Where is the sportsbook at Busch going?

[TAFKAP]

Wonder how big it will be.

[Charles King]

Are they allowing betting in the stadium

Are they allowing betting in the stadium

I’m not sure. But I would think Ballpark Village would be a better spot for it anyway.

[TAFKAP]

Edit, I read the law, not MLB policy. It can be on property but not in the stadium. Sorry for the false premise.

I swear I remember Derrick Goold either writing or reading about the Cardinals front off and how they're going to deal with this, but I can't remember anything they said.

Maybe something like them knowing that the perception among some is that making basically everything covering sports anymore is gambling and that it grosses people out. Not to mention the whole 100+ year old aversion to being even remotely associated in gambling. It was the biggest sin a player or team could commit.

I don't have a problem with people gambling and I used to bet on games through a bookie or in Vegas or whatever. But it was through a person. Now you're just giving some billionaire (donkey)(censored) another billion to put towards his yacht. And you can do it right there on your phone. At least a casino might ban you if you got too crazy with the gambling. Pump all you want into these betting apps. Who's going to ever stop you? Lose all you want. No thank you. I'll gamble through an actual guy. The human interaction is good.

But, yeah, they should probably build it in whatever they call that big, giant circle room with the huge TV at Ballpark Village? It's almost perfectly set up already to look like a sports book. It would probably make a good sports book. Maybe it'll bring a lot more people to Ballpark Village on nights during the week or something just because degenerate gamblers will show up anywhere where they can drink and gamble. Then again, it might scare off a lot of regular people. You ever been to the horse track on a random afternoon? Not people I want to be surrounded by.

Remember when gambling was taboo in baseball

It will be somewhere close because the law says team owners can operate on "on property". Ownership helped write the law, so you can believe it's in the works. That's how they make money off it.

Apparently I offended one of those race track dirt bags.

[cardinalsfever44]

I took my boys to Cincinnati a month ago and their sportsbook bar and grill was right outside the stadium in their "ballpark village" type area. I'm sure there will be something similar right outside Busch shortly.
