Vermont is inching closer to legalizing online sports betting after a Senate committee approved an online sports betting bill and will now send the document to the floor.
The Vermont Senate Finance Committee approved , a online sports betting bill that will authorize at a minimum two online sports betting licenses and a maximum of six licenses for the Green Mountain State.
The bill was by a voice vote in the House of Representatives in late March. There is no brick-and-mortar sportsbook element in the bill.
Senate Approval Likely
Rep. Matthew Birong’s (D-3) bill was introduced in January about two months after a study committee recommended Vermont legalize sports betting in the 2023 legislative session.
Birong s sports betting bill is expected to be …
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and his legal team came in under the buzzer and filed their response to West Flagler s petition for a writ of quo warranto with the Florida Supreme Court to strip the online sports betting language out of the state s 2021 gaming compact.
Ashley Moody, Florida Attorney General, and DeSantis submitted their response at 11:22 p.m. Friday, Dec. 1, the deadline to file the response.
West Flagler s choice to wait two-and-a-half years to file suit in Florida is unjustifiable, DeSantis notes, and fails on its own merits as does not fall under casino gambling as defined in the Florida Constitution.
Online Sports Betting is Not Casino Gambling
Online sports betting is not casino gambling, DeSantis noted in the response, under the definition provided…

Hold on just a second, sports betting, you re not cleared for the November general election ballot just yet.
A lawsuit filed in the Circuit Court of Cole County against Missouri Secretary of State John Ashcroft asserts that the official improperly certified the sports wagering petition for the upcoming general election.
The plaintiffs allege that Ashcroft incorrectly calculated the necessary number of valid signatures for the petition to appear on the ballot and the campaign did not reach the signature threshold in all necessary Missouri counties.
If Judge Cotton Walker rules in favor of the plaintiffs, the sports betting initiative will not appear on the November general election ballot.
Did the Campaign Actually Come up Short?
The plaintiffs, who are …
Despite the 'friendly' designation for the USMNT-Canada match, there is much at stake for both sides
Not all friendlies are created equal. Most are experimental in nature, allowing coaches and players to try new things or make new statements. The purpose of a friendly match in international soccer is to look inward, learn things about your team, rather than beat down the opponent in front of you.
In some ways, Saturday's friendly against Canada falls into that category for the U.S. men's national team. It's a chance for players to prove themselves, for new systems to take hold.
Of course, in this case, it's also more than that. Much more.
Saturday's 4 p.m. match in Kansas City is one of the most storyline-driven friendlies in recen…
