Will the Browns lose by fewer than two touchdowns? Hey, can the Buckeyes really beat Rutgers by more than 35? The Cavs look terrible, but wouldn't you put money on LeBron to somehow carry them to a win?

Lots of us in Ohio know something about sports gambling. At least we think we do, until the sure prediction we had for a game goes terribly wrong. But not many of us know a lot.

Rich Exner here at cleveland.com has been doing a great job providing details about what might happen in Ohio after Monday's Supreme Court decision made legal sports gambling possible in every state.

But there's a lot of ground to cover. So Doug Lesmerises spoke with Brett Smiley, the editor in chief of sportshandle.com to discuss every possibility about sports betting in Ohio. Smiley has a background in journalism and law, so he has a pretty good grasp on how all this might work.

How will the sports world change for fans and teams?

What is the best way to implement sports betting in Ohio?

Will we see more or fewer gambling scandals?

How will the betting lines be set?

How much will loyalty to hometown teams affect lines, and will professional gamblers capitalize if lines are different from state to state?

How much will television broadcasts talk about gambling now?

Should there be limits on gambling on in-state college games?

And will fans boo their hometown teams in their own stadiums if they are winning, but not covering the spread?

Smiley and Lesmerises talked about all that and more on the latest Takes By The Lake from cleveland.com.
