The cheap shot
Posted on 26. Apr, 2010 by admin in Sports
In a time where gambling was being made illegal all across the United States, the state of Nevada was struggling to keep its State law in accordance to Senate billing while trying to keep it’s number one source of income – gambling – up and running smoothly. Gamblers and sports experts trying to make a little extra money from the knowledge they had flocked to Las Vegas sport bookers like pilgrims to the Holy Land. This last crusade of sportsbooks betting brought with it an enormous source of income to Nevada and while the other States were pointing fingers, it was counting its income and investing it back.
That made it even more ironic when the massive flow of online betting hit the market, and public opinion. The frontrunners of the movement opposing bets online where people who before had turned profit from being innovative in the face of generalized opinion: the casinos and sports bookers of Nevada. They saw how generalized household gambling could take a big chunk out of their paycheck and started to fight back, but it was as unfruitful as when neighboring states tried to shut down their own gambling business.
Fortunately, many of these betting agents decided to go with the flow so they could, perhaps, make even more money. Sports bookers in Las Vegas associated their name and decades of prestige to online betting, and kept their share of the market. Nowadays, you can bet on basketball, football, hockey, baseball or whatever sport you like just like if you were in Vegas.
