We failed (87% no - it was crushed) both an online betting measure and a casino (tribal casinos reign here) sports book measure last winter in CA. They packaged it with good intentions giving some proceeds to the homeless issues here. Mind you the issue can’t be solved mainly because of the solutions offered. But the resounding message was passing it would make people homeless. The propaganda against it pointed directly at the folks with impulse control issues. Nevermind the folks who bought homes 5,10,20 plus years ago that are sitting on a ton of equity and pay their taxes and want a little added excitement watching a game.
