Section 528.110 - Horse races, messenger betting prohibited - Exception (1) Any person who, either for himself or as agent or employee of another, wagers money or anything of value on a horse race run.
I already quoted the law on this matter. Did nobody read it?
It did not go unread, and was an interesting item. But where and how it fits is what people with expertise developed from a great amount and broad scope of experience working in this part of the business and attorneys who are specialized in the particular field do, since one also needs to consider it with the awareness that there are also multiple other statutes and administrative rules with the force of law comprising the complete context of the subject under which everybody actually operates. For example:https://gaming.nv.gov/modules/showdocument.aspx?documentid=2900
22.060 Acceptance of wagers
[...]
5. No book or agent or employee of a book may accept a wager from a person who the book, agent,
or employee knows or reasonably should know is a messenger bettor or is placing the wager in violation of
state or federal law.
And in the resolution of the related civil complaint of 18 counts of failing to properly supervise and control their Nevada licensed sportsbook employees, the company had to pay the largest fine in the history of Nevada gaming enforcement actions of $5.5 million, rather than having their gaming license permanently revoked. It was mostly from individuals acting as runners and communicating wagering related information for interstate domestic sports betting, but of some tangential relevance in this thread, part of that particular illegal messenger betting prosecution and enforcement action also included facilitating some money to and from some offshore accounts with Pinnacle.
So, one does have to be careful about inferring too much from only one fragment of the relevant landscape. And anyone who is not very familiar with the business would be extremely unwise to readily leap to believe and act upon ANY of what they read about this kind of subject around here from this forum if they don't first have a substantial basis for judging the reliability of the individual source, including anything they might get from this post by me, without diligently getting competent advice on this matter from other sources. Sources that are definitely known to NOT be impulsive individuals playing around on internet forums, who ARE in positions to be accountable for consequences.
Because these kinds of actions can have very real consequences for people. Sometimes up to and including years in prison (for ex. 3-1/2 of them) and millions (such as $5.5M) of bucks. And that is a damn good reason to get seriously bugged about people who tend to pop off with declarations about what they've decided to 'know' should be okay to do.

Texas head coach Shaka Smart announced on Twitter Monday that he tested positive for COVID-19, and will be in isolation from the team as it plays its first game in 10 days. The previous two games – at Iowa State last Wednesday and at TCU Saturday – were postponed because of COVID-19 issues within opponents’ programs. Texas’ last outing was an 82-67 home win vs. Kansas State Jan. 16. It failed to cover as a 16.5-point favorite but rebounded from its first Big 12 loss of the season (79-77 to then-No. 15 Texas Tech Jan. 13). Junior G
Andrew Jones’ 14.4 PPG leads four Longhorns in double figures.Oklahoma upset then-No. 9 Kansas 75-68 Saturday for a third win a row. The Sooners, who were 1-point home underdogs, trailed 52-51 with 9:29 to go but outscored the Jayhawks 24-16 down the stretch. Senior G Austin Reaves tallied 11 of his 16 points in the final 5:59. Sophomore G De’Vion Harmon finished with a game-high 22 points, including 4 3-pointers, and the Sooners shot 18-for-22 from the free-throw line. Reaves leads OU in points (15.2 per game), rebounds (5.1 RPG) and assists (5.2 APG).The rivals split their two meetings last season with the road teams prevailing as underdogs.

Oklahoma at Texas: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Texas 70, Oklahoma 67
Money line (ML)
AVOID. Texas will improve to 5-1 in its last six home games in the series, but the -200 price is too chalky.
Against the spread (ATS)
OKLAHOMA +4.5 (-110) is the worth backing, getting the nod because:
Texas will miss coach Smart.Oklahoma is 6-1 ATS in its last 7 games.Texas will be a bit rusty after 9 days off.Texas is 1-3 ATS in its last 4 games.Messenger Betting
ATS: Oklahoma 8-5 Texas 6-7
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 143.5 (-110) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1½ times your usual wager. Oklahoma’s defense yields 64.7 PPG in conference games to rank second in the Big 12; Texas is fourth at 70.2 PPG.
Is Messenger Betting Illegal
The Sooners are also 2-8 vs. the O/U in their last 10 games. Saturday’s 75-68 victory over the Jayhawks snapped a 4-game Under streak.
The Longhorns enter on a 6-game Over run, but the Sooners’ defense will be the best they’ve faced to date. Plus, only four of the Longhorns’ last 10 games have reached 144 total combined points.
O/U records: Oklahoma 5-8 Texas 8-5
