Gambling Vote Florida

TAMPA, Florida — Voters could soon change the way casino gambling expands in Florida. Amendment 3 would take control over expanding casinos in Florida away from the Florida Legislature,.

• On Tuesday night, voters decided to keep the exclusive right to decide to authorize expansions of casino gambling in Florida. Amendment 3, which was proposed by Voters in Charge, garnered roughly.
• Stand with voters in charge and give the people of florida the exclusive right to approve or disapprove any form of casino gambling in florid.
• Require that voters approve a constitutional amendment through citizen initiative to authorize any new casino gambling in Florida, essentially stripping that authority from the Legislature. Preclude constitutional approval of casinos through other means, including amendments offered by the Legislature or by the CRC.

Support the independent voice of Miami and help keep the future of New Times free.

After a huge U.S. Supreme Court decision today, gambling on sports might be legal in some states in time for this fall's NFL season. But Florida won't be one of them.

That's because approval by the state Legislature, a constitutional amendment, and sports betting's impact on an existing agreement with the Seminole Tribe of Florida stand in the way of legally laying down a wager on the latest Miami Dolphins game. Slot polynorm roldeur.

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 today to strike down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, a 1992 law barring states from legalizing gambling on sports. The ruling left Nevada as the only state where Americans could wager on the results of a single game.

Gaming-law experts had been predicting this outcome since the case was first heard in December, and some states had even begun putting procedures in place to quickly regulate bets on sports. The West Virginia Legislature, for example, conditionally approved sports gambling and has a regulatory system already in place. Mississippi also passed a bill, with regulations to come.

Fort Lauderdale lawyer Daniel Wallach, who predicted the 6-3 vote by the justices, says he wouldn't be surprised if Mississippi moved fast enough to allow betting on this NFL season. More than a dozen other states have sports wagering in the pipeline.

Then there's Florida. Let's knock out the more obvious roadblocks first: The state Legislature is not even in session until next year, and a simple vote for approval might face a fight in Tallahassee, where gambling votes are never simple.

This November 6, voters will also decide on Amendment 3, which basically puts all decisions to expand gambling up to a constitutional amendment. Sports betting sure looks like 'gambling expansion' under that definition, so if Amendment 3 passes — and polls show it probably will — the public will have a say in approving sports betting in the Sunshine State.

But the greater challenge in Florida, and many other states, will be reconciling existing agreements, which are called compacts, with Native American tribes. In Florida, the Seminole Tribe pays more than $250 million per year to have exclusive rights to slots outside of South Florida (the Tampa area is the Tribe's biggest moneymaker) and to conduct table games at all of its casinos. South Florida racetrack casinos can offer only slots and poker. The compact can be voided, though, if there is gambling expansion.

Native American tribes, many of whom have compacts guaranteeing them some sort of exclusivity, have seen this ruling coming. At the National Indian Gaming Association Tradeshow & Convention this past April in Las Vegas, speakers devoted quite a bit of time to playing the what-if game.

'The challenge will be what your current compact allows and how the negotiations go,' said Conrad Granito, general manager of the tribal Muckleshoot Casino in Washington state. In addition to the latest Supreme Court ruling, legalized internet and mobile gambling probably aren't far away, which would again challenge the concept of exclusivity.

Some experts expect that a dedicated sports book would be created in fewer than 100 of the approximately 480 tribal gambling operations in 28 states. That's because so many tribal casinos are just too small. Of the more than $30 billion in revenue produced by Indian gaming, only a couple dozen casinos are responsible for about three-fourths of the haul.

Support the independent voice of Miami and help keep the future of New Times free.

Jonodev Chaudhuri, chairman of the National Indian Gaming Commission, was coy about whether local tribes would be interested in sports betting during a talk at a meeting of the National Council of Legislators From Gaming States this past January in Miami. He noted that for many tribes, adding another gambling enterprise — one that doesn't make that much money, really — could be a difficult sell. Chaudhuri notes that most of the tribal facilities basically provide essential revenue for the well-being of tribes.

'They're basically jobs programs located in rural communities,' he said, adding that sports betting is a low-margin business. The house keeps only 5 percent of the amount bet and must pay staffing and other essentials.

Inside the casino world, the American Gaming Association has made legalizing sports gambling its pet issue for about two years. So today is the company's payday.

But for the general public, there are many details left to be handled. A solid guess is you'll be able to place a legal sports bet in South Florida around the same time the Miami Marlins vie for a pennant.

Latest US Election Odds News for December 2020:

November closed out without an acknowledgement by President Donald Trump that he failed to win re-election, which has historically been a hallmark signifying the peaceful transition of power between administrations. Instead, Trump has continued to attack the process, the vote counters, and just about everyone else who will not defy reality and declare him the winner.

The administration is continuing its legal challenges in a number of battleground states, but the number of defeats those efforts have had in court outnumber the victories by a factor of 10. As more states officially certify Joe Biden the winner, Trump's legal path to victory, which was already nigh impossible, shrinks into nonexistence. The only official movement towards transitioning to a Biden administration, which begins at noon on Jan. 20, has been Trump reluctantly agreeing to free up long-delayed transition funds to help ensure the incoming administration is prepared to take the reins on day one. President-Elect Biden and Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris are also set to receive classified intelligence briefings starting Monday, Nov. 30.

