Nevada passes a law allowing a Sports Betting based Invesment Fund to take people's investment dollars and give them to a 'portfolio manager' who will then use the funds to place bets at Nevada sports books. This state legislation is the enabling law to allow a company called Better Investments, which plans to open up offices around the country to funnel money to Reno to be invested.

"we need to get people to understand that this is not gambling, it is an investment"

- Matt Stuart, founder of Better Investments
