After a major Supreme Court ruling, legal sports betting has expanded from Nevada to all 50 states and Washington D.C. While many states have their own unique laws regarding online USA sports betting, there are some general rules that all operators must abide by. One of these is not hiring anyone involved with a sport who has been permanently banned from the sport for betting-related issues. This includes a player, coach, or other member of the organization in charge of that sport. In addition, any person convicted of sports betting violations is ineligible for entry into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

A sports book can accept wagers only if the money line of each bet is displayed on its betting boards and in other places where it can be seen by patrons. The money line is the odds that a team will win the game, and it may be determined by looking at the total points scored in a game or by a more complicated calculation of the probability of a particular outcome. The odds of a bet on a money line are constantly changing, so the money line displayed when you make your bet may not match the one you see when you check out the result of your bet.