It's 2020, which means absolutely nothing can go according to plan, so here we are in December with an election outcome that's obvious to everyone except the incumbent. Trump and his team can run out the clock for now, but on Dec. 14 the Electoral College will officially cast their votes based on states' certified results, at which point Biden and Harris will be unambiguously and immutably declared the winners.

The Bonus.com 2020 US Presidential Election Tracker continues to tally up the amount wagered on the election from overseas, with the tally nearly doubling since Election Day to over $1.5 billion.

2020 US Presidential Election Odds

The 2020 US Presidential election is considered to be the most important election of modern times. A new normal to everyday life means a lot is at stake. Polling numbers are one way to predict just what will happen in November. The 2020 presidential election odds tells a different story.

When it comes to the odds to win the presidency, track the odds here. With up to the minute presidential bet odds bookmark this page and check back often.

How Odds On Elections Are Calculated

Presidential betting odds are calculated using an aggregated weighted index including numbers from:

• Betfair Exchange
• Betway
• PredictIt

Using the chart above you can view odds from all of them at once, weighted, or check an individual market. A betting exchange (Betfair Exchange, PredicIt) lets people bet against each other. The bookmaker (Betway) takes less risk but will take a small percentage of winnings.

Election betting is often referred to as 'futures' because it is a wager on a specific, future event. Most election wagers are moneyline bets or straight bets. It's a straight forward wager normally with no spread involved.

For a sporting event, you are bidding on which team will win. For betting on the presidential election, you are bidding on which candidate will win.

How Are The Presidential Election Betting Percentages Calculated

When comparing the presidential odds, a plus symbol means that the option is an underdog. The minus symbol means the option is a favorite to win.

For example, let's say Trump's election odds are -125. If you bet $125, you would win $100 and get back the $125 bet if he wins. On the other hand, what if the odds that Joe Biden will win the election are +135. If you bet $100 on Biden to win, you win $135 and get back the original $100 bet.

When the 2020 election odds are +135 that means oddsmakers give the Democrats a 42.55% chance of winning the election. The return on the wager is higher. This is because betting on the US presidential election underdog is seen as a more risky bet.

Gambling Vote In Florida

When Trump's election odds are set at -125, presidential bet odds give Republicans a 55.56% chance of winning.

How Accurate Are The Betting Odds For The Election

As with any wager, it's important to look at the sources of information that lead people to choose one bet or another. In this case, news coverage and election polling are common sources of information.

Prior to the 2016 election, people commonly trusted reliable polling numbers. That's changed in the 2018 and 2020 elections.

So, how accurate are the betting odds? They change daily (and even hourly) based on peoples' perceptions of who will win the election. The odds are volatile right now as each national and international event, and most importantly the government's response to Coronavirus, affect the public's perceptions of each candidate.

2020 Election Key Dates

Many of the key election dates are set months or years in advance. The calendar is in flux due to the effect of COVID-19 on large gatherings or in-person voting.

Several states postponed their Democratic primaries due to stay-at-home restrictions. Also, the primaries are now less influential because Vice President Joe Biden is the presumptive nominee for the Democratic Party.

FAQs – U.S. Presidential Election Betting And Odds

The most common prop bet is simply who will win the election. It is also possible to wager on other results of the 2020 election. The political betting market includes who will win the popular vote, who will win the Electoral college, or who will control the U.S. House of Representatives.

No, due to restrictive regulations against political and election betting, sportsbooks won't take an election bet. When Nevada state set the regulations for sports betting in 1985, they restricted betting to professional sports. Over the years, Nevada loosened the rules to include college sports and the Olympics. Despite that, the state still does not allow for election betting. There is still talk of Vegas presidential odds, though. Some of the top oddsmakers in Vegas are offering their predictions. They are posting lines, just like they would for other non-sports events, like the Oscars. Although they are prohibited from taking bets, it's more of a marketing gimmick, for entertainment purposes only.

Peoples' perceptions of the likelihood of an outcome affect the percentages daily, and even hourly. News and current events affect peoples' perceptions, particularly in a volatile and ever-changing news cycle.

In the past, endorsements were a key indicator of the eventual nominee and election winner. The 2016 election, though, ended that trend. That said, endorsements can indicate how an elected official will turn out the vote in their jurisdiction. (FiveThirtyEight?)

Polling data can provide a good indicator of the likely outcome of an election. These are, of course, polls and not results and should be taken with a grain of salt. The 2016 election resulted in some of the most traditionally reliable polls being totally off base. Some of the most well-respected polls for US election monitoring are RealClear Politics and FiveThirtyEight.

The odds markets continue to take into consideration unlikely candidates. For now, this still includes Senator Bernie Sanders but also includes the odds of candidates like Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Vice President Mike Pence, or Governor Andrew Cuomo becoming president – all long-shot candidates.
