lol I kept saying today NY state is probably going to break records for betting in a weekend this weekend. Sports are different here. Our stadium might get paid for by Wednesday with this state money rolling in

FanDuel advertised a $1,000 risk-free first bet. Bills logo on the ad. I clicked it. Downloaded the app. Signed up. Went to redeem the offer…

 

“Oops. You do not qualify for this offer.”

 

Bye FanDuel.

I guess this is why I was never a gambler. Got my free $100 credit and can't even figure out how to place a bet. No clue what all the - 100 etc means 🤣

There are books, on line tutorials, everything. In the most simplistic terms, most Sports can be bet with a Points, Goals, etc. line where you can take either side OR a Money Line, where you simply pick the winner. But, option 2 weights the line, heavily against you for the team most likely to win and heavily for you for the underdog.

 

There are many, many, many additional permutations and combinations based on the Total Score over multiple time periods and the same bet described above, over multiple time periods. ( Think 1st. Quarter)

NYS taking 51% of everything.  wow.

Are they taking it from the bettors or the bookie's profits?

Fortunately for the bettors, it's not like horse racing where the more the state takes, the lower the bet payoff.  The bettors get the same odds no matter how much the state takes.  So it's a risk for the betting companies.  I guess they figure having a high profile state like NY is better than not even if they lose some money here.

OK, but are winning bettors expected to declare the profits?

Told friends last week Bama minus points to Cincy was a lock.

Expand  

So did I. Cincy's biggest DL was 285 lbs, so I knew that Bama would run all day and the total would be under. I also made GA a strong play.

It's nys, I'd be shocked if the state doesnt take their portion. It's probably 100% of the reason they made sports betting legal

When you play a daily number for 1 dollar and hit for $500, there is no proof that you won. You can even buy multiple tickets and cash them in intervals. It just seems to me that these bets are online and records are kept. I don't know how this will work.

If one had to pay tax on winning bets, you would be better off with a bookie (if you can find one).
