    It’s going to kill sports. Or drag it down anyway.

    The whole reason we call them illegal aliens is because they’re subject to our laws.

      Is there ANYONE in these United States that didn't know this was coming when sportsbook left your local bookie and went national. Anyone?

        And now that men won't be allowed to compete in women's sports you don't even know who to bet on!

          I agree. I think @mik talked earlier about these micro-bets. A person does not need to ruin the whole game, but just a teeny part. Don't make any more than X points in the first period. Only catch so many balls. etc etc. They really need to ban those types of bets.

            Even the “small” gambling called Fantasy Sports completely destabilizes trust.
