I think they are more scared of some other entity profiting off of their products without getting a cut. If they were against gambling they would stop giving injury reports and would squish draft kings.
Yeah, I would agree, but there's something about being at a sportsbook with friends, drinking, placing bets and watching the games with all the other degenerates and all being in the same situation
Yes but you can do this already. Most of my friends have Bovada accounts so we can bet while watching games at bars or every sit around at someones house and have beers and bet.
For sure. I don't have a Bovada account or anything and the only time I really place bets is when I'm in Vegas. Just saying, there is definitely a market for sportsbooks all over, and not just Black Hawk.
I'd probably go the casino route here considering I have two pretty damn close to me. I wonder how quickly other places will get things in place with this?

David Stern -> Adam Silver = David Silver?
I think Colorado Legislature is typically in session January through May, so probably nothing until Q1 or Q2 2019, as far as legislation. And then give it another couple months to a year to roll out.

Must be strange for the religious right to find themselves on the same side of Ginsberg, Sotomayor and Breyer, the 3 dissenting justices.
As with almost all substantive changes to gambling in Colorado sports betting will have to be excluded from the prohibition against gaming in the state constitution. This means that the legislature can put it on the ballot but they cannot simply pass it into law.
Recent elections have shown us that the voters are willing to allow increased gaming and increased stakes at the existing gambling towns but are not interested in expanding it to other areas. The last attempt at expanding beyond the existing towns had a 74% NO vote, that is a huge margin.
Is the religious right against gambling? I grew up in a somewhat religious household, and everybody gambled. And I went to a Catholic university and our chaplains drank and gambled like mo'fos. One would even drive us to casinos on the road.

Certainly wouldn't be Catholics opposing this, from my experience.

IF anyone is interested in sports betting or would like more info on this decision Check out vsin.com at 4pm with Brett musburger it’s free to view. They have had reporters and sports book managers on to talk about the decision. Good info on finances and how this will move forward.
I grew up the son of a southern baptist minister in the bible belt of Louisiana. We played Rook as regular playing cards were associated with gambling and not allowed in our house. The irony of it all is that my dad the Reverend was the biggest cheater at rook out of the whole family. My dad's four brothers were/are southern baptist ministers. I escaped to Colorado as a young man and never looked back...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rook_(card_game)
Rook is a trick-taking game, usually played with a specialized deck of cards. Sometimes referred to as Christian cards or missionary poker, Rook playing cards were introduced by Parker Brothers in 1906 to provide an alternative to standard playing cards for those in the Puritan tradition or Mennonite culture who considered the face cards in a regular deck inappropriate[1] because of their association with gambling and cartomancy.

I think watching the thursday, friday games kicking off March Madness at a sports book in Vegas should be on everyone's bucket list. It's a ton of fun!
Gambling is a little like prohibition. It was a matter of time before it was going to become legal throughout the US. Nothing anyone can do and might as well profit off of it.
A couple buddies and I go up to Blackhawk every year during the first round of the NCAA tournament. This will make that trip even better every year!

You guys just drive a long way to watch basketball?

I post stupid ****
I'm not too butt hurt over it...Christie got sued by the NCAA for pushing the issue.
Sheldon Adelson hates expanding gaming places where he can’t get his crypt keeper hands on the dough. Notice that his puppets quickly acted in an attempt to stem the tide?
Won’t matter. Some states will say yes. Like NV right now, as long as you’re in the state, you can bet on apps designed by the sportsbooks. CO will have a referendum. We’ll see if people are okay with sports betting apps and on site gaming in existing casinos.

I wouldn't plan on Colorado having this for quite a while.

Title 18 of Colorado's constitution explicitly notes that gambling on sports is illegal, and Jacque Montgomery, a spokesperson for Gov. John Hickenlooper's office, confirmed to USA TODAY Sports that the legalization of sports gambling in the state would therefore require "a vote of the People."
Hickenlooper himself told FOX 31, a television station in Denver, on Monday that the state will need to weigh the benefits of legalization against the potential risks, like gambling addiction.

Wonder what folks at the Colorado Lottery are talking about today.
All the ruling says is states can make their own laws if they want to. Colorado has a statue and apparently some language in the constitution to prevent sports gaming. But that doesnt mean it will not get changed....
We usually make it a two day affair. A little gambling, watching games, etc. If a nuggets game falls on that weekend, we will do that and a Blackhawk night. Went to the ncaa tourney games a few years ago for both days and did a Blackhawk night.
Didn't say it won't ..just pointing out not to expect it for several years. Putting it to a vote takes time.
