The former governor of Texas is once again urging Texas to legalize sports betting.
He calculated in a video that Texans bet $8.7 billion on offshore websites, a sum that some industry watchers and analysts consider to be high.

Similarly, that state is the neighbor of Texas with the most open, regulated, and competitive sportsbook environment; however, due to the size of the Lone Star state, most Texans find it inconvenient to travel across the border merely to wager on sports.
