Rhode Island governor has approved a mobile sports betting bill. Bettors will be able to bet in the state borders without going to the two sports books at Twin Rivers and Tiverton. No launch date yet.

I like that they put in the kiosks but this will be even better i think.
Plenty of gamblers in the Rhode Island region.
Illinois will be voting on legalized sports betting this spring.
The state is broke and desperately needs the revenue.

That would be huge. My friend said he was listening to vsin and one of the guys from prop swap said Illinois was one of the state's they get the most buyers from.
Plenty of gamblers in R.I. but not many tech guys..app won't be ready until Nov..would have thought they would be ready to roll pending the approval ..
The biggest problem for Prop Swap: the sports books do not offer legitimate odds when posting future-book prices.
When hold percentages approach and sometimes exceed 50%, there's not much room for profit for those involved in hedging bets.

It will be great if they open things up for others other than William hill. Not sure they will though

I’m good friends with a manager there.. known him since I was 10... he said June/July. Where did you see November?

WPRI first reported no later than Nov so maybe June/July is more realistic..fingers crossed..I live in Ct so a quick trip to the border would be great rather than driving to Lincoln..

3 locations:
There are 4 or 5 in the new sportsbook bar on the 2nd level where the tables are.
There are 6+ in the grandstand 2nd floor where the race book area is.
There are 3 more on the 3rd floor

Ah okay... my friend said June July a couple weeks ago. I’ll check with him again sometime this week.
I live in mass but Lincoln is about 15 minutes from me. I literally stop on my way to work and/or on my way home from work everyday.
Thanks will check it out.

I don’t know if I should post this, but there are very interesting odds up right now for the CIT tournament futures on the kiosk:
It’s a 7 team field: the field bet consists of njit, and Bakersfield.... neither of which would be favorited, and Bakersfield would be the biggest longshot of them all.
Now, if William hill wasn’t the only book in town at the moment, I would have hit this for a lot of money. But since options are limited and I don’t want to get banned, I won’t.
I did go small on Marshall at 10/1 (already in the semis) and Green Bay at 25/1, who are a favorite at home tomorrow. But they could take a big loss if anyone wanted to pound this

Good catch.
Marshall and UL Monroe are about 3 points better than the rest, then GB is 1 point better than the rest who are all within 2 pts of each other.
Roughly eyeballing it, I'd try to finish with 3 units on Marshall at 10/1 for every GB unit at 25/1, maybe with 0.5 unit on ULM and then hedge (if the hedge is +ev) in the semis depending on the matchups.

It wasn’t as much an advantage as it was a mistake
I don’t think they ever updated the odds after they initially put them out
I went to add some on ulm and a little more on Marshall today, but it wasn’t up anymore today.
But I’m in line to win a little more than a $1000 if Green Bay or Marshall win.
Ulm losing tonight really helps.
Marshall at home will be:
-5ish vs Green Bay
-4ish vs hampton
-8.5/9 vs bakersfield
-6ish vs Texas southern
Since they were a top 3 seed, I THINK they will have home court in both games, but who knows with the way they reseed

Updated odds would be around even money for Marshall to win it.
