ODDS ARE YOU’VE HEARD THAT THE SANTA ANA STAR CASINO NEAR THE TOWN OF BERNALILLO IS OPENING ITS SPORTS BOOK ON TUESDAY. THIS WILL BE THE FIRST IN THE STATE, BUT OTHER CASINOS ARE LIKELY TO FOLLOW SUIT.
MICHAEL CARLYLE WITH OUR SPORTS STATION, 610 THE SPORTS ANIMAL, TELLS US THIS NEW WAY TO BET ON TEAMS REALLY DOES CHANGE THINGS UP, AND COULD BRING ABOUT A GREATER INTEREST IN SPORTS. HE SAYS IF YOU’RE LAYING MONEY DOWN ON GAMES, YOU’LL LIKELY PAY MORE ATTENTION TO WHAT’S GOING ON.
CARLYLE POINTS OUT THAT THERE WILL BE NO BETTING ON NEW MEXICO COLLEGE TEAMS SUCH AS THE LOBOS AND AGGIES. PLANS CALL FOR A SIMILAR SPORTS BOOK TO OPEN AT THE INN OF THE MOUNTAIN GODS, NEAR RUIDOSO.
