yeah but you can bet on college games just not the 1-2 NY state ones.

think about how it works.. say there is 50K in bets made on an SU game in NY state if its legal.

if you bribe a player how much are we talking to get him to do it?  1k? 5k? 10K?

now after you get a kid to do that, you have to make money.  you going to bet 10k? after making a 1-5K investment?   thats not worth the effort.  so say you want to bet 20K?  well legally you wont be able to, you will have to make the house limit which will be more like 1K so you have to make 20 bets.  Now if that happens in a legal betting world , the pts will move since you are now causing a huge shift in the houses coverage of that game.

now in this new world you could trying laying off the bets in multiple states but just how big an operation is trying to do this?

bells and whistles go off in the legal world since they all talk to each other now.

instead we keep it going thru the bookies if its a local thing and we are right back to the whole BC scandle.  an and that got caught because of vegas figuring it out.

if its not a local thing then not allowing the local team bets doesnt matter since the local dude is fixing a game in iowa and this doesnt stop that.

by not allowing the local betting are then assuming no one is betting on the local teams now?
