    What would it take for me to own a Legal Sportsbook

    Guys I want to run and open my own sportsbook. Not online but a warehouse style restaurant in a newly legal sportbetting state.

    Can it be done or will i have to find a million dollar backer

    Do you have experience working at a sportsbook in Las Vegas? Walk up joint - no credit - no post up. At least the money is good. Before you talk about the money it takes - can you predict the volume/handle?

    Great idea except the family thing.

    I have a family. I gamble. Would never bring my underaged kids to a sportsbook. Lol

    You don't need a nickle to open a book. You had better hit the ground first day with a good take. I did it and many I know did that back on campus. We didn't have no stinking money... but we took bets and always paid.

    $.25 limits.

    Max win: $1 per 24 hours.

    Gouge them on overpriced hors d'oeuvres.

    That is your recipe for success.

    I don't think they just willy-nilly give those licenses to anybody.

    I would say it's about a million-to-one shot guy

    Huge bankroll needed. I imagine the states legalizing will make sure you have the funds.

    You have a better chance running "betislands2"
