I think we need to have a transparent, competitive process to allow private companies to compete for sports betting operations.  Malloy may be calling the legislators back this week for a special session to address it (the legislative session ended May 9).  If CT Lotto and the casinos are the only people involved they will likely bungle it.  While it should be allowed at Foxwoods and Mohegan, they should not be granted sole/monopolistic ownership.  I think it needs to be a combination of the casinos, OTB's and places like Bobby V's, and that they should also have apps, so that we don't have to drive somewhere just to place a wager.  I really hope they get people who understand what bettors want and need involved.  If we end up getting taxed on winnings of any size (minus losses obviously), or getting lines with vigs higher than -110, the black market will thrive.  I also hope we don't get 1099's for winnings below at least 5K, as is the case for poker tournament winnings at the Woods/Sun.
