Laconia to vote on allowing sports betting

If NH-Lottery, sports betting, gets passed in the City of Laconia elections on Tuesday, Nov 5 by the Laconia voters ..... does that mean that sometime in the not-too-far future there will be one or more retail locations in Laconia where it will be possible to bet say ..... five dollars ..... on a professional men's or women's tennis match held in a tournament like at Wimbledon ..... and do it in Laconia, NH ..... as is possible to do in London, England?

........ no way ..... will never-ever happen here ....... and, that's a bet????

Something tells me that betting on tennis in Laconia would quickly become more popular than hitting tennis in Laconia ... because the Laconia courts do not have any hitting back boards, yet.

October 29, 2019 ...... http://www.casino.org/news/nh-lotter...sports-betting .... Hellooooo Massachusetts ........ Welcome to New Hampshire - the betting state! ....... "the first bet could be placed by January." .... click on the blue links to Gov Chris Sununu ....... and ...... New Hampshire's sports betting law

As far as I know, Walmart in NH, with 30-big stores all across this small state, does not sell any NH lottery tickets including no scratch tickets ..... hurray for Walmart! .... another good reason to go to Walmart along with their $1.16 small brown bag of seasoned, hot, ready to eat, baked potato wedges! ....

All you can lose is your money ...

.... so, how about a sports betting venue when you step inside a Laconia-Cumberland Gas, or a Laconia- Irving Gas .....and you can honestly say 'that will be $10-gas on pump #2 ..... and $10 on Serena Williams to beat Simona Halep!'

..........

"Brick-and-mortar sports books will be limited to up to ten locations statewide." is what it says in the Sept 23, 2019 linked article in Casino.org, via the above blue link, which says to me that sports betting in NH will not be happening at the local Laconia Irving or Cumberland gas that sells lottery tickets, but will happen at up to ten sports book locations across the state, plus on-line with the NH Lottery.

Who knows, but just maybe Laconia will win big with one of the ten sports book locations actually getting situated somewhere in Laconia. Like, why not! Laconia is centrally located in NH, and a sports book state outlet in Laconia could be a winning fit ... a precursor to a gambling casino getting built on the vacant 6-acre lot, down the hill next to the Weirs Cumberland gas station. Come to Laconia and win big!

To make that happen, sports book betting in Laconia has to get voted yes in next Tuesday's Laconia election.

If the Laconia voters say yes, and one of the ten State of NH 'brick-and-mortar' sports book locations opens in Laconia ...... then, what's the cut for Laconia ..... what does Laconia get? The State of NH definitely has a terrible recent history for not helping its local towns by not sharing its' state money with the towns.

What's a good name for these 'up to ten locations, state wide' ....... how's about calling them a 'State of NH roadhouse' ..... and, does Laconia want to have its very own 'state roadhouse' for placing sport bets?
