Serious Concerns Bubbling Up Around Tennessee’s Sports Betting Future

Brett Smiley is the editor-in-chief and co-founder of SportsHandle, which partnered with Team USA Bets in November 2018. He focuses on the sports betting industry and regulations. He is an avid sports gambler himself, primarily attending NFL and college basketball contests. He previously worked as a commercial litigator in New York and was a contributor to Fox Sports and Si. com. He lives with his family in New Jersey.

Tennessee emerged as a dark horse in the “legal sports betting” space this spring with the passage of SB16, the first bill of its kind in the U. S. to legalize sports betting in the Volunteer State on mobile/electronic applications only. The deadline for public comment on the proposed rules, released in late November, is fast approaching.

There are three main concerns: First, on page 42 of the 47-page rule, 15. 1. 11, “Rules Concerning Maximum Payment Amounts,” states that “annual total payments to gaming operators shall not exceed 85%.”

Those nine words and one number appear to require state-licensed operators to retain at least 15% of the total entries registered in their sportsbooks annually. In existing U. S. markets, there is no such requirement, with typical annual retention rates of around 5-7% (or payouts of around 93-95%). The inescapable conclusion is that imposing such a requirement will ultimately hurt patrons, as well as licensed operators who must manage requirements that run counter to industry standards. Whether through significant underpricing, reduced promotions, or other creative ways to move more cash away from consumers, this will likely threaten the long-term viability, or at least the market capitalization, of Tennessee’s legal sports betting market.

Under 85%of conditions, if there is a pull (a bet that is combined with multiple options and no one can lose to reduce your bet), the bet is considered a loss. There is a clause (15. 1. 12). According to the industry standard, if a part of the multifunctional parle ties or "push", if there are two or 10 games in Parlay, the legs will be canceled and the remaining bed will be adjusted but survive.

This rule may seem harmless, but Palle is often a little bet and wins a lot of recruitment players, and the general "house" is for such an upside promise. It is very popular to provide a higher percentage of these items. This rule changes the fundamental nature of parles for both gamblers and sportsbooks.

The third important concern is the industry concerns about the Tennessee State Lottery Corporation (TELC), which is responsible for the formulation of sports betting and the formulation of regulations, this is the historical law (TELC). It is contrary to the fact that the legislature has tried to achieve it in the public chapter 507).

It is important that the rules of page 47 were announced on November 22, before Jennifer Roberts was announced as a sports gambling regulation director. Roberts has been active as a lawyer in Nevada for more than 10 years, and has been a par t-time professor at William S. Void Law School and S-J. Quinney College at the local Utah university. A lawyer.

"The state is trying to create a unique sports betting brand," said Roberts, a new job in early December, in a CDC gaming. "I think this is a great chance. I like to work with regulatory authorities, and this is an opportunity to be involved in the process from the beginning."

"We are excited about Jennifer to participate in Tennessee lottery Co., Ltd.," When the recruitment of Roberts was announced, TELC President and CEO (CEO) Rebecca Harglobe said Sports. " Gaming's experience and knowledge will be very useful for Tennessee's Lottery Co., Ltd. to develop basic components and regulations for online, sports gaming products. "

Roberts is presumed to have been adopted with the feeling and experience of the Silver State and Las Vegas (Mecca of lon g-term US sports betting). However, she has just taken this job, has more stable methods than other organizations, and some organizations have been relieved to make an existing business agreement.

Impact of 85% capped payout on sports betting in Tennessee

Payout has no limit in a state where markets such as Nevada and New Jersey are thriving. Sports and sports betting are unpredictable, and the results of the two variables are unpredictable. This also applies to the payout rate. Of course, the house must maintain some edges, and eventually have to balance the annual balance, and the "hold" percentage, that is, the total amount of sportsbooks is usually about 5 to 7 of the whole bed. %.

Tennessee's rules are at least twice as much. This rule will forcibly use customs that contrary to industry standards and sacrifice users.

As a matter of fact, Lloyd Danjig, the founder of the industry analyst and the founder of Sharp Alpha Advisors, tells TNBETS:

"If the calculation is completed at the end of the year and the annual payment exceeds 85 %, will the operator ask customers to lose profits? If so, what formula is the debt of each customer. How is the country of the "debt" collector of the "overdue" account? If there is a person who does not have such an economic means, how will the designation be determined? "

One industry official, "Why the committee is forced to give users a much less than the standard, as they are traditionally performed in other states, such as Mississippi in the neighborhood. I can't understand that, how do I plan a book design that can be played with less rewards in order to avoid such a situation?
