Illegal offshore casinos connected to bad countries are growing- no taxes collected and no regs. Arkansas has had horses on phone since โ€˜14 and sports since โ€˜22. Changing rule to allow games of chance on phone + law enforcement displaces bad guys and raises a lot of new tax

So last night we paid a buncha bets we didnโ€™t have to. Voided (refunded) a bunch of money we could have kept. Since we donโ€™t yet have the okay on 50/50 rollingโ€ฆ โ€ฆmaybe consider taking some of that chunk we chose to pay out on Arkansas/UAPB and give it to @ArkansasEdgeNIL

Razorback fans deserve to know the truth. Saracen has built a product we could have live for football season that would generate program-changing sums of money for NIL. I worked in politics and have been respectful and quiet. But todayโ€™s lies about NIL money needs are too much.

Ok. So- was the โ€œUA doesnโ€™t need NIL moneyโ€ because of the pending $500k from Oaklawn? Saracen has proposed an ongoing stream of revenue that will throw off millions. And not just to the UA, but the other schools as well. The $500k is great- but will not even cover 1 month

Problem: @AmericanGaming estimates illegal gambling in AR at $5 billion a year. We know the offshore guys online are bad folks. Solution: Michiganโ€™s successful model of authorizing casinos to replace bad actors + enforcement kicks ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ out Bonus: NIL $$ Itโ€™s this simple. #arpx

Question I was asked repeatedly by the press today- how much can an online 50/50 raise? We can look to Alberta, 4.3M people. They run 50/50 drawings in province only. Arkansas is 3M people. 50/50 would be in state only. Checks to winner same as check to cause (here, NIL)

What can a 50/50 drawing do? Alberta has 4.3M people. They do online 50/50. Take a look at these winnings. Remember, in 50/50, the winner gets the same as would the cause, in this case the NIL. Arkansas has 3M people. Even if we did half or a quarter of these numbers- wow.
