Indians Going Nuts To Ban CA mobile wagering....

I haven't seen one commercial yet from the books. Local tv bombarded with anti sports wagering propaganda.

And it is propaganda. Nothing but false claims to scare the voting public in November.

The underlying scare tactic is books like Fanduel, Draft Kings coming in, raking in huge profits and
giving very little back, especially money earmarked for the homeless.

False claim: Books give away free money to customers meant for the homeless.

False claim two: Showing under age adults on IPads betting. Intimating no
under-age safeguards.

Naturally, a free play is not money....but you get the idea.

End result, no mobile wagering for a while here.

Take it from someone who gathers petitions for both companies, the Indians are not well liked, the online draft kings is much more popular

I read the books were going to spend more than the tribes, however have not seen one commercial supporting mobile wagering.

I believe you, many don't like the Indians, nonetheless, if you've seen their commercials they come across as the victim here with some sympathetic actors.

They ran the same commercials here in Florida. Surprisingly we had sports betting for a little while but sounds like we won’t have it again until 2023.

fanduel and draftkings qualified for the november ballot, the indians did not because they were too disorganised.

My head is spinning with these initiatives.

In short, sports wagering will pass. It comes down to on site versus mobile.

Here are the fees for non tribes:

"Operators must pay a $100 million fee for the initial license, and must renew every five years for $10 million."

Tribes, $10 million, 1 million renewal.

Will they align with the tribes eventually, like in Michigan and other states? Basically run the books for the tribe and give them a cut.

Visited the Pechanga yesterday. Lunch only. Was surprised to see the crap game Vegas style, no cards. Bone rolling as it should be.

7 books are vying to get in Cali if '27' passes.

That's 700 million dollars to the state. Funny no mention
of that from the Indians.

to be honest with the way FANDUEL is ruining everything they touch in USA sports anything they are kicking huge money into (yes on prop 27) is an AUTO NO if I had a vote.

Don't throw good money after bad

SAD!

TRULY SAD!

A state that is so progressive in so many ways is really dropping the ball here - figuratively and literally

The biggest winners in all this: The illegal books who can continue to prosper and not have to shut down because gambling is legal. Offshore books also benefit since they can continue to have CA clients.

DUMB! Just DUMB!

Media is on the outside. Don't listen to them. The politicians inside the wire room making the deals. I see a late tip in. Remember silvers 180 degree slam dunk in the NY times?


I could see fan duel & DK offer a 50/50 split clerk positions and the guardians grab it. Done!

They're making sure neither passes. The latest ads show a psychologist claiming these bills will create walking addicts.

Who knows if she's a real psych. She looks a lot like Tony Soprano's shrink. 🤷
