Re: Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act ruled Unconstitutional
Originally posted by joecct View PostI think they want the $$ for providing the supporting data for the side bets. Final score is probably public domain. The stats are probably owned by the leagues.That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

Outside of St. Clown’s mentions of tv contracts and how they’re sold to specific books, etc. the leagues have no leverage.Last edited by MavHockey14; 05-16-2018, 10:38 AM.AF 99

There obviously will be regulations that must be met regarding all this, but the books and casinos take care of that. Ultimately, the leagues want to use their size and power to try and get some coin and it won’t hapoen.a legend and an out of work bum look a lot alike, daddy.

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.That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.
