Books will need to "saboutage" the market by giving bad odds and pushing people back to offshore to get NY regulators to go back on the huge 50% tax rate the books signed on for.
50% tax is "stupid" and can't work if the state expects books to be competitive at all. But NY would not have that rate if operators like Draftkings and Fanduel did not legitimize it by signing..Comment -

#3Crazy tax rate
If they worsen odds, they'll make even less money. The only action they'll be getting would be from the $10 bettors who don't know better.Comment -

#5I know the books wanted in on NY as a huge market but I thought and still think it was foolish for them to sign on at this rate in the first place.

#7Makes you wonder what the DOJ doesn’t go after offshore and close them down like they did in 2011 with Online Poker sites to get some of that offshore money to go to the legal sports books. It will happen eventually probably. Just of matter when they decide to do it.Comment -

#8system needs to stop billing free plays and promotions. some states do this.
New York is trying to get the high revenue rate that states with lottery monopolies receive.
some states even own, or owned their own casinos, or lease their operations.
So, conceivably the states that have many decades of casino and lottery experience could side-step
corporate books altogether and just keep 100% of revenues, that is a legitimate threat in some cases.
It really is. States could run the whole show, and just contract-out what operations they can't handle.
Draftkings is an exceptionally poorly run company that killed its own stock because of greed. When these co's say they are losing - that doesn't mean they are losing on a per diem basis it means when you add up all their fat living and handouts to corporate executives, then they struggle.. it's mostly crocodile tears.
Since 2018, 30 states and the District and Columbia have legalized and imposed taxes on sports betting. States that have yet to legalize, but which may do so, should pay attention to the impact of tax design in states that already have legal and taxed sports betting—specifically tax base design.Last edited by Snowball; 02-03-23, 10:59 AM.Comment -

#9You can blame the greedy legislators who wrote tax bills and people behind the scenes who run things who rake in excessive profits for providing nothing of value to us consumers or peasants as they would refer to us.Comment -

and the little guy has to go on welfare. This was all predicted by the best minds.
It's why the US overthrows all governments around the world that held control over the objects of necessity like utilities, energy, banks, money... Iran, Iraq, Libya, Venezuela, South Korea before 1980, etc. It's why they overthrew Ukraine in 2014 and are pushing us to fight Russia and China so they can bilk the whole world dry.
Not going to hear this stuff on Fox or CNN. The left and right claw of the same beast.Comment -

#11Why do all Sportbooks need to make money? In order to get the best ones offering services to gamblers you got to let the bad ones fail and go out of business.
So if a car manufacturer makes shitty cars all the time the state has to bail them out so they can keep making shitty cars? How will then innovation happen? If Tesla didn't build electric cars do you think Ford and VW would have ever tried to build EVs on their own?Comment -

#16The DOJ is Federal. They don’t give a shit about the individual states. If the sports gambling market was on a federal level - the FBI would have closed down all of offshore already.

#17The State should work with the operators. That would be the smart move. One way is to allow more competition (books) while also lowering the overall tax rate. So NY will still rake in a ton of money.

#27If the State has any sense they will work with the Operators. There’s a chance NY won’t because it’s run by a far left lunatic, with no common sense at all - Kathy Hochul.
Bookmaker pays just as fast as the NY State books. Simple the best offshore book. Just a good idea to keep payouts less than $9500 if you’re a big player.Comment -
