Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine says he regrets his initial support for legalizing sports betting. In an Associated Press interview, the second-term Republican said he now wishes he hadn’t signed the 2021 law that brought the industry’s exorbitant advertising spending to his state. As two pitchers for the Cleveland Guardians became ensnared in a betting-related criminal probe, DeWine emerged as a key player in a deal announced this month between Major League Baseball and its authorized gaming operators to cap prop bets on individual pitches at $200. DeWine would prefer a ban, worrying micro bets threaten the integrity of the game.
