Despite Progress, Minnesota Sports Betting Hopes Die at Finish Line

Another year, another failed attempt to legalize Minnesota sports betting Despite purported deal between tracks, tribes, and charities, legislators could not hammer out a deal Sports betting will again be discussed in 2025 Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades….not Minnesota sports betting. Despite a last minute flurry of activity and a first-time deal between tribes, tracks, and charities, Minnesota lawmakers could not usher sports betting bill across the finish line during the final day of the state’s legislative session. Rep. Zack Stephenson (DFL-35A), the author of a sports betting bill that had the best chance at legalization this year, announced the legislation would not be approved late Sunday evening.

Fortunately for the Oilers, they will be facing a shorthanded Canucks team that’s missing leading goalscorer Brock Boeser (blood clots). Edmonton was a modest -140 favorite before the Boeser news and have shortened to -166 after it was reported that Vancouver’s 40-goal man would miss Game 7.
