A new report from data tracking website GeoComply, reveals Missourians tried to make more than 11 million sports wagers since football season opened, but couldn’t do so because it remains illegal in the state.
That figure comes as voters are already deciding on Amendment 2 which would create a legal sports betting market in the state.
The amendment’s biggest selling point is a 10% tax on that gambling revenue, much of it promised to education.
Supporters argue it’ll fill a k-12 funding deficit, but opponents are skeptical it will put any money into classrooms.
