Montana Approves Online Sports Betting
The Montana Governor signed off on sports betting legislation, technically becoming the 9th US state to legalize the activity within its borders and the second state west of the Misssippi after New Mexico since the US Supreme Court ruled to abolish decades of prohibition.
Taverns in the Bozeman area are likely to offer sports betting via kiosks.
Bettors will have to gamble within establishments that have machines selling lottery tickets already.
Greek lottery company Interlot will operate the sportsbook monopoly.
Montana Tavern Association director John Iverson said the main benefit of sports betting for members of his organization will be not so much the extra gaming revenue, which will be small, but increase in customers it will bring to bars and taverns — the “extra cheeseburgers; extra slices of pizza.”
Magic Diamond Casino, Lucky Lil's Casino, Jackpot Casino are just a few of the Bozeman establishments that could offer sports betting.
Montana College Football Fans
Montana State's only FSC title came back in 1984 but their fan base is as loyal as they come.
Their stadium seats just under 18,000 yet typically requires "standing room only" space and temporary bleachers.
But it is the Grizzly faithful of the University of Montana that ranks among the most loyal in this conference.
They typically lead the conference in attendance with over 25,000 fans per contest.
Athletes, coaches, team staff, team owners, and referees are all prohibited from making wagers.
The good news is there are no provisions excluding bets on Montana's top College Football programs.
Betting lines on Montana teams are not always available.
