NOTE Confidence: 0.8826716

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.630
A Missouri legislator is willing

NOTE Confidence: 0.8826716

00:00:01.630 --> 00:00:03.643
to bet the house that sports

NOTE Confidence: 0.8826716

00:00:03.643 --> 00:00:05.557
wagering in the state would be

NOTE Confidence: 0.8826716

00:00:05.560 --> 00:00:07.555
a success. This comes after the Cardinals

NOTE Confidence: 0.8826716

00:00:07.555 --> 00:00:09.529
Blues and Saint Louis SC announced

NOTE Confidence: 0.8826716

00:00:09.529 --> 00:00:10.949
their backing ballot initiatives

NOTE Confidence: 0.8826716

00:00:10.949 --> 00:00:12.669
to legalize betting new tonight.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8826716

00:00:12.670 --> 00:00:15.469
Our Holden Car Wiki shows us how some say

NOTE Confidence: 0.8826716

00:00:15.469 --> 00:00:18.476
the show me state could be the big winner.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8927533

00:00:19.450 --> 00:00:21.010
For years, sports betting has been

NOTE Confidence: 0.8927533

00:00:21.010 --> 00:00:23.130
a taboo topic in Missouri. I'm pro

NOTE Confidence: 0.8927533

00:00:23.130 --> 00:00:24.545
sports betting and I hopefully

NOTE Confidence: 0.8927533

00:00:24.545 --> 00:00:25.677
Missouri should consider it.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8927533

00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:27.552
'cause I think it would just be a

NOTE Confidence: 0.8927533

00:00:27.552 --> 00:00:29.056
win win scenario for everyone's

NOTE Confidence: 0.8927533

00:00:29.056 --> 00:00:31.331
sports are huge and in the United

NOTE Confidence: 0.8927533

00:00:31.340 --> 00:00:33.044
States, so I'm assuming that it'll

NOTE Confidence: 0.8927533

00:00:33.044 --> 00:00:35.332
be every state will have it at some

NOTE Confidence: 0.8927533

00:00:35.332 --> 00:00:36.702
point for three straight years.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8927533

00:00:36.710 --> 00:00:38.100
Bills have been brought forward

NOTE Confidence: 0.8927533

00:00:38.100 --> 00:00:39.830
in the legislature only to stall.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8927533

00:00:39.830 --> 00:00:41.526
It's still illegal to bet on

NOTE Confidence: 0.8927533

00:00:41.526 --> 00:00:43.224
sports in the state of Missouri.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8927533

00:00:43.224 --> 00:00:44.916
Meanwhile, across the river in Illinois,

NOTE Confidence: 0.8927533

00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:46.534
the state collected 57 million in

NOTE Confidence: 0.8927533

00:00:46.534 --> 00:00:48.030
tax revenues from sports betting.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8927533

00:00:48.030 --> 00:00:49.750
In the last fiscal year.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8927533

00:00:49.750 --> 00:00:51.155
And Representative Dan Shaw believes

NOTE Confidence: 0.8927533

00:00:51.155 --> 00:00:52.856
some of that money is coming

NOTE Confidence: 0.8927533

00:00:52.856 --> 00:00:54.340
from the show Me state. Well,

NOTE Confidence: 0.9057762

00:00:54.340 --> 00:00:56.230
they're not only going across the river,

NOTE Confidence: 0.9057762

00:00:56.230 --> 00:00:57.286
they're also going offshore.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9057762

00:00:57.286 --> 00:00:59.194
And when you go offshore or it

NOTE Confidence: 0.9057762

00:00:59.194 --> 00:01:00.280
goes somewhere else, Missouri

NOTE Confidence: 0.9057762

00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:01.630
doesn't benefit from that. He's

NOTE Confidence: 0.9057762

00:01:01.630 --> 00:01:03.000
willing to wager that Missouri

NOTE Confidence: 0.9057762

00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:04.679
could bring in more than 40

NOTE Confidence: 0.9057762

00:01:04.679 --> 00:01:05.949
million per year by allowing

NOTE Confidence: 0.9057762

00:01:05.949 --> 00:01:07.569
residents to BET on ball games,

NOTE Confidence: 0.9057762

00:01:07.570 --> 00:01:09.376
and he already has an idea of

NOTE Confidence: 0.9057762

00:01:09.376 --> 00:01:11.078
where the state could spend it.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8495927

00:01:12.610 --> 00:01:14.185
Revenue source should be used

NOTE Confidence: 0.8495927

00:01:14.185 --> 00:01:15.764
for for our veterans, they've

NOTE Confidence: 0.8495927

00:01:15.764 --> 00:01:17.648
they've committed so much to us,

NOTE Confidence: 0.8495927

00:01:17.650 --> 00:01:20.170
we need to commit to them as well.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8495927

00:01:20.170 --> 00:01:21.322
With the Cardinals, Blues,

NOTE Confidence: 0.8495927

00:01:21.322 --> 00:01:23.449
Royals and Saint Louis City SC Parling

NOTE Confidence: 0.8495927

00:01:23.449 --> 00:01:25.525
their support in the ballot initiatives,

NOTE Confidence: 0.8495927

00:01:25.530 --> 00:01:27.770
it can ultimately be up to the

NOTE Confidence: 0.8495927

00:01:27.770 --> 00:01:29.618
voters to decide if the state

NOTE Confidence: 0.8495927

00:01:29.620 --> 00:01:31.160
should play ball initiative petitions

NOTE Confidence: 0.8495927

00:01:31.160 --> 00:01:33.399
filed by the people that say Missouri.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8495927

00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:35.310
I think the General Assembly

NOTE Confidence: 0.8495927

00:01:35.310 --> 00:01:37.520
will be much more eager to.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8495927

00:01:37.520 --> 00:01:40.508
To get a bill passed and get the details

NOTE Confidence: 0.9109801

00:01:40.510 --> 00:01:42.095
right, legislators in Missouri can

NOTE Confidence: 0.9109801

00:01:42.095 --> 00:01:44.432
start pre filing bills for the 2022

NOTE Confidence: 0.9109801

00:01:44.432 --> 00:01:45.820
sessions starting December 1st.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9109801

00:01:45.820 --> 00:01:47.890
Attorneys for the Missouri Sports Team

NOTE Confidence: 0.9109801

00:01:47.890 --> 00:01:50.226
Coalition tell me they want to see

NOTE Confidence: 0.9109801

00:01:50.226 --> 00:01:52.020
sports gambling legalized in some form

NOTE Confidence: 0.9109801

00:01:52.020 --> 00:01:54.080
by early 2022 reporting in downtown

NOTE Confidence: 0.9109801

00:01:54.080 --> 00:01:56.110
Saint Louis Holden Car wiki file

NOTE Confidence: 0.9109801

00:01:56.110 --> 00:01:58.266
on your side. An attorney for the

NOTE Confidence: 0.9109801

00:01:58.266 --> 00:01:59.606
Missouri Sports Team Coalition

NOTE Confidence: 0.9109801

00:01:59.606 --> 00:02:01.376
told us they believe sports

NOTE Confidence: 0.9109801

00:02:01.376 --> 00:02:03.080
wagering would provide a fun,

NOTE Confidence: 0.9109801

00:02:03.080 --> 00:02:05.078
exciting new way to enjoy sports.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9109801

00:02:05.080 --> 00:02:06.464
Others say gambling addiction

NOTE Confidence: 0.9109801

00:02:06.464 --> 00:02:07.848
is a real problem.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9109801

00:02:07.850 --> 00:02:11.295
That will undoubtedly get worse.
