You can do a parlay on 3 favorites?

So easy even you can win

When $13.04 is considered "hitting it big".

You talk a lot of shit about lines and picks for someone who doesn't bet.

You can do a parlay on 3 favorites?

So easy even you can win

State lawmakers passed legislation to legalize online sports betting (and in-person betting at select sports venues across the state) earlier this year. Gov. Roy Cooper signed it into law.

The North Carolina Lottery Commission has oversight of mobile sports betting in the state. Under the law, online sports betting in the state can begin no sooner than Jan. 8, 2024 and no later than June 14, 2024, one year after Cooper signed the bill into law.

Welcome to 2024 surprised the right didn't raise an issue with it

I don't like some of those ideas, but arbitrarily restricting sales by the day of the week is beyond stupid.

Cue my story of a shithead coworker that argued that buying booze at 3am should be legal, but buying on Sunday shouldn't be legal.

Wow your state is finally coming into the 2 1st century

Noticed during my research the other day that one of my scouted sites wanted age verification. They said they wanted to use the laptop camera to verify and that it would be secure.

I instantly switched to another site.

And keep in mind this is one of only 2 sites that verify or disallow access. Most websites don't follow the law, and nobody does shit about it.

There are literally thousands of these sites do you really expect to shut down or have every one follow this dumb law?

Here's a state-by-state breakdown of where the country stands on sports gambling, as of June 2023. And remember, if you live in a state where sports gambling is legal, check out SportsLine for expert predictions.


Alabama: Not legal.

The state has proposed multiple bills, including one in 2021, but all have been shot down. Alabama currently doesn't have any commercial casinos.

Just three weeks after legal Florida online sports betting launched in 2021, a judge ruled that an agreement between the state of Florida and the Seminole Tribe was illegal. It wasn't until June 2023 that a D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously overturned the decision that had blocked regulated Florida sports betting. A petition was filed on August 14 to rehear the case, but preparations are still taking place for Florida sports betting to return in the fall of 2023 in time for the opening of football season.

@LarryFisherman why didn't you tell me sports betting was legal in Colorado

Yeah, because it's all performative bullshit.

Morals are just a point to bring up in an argument when trying to dictate what other people can do.

After telling the contestants that the challenge winner gets to be on a billboard, Gordon says "I also have a special surprise for the winner of today's individual challenge."

Then the special surprise is the aforementioned billboard.

Like wtf, do they think the audience is so stupid that we can't remember anything
