    Vegas stands to lose $850 Million without NFL

    Interesting article today out of Las Vegas if the NFL has a work stoppage:

    This is the worse time to have a lockout cuz of the already high unemployment. They need to federally legalize sports betting for all states.

    Other sports will pick up the slack, won't they? They really think that gamblers will sit the season out if there's a lockout?

    Thanks for posting. I was wondering how much the gambling industry would lose if there was no NFL.

    I think most recreational bettors bet a little College football but most of their wagers are on the NFL. I don't see them playing much NBA or College basketball because there is no NFL.

    100% sure we are going to have a lockout. No one is budging from their demands. And Vegas is not going to lose any money. They will schedule college games on Sundays to fill the void.

    No way is there a lockout. Neither side will move now but it's still all posturing. They will find a way to make it work. Not worried in the least. Too much to lose on both sides!!!

    How much would Directv lose with no Sunday Ticket?

    There will not be a lockout, to much money involved. To many things would crumble.

    Yeah, even if Vegas loses a ton o coin, them pretty lights are still going to be shining. It's stupid to consider a lockout or even now a possible strike. I never thought it would come to this, but I have to say the NFLPA and the 'top tier' earning franchise owners really are screwing the pooch big on this.

    I can see them going back and forth through early summer, but they will work it out by mid-August at the latest. Too much money and too much pressure not to.

    "A season-long NFL work stoppage could cost Las Vegas sports books an estimated $850 million, according to a calculation by John Avello, sports book and race director with Wynn Las Vegas." wow...

    There will be a season next year but it's gonna start late and be shortened.

    NFL is #1....they're not gonna follow what happened to MLB in 94 and lose a season completely and risk losing King of the Hill status.

    More likely the NBA locks out than the NFL.

    I have a hard time believing the Goodell will let a lockout happen, otherwise is reign as commish is all but over.

    but, of course, if this isn't solved the week before the draft (allowing owners to swap players during the draft), it may well drag out into the summer and be finalized last minute in late July.
