拉斯维加斯风格的单场体育博彩会来到北美更多地区，甚至可能很快就要来了。安大略醒来了，它击败了美国人 - 而且不仅如此枫叶球迷们可以得到关于他们亲爱的丰富（除了今个星期）。
赌博火车早已离开了政治站。各国政府早已成为最大的庄家，使得赌博的社会政策的一部分。美国基本上是死的，而打破了数十亿美元的潜在税收在互联网上离开该国。但是有人注意到，有一个在美国众议院金融服务委员会应用越来越多的合法化，立法和税收互联网赌博。国家，包括特拉华州，宾夕法尼亚州和新泽西州，取得了单独的噪音大约体育博彩合法化。迟早会发生的事。但是，应该发生在这里第一次。
“我们必须面对现实。这一切都在我们身边在互联网上，保罗戈弗雷''同意，椅子安大略省彩票及博彩委员会，已经陷入困境的实体管理，虽然一个体育博彩游戏之一，即最低要求的三队parlays并支付了在低风险惊人。 “过去是，每一个体育联盟是死的头撞在对麦芒投注（单场）设置。但是，互联网已经改变了一切。''
互联网博彩公司，经营海上或在蒙特利尔北部印第安人保留地，参加了数十亿美元的全球体育的行动。博彩网站，包括扑克网站，基本上不受管制，但非常受欢迎。戈弗雷估计“400至500亿美元从加拿大安大略省每年仅''去互联网体育博彩。这个数字听起来很低，但如果它是不低的它很快将得到怎样的业务正在扩大。
与此同时，OLG的亲线Parlay的游戏正在枯竭，在2009年3月结束的财政年度中，OLG体育彩票发生在只有为2.49亿美元（和支付只有1.56亿美元，或百分之63，到获奖者）。大多数智能投注者早已面目全非的单在互联网上博彩游戏卡Parlay的青睐，其百分之“果汁10。''
“我们正在失去的钱，因为人们不能赌头对头，''葛辉说，他的权利。有什么需要的是简单地在联邦刑法典，允许单场投注的变化。联邦调查局表示，他们希望在船上所有省份和 - 你猜怎么着？ - 所有的省份基本上没有。它没有采取渥太华长，几年前，改变了刑法，允许在加拿大之后，掷骰子竞争的需要过河（s）美国赌场的边境建赌场（尤其是温莎和尼亚加拉大瀑布）骰子游戏。
现在，下一步很简单：把宽大舒适的拉斯维加斯式赌场体育书籍 - 以及在赛道，那里有收益的减少可以帮助节省硬偷猎者通过互联网投注击中一个游戏。然后退后一步，看游客和金钱滚滚而来
你不能得到的，或在疯狂三月与其说是在超级碗周末在拉斯维加斯的酒店房间。这将是同样的位置：游客将涌向投注运动。合法与监管网上赌博和体育图书 - 他们所谓的点击和迫击炮投注 - 政府将评分大时间。戈弗雷估计“半个亿一亿美元的头两年。''
英国这样做，是几年前发生在数十亿，甚至 - 1.5亿美元（英镑）仅第一年。此外，网上博彩公司做广告和赞助商疯狂的事件，其中一个在这里没有地狱支持冻结了节能灯。
这笔钱是已经存在，一个很容易改变的刑法典，它会简单地改变方向流动。我们刚才通过混合武术因为某个集团“通缉''它。这里的猜测很多“想''这种变化。而且现在就要。
Perkins: Internet forcing government’s hand on sports betting
Las Vegas-style single-game sports betting is coming to more of North America, and possibly even soon. Ontario needs to wake up and beat the Americans to it — and not only so Maple Leaf fans can get rich on their beloveds (except for this week).
The gambling train has long since left the political station. Governments long ago became the biggest bookmakers, making gambling part of social policy. The U.S.A. is essentially dead broke while billions of dollars in potential tax revenue depart the country over the Internet. But someone noticed; there’s a growing movement in the U.S. House Financial Services Committee to legalize, legislate and tax Internet gambling. States, including Delaware, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, have made noises individually about legalizing sports betting. Sooner or later, it will happen there. But it should happen here first.
“We’ve got to face reality. It’s all around us on the Internet,’’ agrees Paul Godfrey, chair of the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Commission, the troubled entity that already administers a sports betting game, albeit one that requires minimum three-team parlays and pays off at startlingly low odds. “It used to be that every sports league was dead set against head-to-head (single-game) betting. But the Internet has changed everything.’’
Internet bookmakers, operating offshore or on the Indian reserve north of Montreal, take in billions of dollars in action on sports worldwide. Betting sites, including poker sites, are largely unregulated but hugely popular. Godfrey estimates “400 to 500 million dollars a year from Ontario alone’’ goes to Internet sports bets. That figure sounds low, but if it isn’t low it soon will be given how the business is expanding.
Meanwhile, the OLG’s Pro-Line parlay game is drying up; for the fiscal year ended in March of 2009, OLG sports lotteries took in only $249 million (and paid out only $156 million, or 63 per cent, to winners). Most smart bettors have long since tossed aside parlay cards in favour of single-game betting on the Internet, with its 10 per cent “juice.’’
“We’re losing money because people can’t bet head to head,’’ Godfrey said, and he’s right. What’s required is simply a change in the federal criminal code to allow single-game betting. The feds have indicated they want all provinces on board and — guess what? — all the provinces are basically there. It didn’t take Ottawa long, a few years back, to change the criminal code to allow dice games in Canada after border casinos (especially Windsor and Niagara Falls) needed craps to compete with U.S. casinos built across the river(s).
Now, the next step is easy: Put large, comfortable Vegas-style sports books in casinos — and also in racetracks, where a cut of the proceeds could help save a game hard hit by Internet bet poachers. Then stand back and watch both tourists and money roll in.
You can’t get a hotel room in Vegas on Super Bowl weekend, or during much of March Madness. It would be the same here: Tourists would flock to bet sports. Between legal and regulated Internet gambling and sports books — what they call clicks and mortar betting — governments would score big-time. Godfrey estimates “half a billion to a billion dollars the first two years.’’
Britain did it years ago and indeed takes in billions — 1.5 billion (pounds) the first year alone. Plus, online bookmakers advertise and sponsor events like mad; one of them here supports the CFL without hell freezing over.
The money is already there; one easy change to the criminal code and it would simply change the direction it flows. We just approved mixed martial arts because a certain group “wanted’’ it. Here’s guessing a lot more “want’’ this change. And want it now. |
