Dear sports betting app designers, please add a customization function so I can hide all the shit I will never bet on and focus only on the things I bet. I am tired of wading through cricket and cycling and darts and rugby and all that other stupid stuff to find my sports.

Someone help me. What exactly does PENN get out of this deal besides paying ESPN $1.5B to rent their brand? Does anyone really believe that PENN becomes a player? Very similar to Fanatics thinking they'll be a player by purchasing Pointsbet? Neither happens.

It is a dumb argument. But that is not the issue. Students signed contracts. They received a benefit from those contracts,education. After they received that benefit, they have decided they don’t want to repay the loans. You ordered dinner, ate it, but don’t want to pay for it.

Ok Friends let's spend a few minutes talking through the return to in-person sports betting account registration in Illinois. Inconvenient to say the least. But more than that it crushes growth and severely handicaps any book that is in the license application pipeline. ->

premade SGP test 0-16 so far. So I’ve been comparing these dog turd bets to scratchers. Might be better to compare them to lottery quick picks. Either way all three are ridiculously poor choices for bettors. Don’t do it.

I’ve been thinking about Big Lie theory and how sports betting is using it to pass bills. Its a two parter. First lie is tax rev to states. Second lie is stopping the “illegal” market. Promo deduction and loss carryover kill the 1st. Limiting bettors and shit lines kill the 2nd.

I have spent the last few days in Vegas meeting with some experienced sports book operators and bookmakers. Extremely valuable. Biggest take away is this. If states load up bills with high taxes and fees, integrity fees and data control, gamblers will stay in the black market.

I'm having fun, but this is a serious issue that regulators need to take a look at. Industry should not be creating SGPs. Bettors? No probs. Create your parlays all you want, but it really appears to me that FD has a thumb on the scale with these premade SGPs.
For some reason only thing I can keep thinking about is reading about
@SteveBrubaker
's SGP experiment in some big name media... yesterday in a Bloomberg article and today in one by the WSJ... his little experiment many have criticized or poked fun at. Good for him. 💪

BTW Most of you know I think SGPs, especially those created by or graded by OSBs are terrible for bettors, especially the new bettors who have no idea what they are doing. 20+% SGP holds tell the story. However, I did bet and win a 2 leg SGP that I created last night. Soooo...
