The American Gaming Association expects $35 billion in bets to be placed on NFL games in 2024, about one-third more than last year’s total.
te lo puedes creer?? la peña mete 35 mil millonacos en "apuestas"... bueno, si metemos en ese concepto al "pisito" la verdad es que es sencillo de entender...
os cuento, en 2012, los de atlantic city se saltaron la ley anti-apuestas federal, porque se estaban hundiendo en la mierda (bueno, eso dicen, pero basar tu economía en "casinos" es bastante mierder de por sí)
les quisieron multar y tal, pero resulta que alegaron "10º enmienda", y el supremo les dio la razón en 2018, eso era "competencia de los estados" (supremo trucho, ni cotiza)
y claro, reacción en cadena y 38 legalizaron el juego, porque sacan unos 10 billardos en impuestos (se estima que las apuestas mueven unos 1000 millones al mes y subiendo)
Because different states legalized sports gambling at different times, social scientists can compare different measures of well-being in states that did legalize with those that did not, before and after legalization.
los papers:
conclusiones:
- legal sports gambling depletes households’ savings. Specifically, for every $1 spent on betting, households put $2 less into investment accounts.
- States see big increases in the risk of overdrafting a bank account or maxing out a credit card. These effects are strongest among already precarious households.
- the risk that a household goes bankrupt by 25 to 30 percent, and increases debt delinquency.
- young men living in low-income counties—further evidence that those most hurt by sports gambling are the least well-off.
- domestic violence: upset loss causes a 10 percent increase in reported incidents of men being violent toward their partner.
- sports gambling is addictive; although many people can do just a little of it, some keep playing compulsively, well past the point of no return.
esta no me la esperaba:
- small number of people place the large majority of bets—about 5 percent of bettors spent 70 percent of the money in New Jersey in late 2020 and early 2021
aquí cumplimos las leyes de pareto, eh?? 20-80, qué es esto de que el 5 controla el 70?? menudo guano!!
y bueno, igual huele un poco a corruptela, eh??
Tax revenue—one of the major justifications for legalization—has been anemic, with all 38 legal states combined making only about $500 million from it a quarter, less than alcohol, tobacco, or marijuana. And it hasn’t even shrunk the illegal market, at least in Massachusetts, where bettors were just as likely to use unauthorized betting sites after legalization.
así que por unos cacahuetes, los estados han dejado que grandes empresas se forren a costa de unos cuantos y sus consecuencias van más allá de unos pocos tipos arruinados...
en fin, que no hagáis como cinta y no apostéis y tal
