Sam Shields Jersey , EDGE Dante Fowler and RB C.J. Anderson are three Rams who didn’t make the trip last time. Illinois officially has joined the parade of
states that have embraced legalized sports wagering since the Supreme Court
opened the floodgates last May. California officially has entered the pipeline.
But it won’t be as easy as it has been in other states.In California, a public
vote will be needed to change the state’s Constitution to allow sports
wagering. Via , California legislators have proposed a ballot measure that would
set the stage for legalized gambling on sports, with an election that could
happen as soon as November 2020.Tribal groups with casinos in California could
push back aggressively. In Florida, Native American gaming interests worked with
Disney to finagle an amendment to the Constitution (opposed by the Dolphins) to
require a public vote for any gambling expansion — along with a 60-percent
supermajority.As noted by David Purdum of ESPN.com
Aqib Talib Jersey , the bill needs 66-percent of the legislators to approve the California version of the law before it could make it to a public ballot.
Which will make it harder to get there.Nevada would surely be happy to see the
effort fail. Even though New Jersey became in May the first state to ever handle
more wagers than Nevada in one month, Nevada’s wagering business has spiked
since the topic of legalized sports gambling entered mainstream consciousness.
It will surely stay that way, if folks in nearby California have no local
options when it comes to placing bets.
