What will it take to get Sports Betting or Daily Fantasy In Iowa

[NorthCyd]

ISU is going to need to work with cell phone providers to increase coverage during game day or I could see them losing some game day fans. Any chance they can partner with a local casino and offer betting inside the stadium like they have in Europe?

So you cant buy a beer in stadium but they would have gambling kiosks. Yeah, dont think that's gonna happen. No in game betting is allowed on ISU anyways. They arent going to worry about if you can gamble on other games during the ISU game. Overall, I think you are highly overestimating the impact.

If you pass up a game because you don't have good enough cell phone coverage to place bets then you have a REALLY REALLY BIG GAMBLING PROBLEM and should be the face of the 1-800-bets off bilboards.

There are only a certain amount of games that are good bets in a day. If you have your money tied up in a game going on and have to wait to get paid out on those before you can place your bet on the next great spread and you are at the clone game and cant get service that does present a big issue

They could have a betting lounge and charge a premium to get into. TVs, booze and betting windows, it would be awesome.

If you can't sit through a game without needing to gamble, like I said then you have a gambling problem.

Similar to my position that if you can't sit through a game without needing a beer.

You just need more money. That way you don't have to worry about it being tied up.

Kurt would be super mad knowing a lot of people already bet on CFB inside the Jack before this passed.

Put your orders in on Friday? Doesn't seem like a big deal.

If that is the reason then I think better money management is the answer. Betting too large of a stake on any one game, or stock, or anything, is a sure way to lose in the end.

Getting closer to becoming a reality. Anyone making plans to show up at a casino? Also we need to get some future bets on the Sportsbook if possible.

Yah. I'm trying to figure out the process for online betting with each casino to see where I want to get setup. I'd like to catch a game or two at the sports book, but I don't want to spend every Saturday there.

 

[Penguin]

Agreed. Might be a good time for special events. .. March Madness or CFB semi-finals. But on the typical Saturday, it'll be nice to have mobile.

Good luck during march madness. I can almost guarantee there will be people sleeping in the chairs the night before to reserve them. Ever been to vegas during this time? There are 100s of books there and you have to be there 5+ hours in advance to get a seat.
