Eric Uribe

Born and raised in Nevada, Eric was exposed to the world of sports betting at an early age. He yearned to be 21 just to hit the sportsbook, and when that day finally came, he became a regular at the smoke-filled room, sweating out bets with sketchy characters. Eric's passion for sports betting hasn't wavered since. However, he's developed a separate interest in business too. Eric combines both these deep passions for OSB where he not only drops expert betting advice, but also researched news about the state of industry. Things like new legalization bills, tax changes, state revenue, innovation, and so much more!

Ten new states have passed a bill to legalize sports wagering in the last year alone, with more expected to follow. Some states, however, remain holdouts.

And what does this mean for the state and bettors moving forward? Let's talk about it.

2021/06/09

Wyoming is set to join the throng of states that have legalized sports betting in some form. The move, while not entirely unexpected, comes after an initial rejection. That leaves some skeptical it will get past the governor, who, in this scenario, ultimately has the final say. But we don't believe there's any cause for concern.
