Let's start off with a state in the South, Georgia.
00:06
Hey, look at here, maybe a possibility, maybe a possibility that sports betting comes to
00:12
Georgia in the next year or so.
00:13
I mean, yeah, this is, again, something you and I talk about all the time the past couple
00:18
of years is because Georgia has been one of the states that seems like it could get it
00:22
done.
00:23
Of course, they run into issues every year that kind of break it up and it doesn't get
00:26
done.
00:28
But earlier this month, that PrizePix, the daily fantasy sports company that offers a
00:33
suite of Pick'em products, opened a new, they hadn't opened it, it was a ribbon cutting
00:37
for their new headquarters in Atlanta.
00:39
And Governor Brian Kemp showed up and he said, you know what, I've been neutral on sports
00:44
betting.
00:45
I remain that way.
00:46
That's my, you know, I'm paraphrasing, of course, but this is, you know, I'm going to
00:50
stay neutral.
00:51
However, if you're going to do it, let's put this money to good use and kind of outline
00:57
some things like K through 12 education and, you know, other uses like that.
01:02
So it's more of, it's not necessarily an endorsement by him for sure, because he says he's still
01:07
neutral, but it is an indication that he is certainly open to the discussion and we'll
01:13
see where it goes.
01:14
Last year, there was a great bipartisan collaboration to get a bill in the Senate going.
01:20
It eventually fell apart because there were different factions that said, you know, we
01:24
need a constitutional amendment, which requires way more votes to pass.
01:28
And so it fell apart.
01:30
This year, the senators seem to be kind of putting it in the House's court.
01:35
If the House wants to do it, then they'll take it up when it gets over.
01:39
So kind of punting it from that point of view.
01:42
But I expect something in the House to happen and yeah, so the governor neutral, but sees
01:46
positives and, you know, that comes on the heels of an op-ed we saw from a sponsor earlier
01:51
this month, or it might've been last month, but that said, you know, hey, the voters that
01:56
turned it from a Democrat state in 2020 in the presidential election and turned it to
02:00
a Republican state in 2024, that's the demographics that love sports betting.
02:06
Let's give them sports betting.
02:07
So it's going to be a fun, fun 2025 legislative session in Georgia.
