Bookmaker, the oldest established North American online sportsbook, has released odds on if The NFL Will Have a Team in Las Vegas following news that the Raiders may be relocating there from Oakland.
YES will pay just shy of $20 for every $10 bet. No was coming in as the favorite at -259.
The value is certainly on the YES after it was revealed that Raiders team owner Mark Davis had met with Vegas billionaire Sheldon Adelson to discuss the prospects of a new stadium that is already slated to host UNLV College Football games.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell also said in an interview this week he would have no objections to a team playing in the gambling Mecca despite the league’s strong anti-gambling stance over the years.
"Ultimately, it's the ownership's decision," Goodell said on the Rich Eisen Show. "It requires 24 of the 32 owners to approve any relocation to any market."
No move is anticipated until 2016 assuming the Raiders organization opts to relocate from the Oakland area.
