Jeff Haney over at the LV Sun’s had a bad run with Vegas sports books recently. In his latest column, he comes just short of calling for an immediate ban on all sports betting. Here’s the apex of the piece:
My opinion of elected public officials places them slightly below Saturday morning scamdicapper slime on the human evolutionary scale, so I harbor no high hopes they’re capable of taking any meaningful action against unethical sports books.
Still, I wonder if there are any Nevada politicians who:
A grasp at least the rudiments of sports betting and therefore understand why the conduct of Boyd Gaming is ethically reprehensible, and B are not in the pocket of Big Gaming.
I fully realize the odds against that particular two-team parlay coming in are astronomical.
Even a sports book manager would have to admit that’s good writing.
