州清除超级碗硬币抛弃

专员希尔（Hill）而不是体育博彩（Sports Books）发起了变更，后者以3-2获胜

The Massachusetts Gaming Commission on Thursday voted 3-2 to allow sports betting companies to offer wagers on one of the very first actions to take place at this Sunday's Super Bowl, the opening coin toss.

马萨诸塞州游戏委员会周四以3-2投票，允许体育博彩公司为在本周日的超级碗比赛（开幕式硬币抛弃）举行的首批行动之一提供赌注。

Though commissioners said none of the sportsbooks operating in Massachusetts has asked for the ability to offer coin toss bets, the split vote gives operators the authority to let bettors wager on the result of the coin toss (heads or tails), the coin toss winner (Kansas City Chiefs or Philadelphia Eagles), whether the coin toss winner will win the game, and whether the visiting team correctly calls the coin toss.

尽管专员表示，在马萨诸塞州运营的所有体育书都没有要求提供硬币投注的能力，但分裂投票使运营商有权让Bettors Wager以硬币折腾（头或尾巴）为结果，这是硬币折腾的冠军（堪萨斯城酋长还是费城老鹰队），无论硬币折腾的获胜者是否都会赢得比赛，以及来访的团队是否正确地击败了硬币。

At around 1:30 p.m., Boston-based DraftKings was already accepting wagers on three of the four coin toss-related situations that the commission authorized. A $1 bet on the coin flip outcome could return $2 for bettors who pick correctly.

在下午1:30左右，总部位于波士顿的Draftkings已经接受了委员会授权的四个与硬币折腾相关情况中的三个情况下的赌注。对于正确选择的投注者，售价1美元的赌注可能会返回2美元。

"This was an issue that we actually took up a year ago, and on a 3-2 vote it was decided that we would not allow these Super Bowl prop wagers. I think after witnessing last year's coin toss, and to my knowledge -- and please correct me if I'm wrong -- there was no problem with betting integrity that took place. I looked in all the jurisdictions and I Googled as many news articles as I could to see if any betting integrity [issues] took place," Commissioner Brad Hill, who made the motion Thursday, said. "There are other prop bets, like the Gatorade color over the coach, the national anthem length, and we, of course, decided we didn't want to go that far. But I think the coin toss is something we should be revisiting."

“这是我们一年前实际遇到的一个问题，在3-2票的投票中，我们决定不允许这些超级碗道具的赌注。我认为，在见证了去年的硬币折腾之后，据我所知 - 据我所知 - 如果我错了，请纠正我 - 我在所有司法管辖区都没有赌注的完整性。 “周四提出动议的专员布拉德·希尔（Brad Hill）说。 “还有其他道具投注，例如教练的佳得乐颜色，国歌的长度，我们当然决定我们不想走那么远。但是我认为，抛售硬币是我们应该重新审视的东西。 “

Commissioners Eileen O'Brien and Nakisha Skinner, both of whom were opposed to allowing coin flip betting a year ago, dissented again Thursday. Skinner raised issues with the process by which Hill brought the idea forward to be added to the catalog of events that can be bet on absent a request from a sportsbook. O'Brien voiced more policy-focused objections, including that no operator had made the request.

专员艾琳·奥布莱恩（Eileen O'Brien）和纳基沙·斯金纳（Nakisha Skinner）都反对一年前允许硬币翻转赌注，并在周四再次反对。斯金纳（Skinner）提出了希尔（Hill）将这个想法前进的过程添加到事件目录中的过程中，这些事件可能会押注，而这些事件缺乏体育书的请求。奥布莱恩（O'Brien）提出了更多以政策为中心的反对意见，包括没有运营商提出要求。

"The other part of the reason is we've had a number of non-compliance events where they're not even sure what's properly in the catalog or not. I'm not exactly for adding more, especially when they haven't asked for it. Nor am I particularly convinced it's going to drive up revenue, or am I concerned it's going to go into the black market, or people crossing the [state] line. When you talk to people in [responsible gambling] circles, most of the people going back into illegal markets are people being limited, not people on a small bet like this."

“另一部分原因是我们有许多违规事件，他们甚至不确定目录中的内容是否正确。我并不是为了添加更多内容为此。回到非法市场的人们中，人们有限，而不是这样的小赌注。”

Commissioner Paul Brodeur, who has joined the commission since last year's vote on the topic, said he was in favor of allowing bets on the coin toss because "I think it is something that that a certain segment of the market is looking for."

自去年对该主题的投票以来，他一直在委员会加入该委员会的专员说，他赞成允许投注硬币，因为“我认为这是市场的某些部分正在寻找的东西。”

"My sense is that it is very safe, not something that can be gamed," he said.

他说：“我的感觉是，这是非常安全的，而不是可以参加的事情。”

Chairman Jordan Maynard was also supportive of the idea "because I do think people are betting on that coin toss."

乔丹·梅纳德（Jordan Maynard）董事长也支持这个想法：“因为我确实认为人们正在赌注。”

Hill said he was compelled to bring the idea up at Thursday's commission meeting after being heckled while working his weekend job as a basketball referee.

希尔说，他在周末担任篮球裁判的周末工作时被heck乱后，被迫在周四的委员会会议上提出这个想法。

"Usually when you're running up and down the court, you're getting yelled at because you made a bad call. Well, a couple of weeks ago, I was running up and down the court and someone yelled from the stands, 'Are we going to be able to bet on the coin flip at the Super Bowl?' So I stopped immediately, looked right at him, and he was as serious as serious could be," Hill said. "I couldn't believe that I would be in my referee clothes and they would recognize me as a commissioner. And then only a few days later, I went to a local watering hole down in Ipswich, and I wasn't even in there five minutes, and another patron came and asked the very same question, if they would be able to bet on the coin toss."

“通常，当你在球场上上下跑来跑去时，你会大喊大叫，因为你打了一个不好的电话。好吧，几周前，我在球场上上下跑来跑去，有人从看台上大喊大叫，'我们是否可以在超级碗上赌硬币翻转？因此，我立即停下来，直视他，他就像认真的那样认真。”希尔说。 “我简直不敢相信我会穿上裁判的衣服，他们会认出我是一名专员。五分钟，另一位赞助人来问一个同样的问题，他们是否可以押注硬币。”
