    It's officially legal in Missouri starting tomorrow, so no more trips to Illinois. I'm not sure how I feel about the ability to bet so easily from my phone. The drive to Illinois to place a physical bet was kind of sobering. Should be good for the state's coffers.

    @stlouisbrad, I can relate, we have to drive to Las Vegas to bet sports (like you, I kind of like having to travel). Every time it makes it to the ballot in Cali, the Vegas lobby pours money in w/infinite amount of advertising to defeat it.

    If you’re like me and have lost bets in insane ways (doesn’t that equate to all sports bettors :rolleyes:?), that phone won’t be too tempting.
