I assume you won’t be able to bet on URI at sports books in RI, right?

The bill prohibits betting on:
…any collegiate sports or athletic event that takes place in Rhode Island or a sports contest or athletic event in which any Rhode Island college team participates, regardless of where the event takes place.

Which is fine by me. Any time I bet on a team for which I have a rooting interest, it usually ends with me losing my money. I usually do the opening rounds of the tourney in Vegas, but S16 and E8 at Wicked Good Bar sounds nice to me until the mobile apps are up and running.

Re: Legalized Sports Betting in Rhode Island
It sounds like next week for the beginning of sports betting at the RI casinos. Nothing reported locally but I heard it on WEEI this morning and the Globe has an article as well (I'm out of free clicks on that site).
