Pennsylvania Sports Betting Bill Introduced, Penn State Football Popular at Sportsbooks

A Pennsylvania sports betting bill has been introduced by State Rep. Rob Matzie (D-District 16) that seeks to allow residents in the Keystone State to place financial wagers on sporting outcomes should a federal law be repealed.

James Franklin’s Penn State football team provided large payouts for fans who backed the Nittany Lions last fall, and a Pennsylvania sports betting bill has been introduced to keep those monies inside the Commonwealth.

House Bill 519 would allow the business of accepting wagers on sporting events or on the individual performance of athletes. Traditional Vegas sports betting formats including straight bets, moneylines, parlays, exchange wagering, and pools would all be authorized.

Though the company’s new property in Washington, DC, appropriately named National Harbor, brought in big money for MGM, and performance improved at the conglomerate’s 10 venues in Las Vegas and Atlantic City’s Borgata, the convention space underperformed.

Regardless of coming in well under fiscal expectations, CEO Jim Murren painted the earnings data in a rosy light.

‘The achievement of key financial and strategic milestones demonstrates our continued focus on driving profitability,’ Murren said in a release. ‘We are excited about the outlook for 2017.’

Investors on Wall Street don’t normally take the bait, and value numbers over words. Traded on the New York Stock Exchange, shares of MGM Resorts fell as much as nine percent following the financial announcement.

For the complete year, MGM generated a net income of $1.24 billion, or $1.94 per share. That’s a substantial im…
