Lots Of Money Is Being Spent On California's Two Sports Betting Propositions

Summarized by: Live Sports Direct
 

There are two propositions on the California ballot regarding sports betting. Proposition 26 would let people wager on sporting events in person at retail locations, casinos operated by tribes and the state's four licensed horse racing tracks. Prop 27 would change state law to allow online sports gambling for adults over the internet and on phones or other mobile devices. Sports gambling is now legal in 31 states and D.C. and it's unclear if Californians want legalized sports betting. Major League Baseball is backing Proposition 27.
