It’s information overload everywhere, and there’s not time enough to sleep and eat and stay fully apprised of what’s happening on this crazy blue dot of ours (two out of three ain’t bad).

Here’s the weekend Sports Handle item, “Get a Grip,” recapping the week’s top stories and rounding up key stories in sports betting, gaming, and the world of sports at large. You may have missed them, and they are worth reading.

Oklahoma tribes ready to talk sports betting

Oklahoma might be among the states that legalize sports in 2019, if comments from tribal interests this week are any indication. At the Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association convention in Tulsa, a tribal representative said the state’s Indian gaming interests want sports betting and are waiting for Governor Kevin Stitt to start the conversation.

“Tribes are ready to have that discussion,” Matt Morgan, chairman of the Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association, told the Tulsa World. “The ball is in Governor Stitt’s court.”

Oklahoma has a huge tribal gaming presence — there are 38 recognized tribes in the state and 31 of those tribes have gaming compacts with the state. Those 31 tribes operate 130 gaming locations around the state, including 60 casinos. In order for these casinos to offer sports betting, the tribes must renegotiate their compacts with the state, and the state would have to agree to allow sports betting. Oklahoma tribes currently pay a percentage of revenue to the state, and Morgan told the Tulsa World that sports betting could be a key negotiating point for the state to ask the tribes for a bigger cut.

Among the states that currently offer legal sports betting, tribes in Mississippi, New York and New Mexico have sportsbooks. In most other states, sports betting is offered at commercial casinos.
