Release the Epstein files... I don’t care about big F-troop bust of players ambling over a kids game.

For crying out loud, sports betting is so huge iand t is not a distraction. Must of us can chew gum and walk at the same time.

Sports betting and throwing games has always been around. Except now, you will be seeing more pass interference at crucial points and more fumbling in the pile.

I think it was a playoff game involving the Saints. The back took the ball and ran through a seemingly solid wall of players. They kept showing a slow motion replay of the run; he did run through players but each defender extended their hands and kept them parallel to his body and he slipped on through. Anybody that has ever tackled a player knows you don’t keep your fingers outstretched, you grasped with closing fingers.

14 Billion... LOL. Add in illegal gambling and you can times that by 10.

Shohei Ohtani stuck out twice last night... I wonder what the over and under on that outcome was... Then I wonder... How much did Ohtani bet on it?

The casino/betting/polymarket money is needed for liquidity with the digital financial system. It will take to long to get hard assets tokenized to get up to speed and get people using that liquidity.

If you bet on sports you will get what you deserve, be it good or bad.

Whether it is college or professional, sports betting will ruin the sport. The current case is just the tip of the ice berg.

Mike Florio and Michael Holley react to the FBI’s arrests of NBA figures in a gambling investigation and explain why the NFL should be concerned about a similar issue.

It's just more open now.

It was always gambling that made professional sports teams profitable businesses, even if the teams did not partake directly of gambling money.

Maybe not so much baseball, but the NFL and NBA absolutely from day one.
