Dueling Sports Gambling Ballot Measures Have Tribes, Sportsbooks Spending Big on Misleading Ads

Dueling sports gambling ballot measures are on the November ballot. They are Props 26 and 27. The most money is being pumped into the “Yes on 27” campaign. It's raising more money than the previous most successful one, Prop 22 in 2020. Both sides are using misleading ads. The No on 26 campaign claims that the measure would turn every cell phone, laptop, tablet and video game console into a gambling device. There are more than 50 tribes that oppose it. California can only place bets on Fantasy sports leagues on DraftKings and FanDelphia.
