The number of states allowing sports betting is poised to expand.
Governors in Montana and Iowa are considering measures that would allow residents to wager on sports, while Indiana lawmakers are scheduled to approve their own version as early as Wednesday.
Gambling expert Chris Grove had expected 10 to 12 states to legalize sports betting this year. Now, he said, it looks more like eight. An Associated Press analysis of legislation introduced nationwide found that at least 29 states have considered legalizing sports betting this year. Measures have died in some states, including Kentucky and Maryland, and seem unlikely to go anywhere in others.
"A guy who wants to bet on the Chicago Cubs isn't a Democrat or a Republican, he's just a Cubs fan," said Montana Democratic state Rep. Ryan Lynch, who sponsored one of the proposals. "If there was something in here right now that said I could bet $5 on a Patriots game, I would do that," the 33-year-old said.
Even after a strong March, four of the six states with newly legal state-sanctioned sports betting still lag well behind their own revenue expectations , according to an AP analysis of state fiscal reports.
