Good news for all the sports bettors out there…
The MLB announced in Wednesday that the league will be “re-examining” it’s stance on gambling which, as far as I’m concerned, means two things: 1. Pete Rose may finally get the Hall of Fame nod he freaking deserves, and 2. It’s another step towards the total legalization across the country. “There is this buzz out there in terms of people feeling that there may be an opportunity here for additional legalized sports betting,” Manfred told Yahoo Finance at the All Markets Summit in New York. “From the perspective of our sport, we are re-examining our stance on gambling. It’s a conversation that’s ongoing with the owners.” This is good news. Adam Silver has already softened his view a ton on gambling, and now we have the MLB, who have despised it over the years, thinking about doing the same thing. It’s going to happen, folks. I can feel it.
