Arrr, matey! A jolly crew in Connecticut be concoctin' a scheme to let landlubbers wager on their flights! Betwixt the heavens and the sea, they be defyin' the other scallywags' laws on games of chance. Aye, let the skies be the new gambling den!
Avast ye, mateys! A curious tale be brewin' in the fair state of Connecticut, where a bill hath been cast to allow scallywags to place bets whilst flyin' the skies to and from the state! State Rep. Christopher Rosario be the clever dog behind this crafty scheme. Yet, beware! The pesky federal laws, like the Gambling Devices Act of 1962, may throw a wrench in the works, for it bans gambling devices aboard commercial vessels of the air!But fret not, says the clever barrister Daniel Wallach! A cell phone, he claims, be not a gambling device, but merely a magical contraption for communication, akin to scribblin' on a parchment with a quill! Aye, he argues that the law be as tangled as a sailor’s knots, not stoppin' the art of bettin' in the skies!
Yet, the seas be rough with a dozen states layin' anchor against sports gambling, whilst thirty-seven others be sailin' smooth. Delta Air Lines be ponderin' a partnership with the mighty DraftKings, a titan in the realm of sports betting. Meanwhile, a study from Eilers & Krejcik suggests that Texas, where gambling be illegal, could reap a treasure trove of $360 million from taxes alone!
So hoist the sails, me hearties, and keep an eye on the skies for the winds of change in the world of sports betting! Yarrr!
