JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Since the start of the NFL season back in September, there’s been roughly 8.7 million attempts to place a sports bet in Missouri, according to GeoComply.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle say that Missouri is playing a losing hand after not legalizing sports betting last year. What are the odds this session? The House took the first step Wednesday night towards making it legal to place wagers on college and professional sports teams.
Just days before super Sunday, representatives in the House Emerging Issues Committee are talking sports betting.
