe]

"Under Assembly Bill A.9343, sportsbooks would still be allowed to offer traditional pregame betting. Once the opening whistle blows, however, betting markets would shut down for that contest. No live point spreads, no next-score props and no real-time microbets.

Supporters of the bill say the change would reduce harm without eliminating sports betting. Critics argue it would significantly reduce consumer choice and deal a major blow to state tax revenue, since live betting accounts for a large share of total handle.

The proposal is expected to be taken up when the next legislative session begins this month."

That's Linda Rosenthal's bill; she's an ultra-liberal in an ultra-liberal state.
She's big on domestic abuse issues, and so forth; she's sincere, but I'm surprised she's sponsoring this sports wagering bill. I'm guessing Schneiderman (NY State Attorney) has her ear.
