All About Sports Betting
All About Sports and Betting on Sports Aggregating news to one site has become the driving force behind news in the new era of information, be it politics, business or entertainment. Sports betting is a rapidly growing industry in the United States, particularly after a 2018 ruling by the Supreme Court that opened the door to legalized operations on a state-by-state basis.

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizonans would be allowed to bet on professional and college sports at tribal casinos and at sites owned by pro sports teams under a proposal that is part of an update to the state’s deal that allows Native American tribes to run casinos.
The wide-ranging proposal introduced in the Arizona House on Monday would also allow bets to be placed online, fantasy sports wagering, and add limited Keno games at off-track betting locations and social clubs like the American Legion.
The proposal introduced by Republican Rep. Jeff Weninger of Chandler has been anticipated since GOP Gov. Doug Ducey announced “an opportunity for a modernized gaming compact that will bring in more revenue for our tribal nations and our state budget,” in his State of the State address last month. Ducey has been working on a new deal with tribes for several years, hoping it can boost state revenue by allowing gambling outside of tribal-run casinos.
That’s just what the deal does, Weninger said Tuesday, although the anticipated revenue hasn’t been released.
“With that comes tax revenue without raising taxes, and allows us to keep our tax rates low,” Weninger said in an interview.
The biggest part of the plan would allow pro sports teams like the Phoenix Coyotes, Arizona Diamondbacks and Arizona Cardinals run sports betting operations at their respective venues, at a retail location within a quarter mile and online. There would be 10 licenses awarded to sports, which could include professional golf and even NASCAR, Weninger said.
Tribes would also get 10 licenses and could run sports books at two dozen tribal casinos in the state.
The tribes, which have fiercely protected their exclusive right to most gambling in the state under the gaming compact approved by the state’s voters in 2002, get the right to build some new casinos under an updated deal. And in a big win, they would also be allowed to greatly expand their exclusive gambling offerings, adding games like Baccarat and craps to existing offerings of slot machines, blackjack and poker.
And there are options for online gambling as well, allowing growing online gambling sites like Draft Kings to piggyback on the licenses.
Fantasy sports gambling also is embraced by Weninger’s proposal. The state would allow any company that meets it standards to run fantasy sports gambling operations.
Both the legislation and a 20-year extension of the state’s gaming compact with tribes must be adopted for either to go into effect.
Getchen Conger, Ducey’s deputy chief of staff, said the deal will help tribes and pro sport teams that have struggled during the coronavirus pandemic. And the plan is certain to boost state revenue, but it will take some time for the amount to become clear, especially revenue from gambling on sporting events.
“This is the million-dollar question,” Conger said. “It really depends on what the uptake is on the event wagering.”
The state gets a cut of the gambling profit, which will go to the general fund. Money from tribal gaming goes to special state accounts and local governments. In the fiscal year that ended on June 30, 2020, tribes brought in nearly $2 billion in gambling revenue and the state received $102 million, according to a Department of Gaming report, while cities received $13 million.
George’s Bets is a project in which I want to challenge myself to make money with betting. In a previous article I have already introduced George’s Bets. You are invited to take a look if you want to know more about this project. On this page I share all my future bets with you. The below table(s) will be updated with every new bet that I expect to be profitable. If you like betting just as much as I do, you are free to follow my bets. Remember though: bet responsible!
• SELECTION Describes on which selection of the 1X2 odds I have placed a bet (home, draw, away).
• MIN. ODDS Indicates the lower bound, which means that you should only bet on a match if the odds offered by the bookmaker are larger than or equal to the value of LB. For example: if LB=3.15 for a certain match, you should only bet on this match if the bookmakers offer odds larger than or equal to 3.15.
• ODDS, STAKE, BOOKMAKER Detailed information about my actual bet. Contains the exact odds and stake size, and the name of the bookmaker at which I have placed my bet.

However, I do have simulated the historical performance the predictive model behind George’s Bets. Over the last 10 seasons this model would have had an return on investment (ROI) of more than 8.5% by betting on the English Premier League.
