Those things last about 5 years which means that for every 1,000 people in the stands, 200 will be buying a new washer/dryer that year. With an average purchase price of $1,000 per set, that’s $200,000 in revenue per game. Biggest no brainer ever, right? Oh no, wait. That’s actually a terrible idea because they’ll probably buy them at WalMart. But at least it’s a better idea than in stadium gambling on lacrosse!Wheels wrote: ↑Sat Aug 17, 2019 12:35 amNot if the betting occurs in a geo-fenced stadium so that the wagers can only be placed in the stadium. The technology is already there to do this. The apps exist. Some states already allow online/app-based gambling. The gambling will add to the "entertainment" of going to a live game. This will all happen and probably in the not too distant future. It won't be for everyone, but it will probably increase attendance because it's something you won't be able to get from home while watching TV or streaming on your computer.flyerfan17 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 16, 2019 9:09 pm Most people who gamble don't need to go to the game to do it, gambling will never put people in seats at lacrosse games
Again, I'd be surprised if Rabill and his crew weren't already thinking about this. They have Silicon Valley-types already backing the PLL venture. These people know the tech, know the market, and know the legalities.
