Colorado Moves Toward Legal Sports Book

Colorado is moving closer to legalize sports betting according to House Majority Leader Alex Garnett. He said the plan includes mobile wagering, commenting “Nobody does this in person anymore. This is all done on your phone.”

Colorado House Majority Leader Alex Garnett predicted last week that the legislature would move soon to legalize sports betting. He said lawmakers are working on a plan.

He told KRDO news that the bill would include mobile sports book. “Nobody does this in person anymore. This is all done on your phone,” he said. “It could be right off your phone, let’s say while you’re sitting at the bar.”

The bill would actually refer the decision to the voters. Garnett is working to put the measure on the November ballot.
