Everyone one of those establishments would need to be taxed and regulated. Which would very possibly lead to illegal activity and other shady shite. Having it regulated at Casinos and horse tracks makes it simple. That's the reason it failed today. Plain and simple

I'm for sports betting but every place with a poker machine shouldn't be able to take bets
That's ludicrous
why not? you can buy hard liquor at fricking walmart in Louisiana and most of them will never put in the infrastructure to do so anyway.
if you think places like Bud Rip's are gonna bring in bookies to take bets you're out of your mind.

You're telling bar owners they can get in a business they have no business being in. They're gonna get cleaned out and run into trouble real quick

Sometimes you just have to laugh because that is all you can do. Unbelievable, this state and its fricktard political franchise.

so why was the Louisiana Family Forum involved in this issue? why do you think all these Baptist assholes from N.LA voted against it?
This baptist a-hole from NLA is all for sports betting. As are the vast majority of Baptist assholes from NLA. There you go generalizing an entire area of people again.

a state with lottery, video poker and casinos rejects sports betting? makes sense.

fair enough. my apologies. i guess not the ones who claim to represent all of Louisiana's baptists, who actually went to the legislature to lobby against it tho. maybe you baptist folks should get people actually represent what you claim to believe in there.

Technically, the sports betting bill ISN'T officially dead yet. it got involuntary deferred meaning it can come back at a later date and try again. But the only way the bill will pass is if the amendment of the 2,800 outlets is stripped off. It did so in the first House committee on the 22nd. It's unlikely to do so this time.

Hey look...Louisiana Lawmakers are total fricking idiots.
Posted on 5/28/19 at 1:47 pm to Zach Lee To Amp Hill
Yea it's their problem because it takes a hell of a lot more to legally allow some 2000 bars to start taking bets than the few casinos.

“We are betting the farm on gambling, which harms our people,” said Will Hall, of the Louisiana Baptist Convention. “We’re hurting our families more by investing more in gambling.” But the legislation was stuffed by the committee with so many amendments that even the casinos withdrew support. “You have now put enough baggage on this plane that it will not get airborne,” testified Wade Duty, the executive director of the Louisiana Casino Association. Lawmakers, many of whom didn’t vote for the bill after their changes were amended to it, gave horseman a cut, required the statistics on which many bets are based to come only from the professional leagues, and opened the door to allow sports betting at the state’s 2,800 video poker establishments, such as truck stops and bars.

About 40 states already have legalized sports betting or are in the process of doing so since the U.S. Supreme Court last year allowed the states to participate in what previously had been a very limited enterprise.

except all 2800 bars and truck stops aren't gonna want to deal with that shite.
what do you honestly think the number of bar owners willing to get involved in that kind of business is going to be?

You still have to prepare for that. No telling the amount of people you would have to hire and prep for that
Let the casinos and racetracks take bets first then ease forward
