Two new things of note that were mentioned earlier in this thread:
1) If you check vegasinsider.com and look up how sports bettors did under "NFL news," you'll find that sports book managers are now discussing which teams they needed in terms of, "We needed this on the east coast; we needed something else in Las Vegas." It's the first time discussions have been framed like this, and it opens the debate regarding whether regional compartmentalization will occur with different lines in different locales. Regnis and I discussed this earlier in this thread.
2) Pennsylvania, according to the proverbial "word on the street," will be legalizing sports betting sometime in the next 72 hours, and they can be up and running in a couple of weeks. This, despite the unprecedented $10 million tariff and 36% cut going to the state, which are both absolutely ridiculous. The question is whether Pennsylvania sports books will attempt to charge more than the normal 11-10 to overcome these burdens. Another question is how many of the entities bidding (and willing to shell out the $10 million) will Pennsylvania license in the state. We should know shortly.
