Remember, #BetMGM viewed 2024 as an "investment year," as it launched the industry's first nationwide digital wallet. BetMGM also introduced enhanced SGP and parlay offerings. One analyst has increased confidence in BetMGM's ability to generate long-term profitability #GamblingX

How close is the #NFL to adopting a digital 1st down line comparable to the VAR system used in intl soccer?? Roger Goodell noted on Mon that the NFL could explore various technological solutions in the future. "We want to use technology to supplement what we do with officials."

Roger Goodell dismissed claims that the #NFL favors the Chiefs in key officiating calls, describing it as a "ridiculous theory." Goodell compared the absurdity of the theory to questions he received last year on if the relationship between Kelce and Taylor Swift is "scripted."

@EricBalchunas @MrStand_Fast @BillAckman Exactly, why conduct night training missions in the nation's busiest airspace?? Go 100 miles south to a rural area. Innocent civilians are not collateral damage. There are people who fell 400 feet to their deaths...those who survived, died mins later in frigid waters. Horrific.

A little context, too, on Rozier's injury. Rozier had 5 pts, 4 rebs, and 2 assts in 10 mins. He left w a sore foot. His totals were set around 21.5 points, 4 boards and 6 assts. Rozier averaged 35.3 mpg on the season. He was on pace for the Over in rebounds, assts and made threes

Finally, @pikkitsports compiled a data breakdown of 5 Rozier betting markets from the 3/23/23 game: Assists, Pts + Assists, Pts, Made Threes, and Pts + Rebs + Assts. Of the 5, the Under was the most popular pick in just one category -- Made Threes. #GamblingX #NBA

The disconnect in the @pikkitsports data suggests that several bettors could have made 4-5 figure wagers on SGPs featuring Rozier legs. Recall, a relative of a conspirator in the Jontay case placed a $10K SGP on "Player 1s" assists, 3-pointers, and steals for an $85K payout

Despite the betting inquiry, Rozier plans to be ready for Sat's matchup against the Spurs . Rozier: "Once I get in between them lines, I can block out anything." It'll be interesting if Rozier props will be taken off the board. Rozier's status remains unchanged, Spoelstra noted.
Terry Rozier declines to address investigation, says he won't have issue focusing on basketball
