Sports Business and Wagering this Week

This is a new feature that will post every Friday. Starting today, we will give you the latest news about Sports Business and Wagering that occurred in that calendar week. This will keep you current with the industry. These post will include trends about the sports betting market and information about what state is planning to offer it next. This will be a winning situation for a sophisticated operator and his constituents.

 
This week DC approved Sports Betting. While this market will be lucrative the restrictions on the use of mobile devices is a detrimental to everyone. This aspect of the legislation should be revisited.

Watch for any news about Sports Betting out of New York. With the amount of professional teams and population that have loyalty to them, this market will become the largest on the east coast. Poker play would get a huge shot in the arm as well.

Sports Betting 101: The Las Vegas Experience

After decades of having a monopoly on legal Sports Betting in the United States, Nevada is now sharing it's spotlight with the rest of the nation. There are several states that are currently offering sports betting with legislation in place for at least 20 more within the next 2 years. So if you are about to make your 1st bet or if you have made a wager on a sporting event outside of Nevada within the past 5 months,we want to give you a glimpse of what the Las Vegas experience.

Sports books in Las Vegas have a synergy that flows thru the hotel. The sports book is as much a staple of a property as the restaurants and the slots machines. But a great sports book experience will compare to being at Xfinity Live on Eagles game day. People will drive 50 to 100 miles to be a part of it. It will be excitement. The crowd will engage with each other and strike up conversation during breaks in the action. Those conversations will range from "who do you like today to where are you from."

The bets on the boards will cover all the major sporting events for that day or week. The busiest days are the weekends. The best offering for wagers is on Monday. Monday has MNF or Monday Night Football. It is the get back night. You are trying to get back the money you lost earlier that day or weekend.Many props bets that would not be available during the week will be offered. Be selective!

The sports books in Vegas range from the stadium style seating you find at casinos that feature blackjack,roulette and baccarat to plush lounge chairs and couches that provide special amenities. We will expand on which of these are trending as we continue this series. 

If any organization wants to innovate your Sports Betting operation from your competitors then watch what we post in 2019.

Sports Betting 101: Why the bettor should wager with a license operator

Now that you can wager legally on sports in several states, the public has the option to bet with a casino,racetrack or daily fantasy site. The daily fantasy sites that have a good product are FanDuel and DraftKings.

No longer do you have to bet with the illegal offshore sites that may not pay you or could shut down leaving you in a difficult situation.

You can now select between the local neighborhood bookie and the regional sports betting platform.That transition will appear difficult to some of you that have a established long term relationship with a bookmaker. I know! He lets you bet on credit. You can pay when you get your check. But Ted Leonsis, owner of the Washington Capitals and head of  Monumental Sports and Entertainment , uses a great analogy. What if he gets sick and passes away. He can't pay you.

So going legal is the way to go. You are assured of getting paid. You can place your bet in a safe environment. You can bet on things that the local bookie will not take action on. Don't take chances. Just pick winners.

Sports Betting 101: Things the bettor needs to know

Sports Betting in Vegas

When Sports betting comes to Pennsylvania, there are several things that bettors should be aware of.Sports betting is new to this area so many of the operators will have a staff of ticket writers that is relatively inexperience. This holds true for the person making the wager. The bettors should be prepared to bet early and check their ticket prior to leaving the window, 

The bettors should familiarize themselves with the wager they plan to make. The wager should start with the bettor saying what type of bet they want, the team or number that they want to bet on and the amount. 

In the coming days, we will share the terminology that will make your sports betting experience fluid. Our expertise is not just relative to the bettors. Follow us if you are looking for innovation in your sports wagering and management operation.
