re: Mobile Sports Betting coming to LA this week?

No they will use geofencing technology. That's the main reason it's taking so long. If you are in a parish that allows sports betting you will be able to use it, if not then you're outta luck

IF you're not, then you'll have to drive XX miles to the next parish over to wager.

I wonder if the apps are going to let you bet on credit like the bookies do?

I’ve been betting on horse racing for 6 months on an App.

This has been allowed since apps were available to bet on horse racing. It applies to the same law that makes betting on horses legal.

But horse racing is considered a sport.

You get a whole other series of commercials once sports betting is legal here. This first round was just a taste.

They’ll soon wield more media power than big pharma.

This website is Louisiana Sports Betting & Sports Report. It has information about mobile sports betting.

I just want to know who the stick up their arse party killers are that voted no to this

I know Louisiana Family Forum lobbied for it to not get approved. They present themselves as a group for conservative family values, but they are funded by people who have self interest to have them lobby for or against things that they supposedly support.

Not sure how true this is, but I heard that all of these truck stop casinos were against the sports betting getting approved (since they wouldn't be allowed to get a license to allow sports betting).

If I remember correctly, I think most of the parishes that didn't approve it is in central and north La.

Especially the ones with the mannings
