Big-time sports gambling safe bet to hit California soon

Two of this fall's seven California ballot propositions are about gambling. Propositions 26 and 27 aim to legalize sports betting. It's unclear what would happen if both initiatives pass. More than five dozen casino tribes are backing Prop. 26. Prop 27 is backed by online giants like FanDuel, DraftKings and BetMGM. If both propositions pass, there will be a legal battle. The previous legal battles involving property tax limits and the rival Prop 10 were settled in favor of the previous one. In that case, the earlier one passed.

They say money can't buy you happiness - and that was likely true Tuesday for the proponents of two dueling initiatives on California's Nov. 8 ballot to legalize sports betting.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KRON) - Proponents of legalizing sports gambling have poured more money into this year's California proposition campaigns than any other proposition in the state's history.
