As mentioned, the NHL and MGM have a partnership.
The NBA Summer League, held in Vegas, has MGM as their premier sponsor.AF 99

Re: Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act ruled Unconstitutional
Originally posted by SJHovey View PostJust an attempt by the leagues to capitalize on sports betting, financially.
What leagues have tried to do, as I understand it, is to convince state legislatures to add an "integrity fee" tax to sports betting that would be turned over to the league. I don't think they've had much luck in this regard. The states aren't known for their willingness to share tax money.
What you will probably see is a big push by the leagues to get Congress to adopt some sort of federal law governing sports betting, and include a fee with that.
The problem with the leagues is that they always overplay their hand. They go in and ask for a percentage of the total amount bet, which no sane party would agree to since the sports books lose 40-50% of the bets placed.The problem with the leagues is that they always overplay their hand.

Re: Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act ruled Unconstitutional
I'll prob stick to online stuff if this happens in MN. Of course, I'll wait a bit, because I have a feeling there will be some shady businesses at first, trying to get in on the money. Yes, I know they will all have to be licensed and such, but there will still be some shenanigans at first.Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.
