In 20 days, Delaware, tiny Delaware, made $437,609 in state revenue. This is in June. I am sure there was world cup action on this, and maybe NBA finals, but this is before football season.
LA is going to lose millions to Mississippi.

Yep. Insane stupidity.
We have the lottery, video poker at gas stations, but don't fricking think about betting on sports.

It’s not just the sports book money lost, it will be so many people that normally might stay in La to gamble who will now drive to Ms. add in hotel rooms, meals, etc and the taxes that go along.

Is that where you scoop up an ant pile and place it on another one and bet on which pile wins the fight?

Louisiana would still be poor. The politicians would waste the money.
So really you’re not losing anything.

I’m still pissed about bars not allowed to have poker tourneys. Screw the casinos.

I posted this thread last night. How long are Louisiana politicians going to watch Texas plates pass up the Lake Charles, Shreveport, and New Orleans casinos on their way to Mississippi before Louisiana legalizes it?

I would be interested to see what would happen if Texas ushered in casinos. We see a lot of money funnel to LA and OK

What’s laughable about that? Shreveport/Bossier 6 on the water and 1 on a horse track.

Unless you're taking out of state money, gambling revenue just cannibilizes other discretionary spending. Every dollar gambled by a Louisiana resident is a dollar not spent on something more productive.
I'm not anti gambling. People should be free to do what they wish with their money. I like to play the ponies myself. But we should be realistic about it. It works for Vegas because it's almost entirely out of state money, and a worldwide destination resort. Legalized sports betting won't do much to fix Louisiana's fiscal problem, any more than casinos have. At least horse tracks support an agriculture industry that employ a few thousand people.

Hell, how many LA plates are you going to see leaving the state to head for Mississippi before they legalize it?
I'm not a huge gambler, but I already plan on going to MS a few times during the football season
