This baseball betting “partner” now generates the most important advertising revenue stream for MLB. Do they still have that anti gambler association placard in every clubhouse? Does Pete Rose’s lifetime ban extend to him betting with MLB’s official betting partner? Do they publish a line on whether that last blown call, dropped fly or gopher pitch was brought to you by MLB’s other betting partners? I am surely a stranger in a now strange land.

I imagine the 1919 Chicago White Sox staring from purgatory at the “DraftKings” logo grafted onto the pitcher’s mound in brfuddlement.

I haven't counted but there may be more sports betting adverts on tv here in Indiana than ambulance chasers.

That "make it rain" chick is everywhere.

Since everyone is quitting work, maybe we can all become professional gamblers...

A couple of weeks ago I had lunch with a guy high up in big media. He said the amount of money flowing into DraftKings and another group (I forget the name) is astounding. He said the outflows to the media/advertising is also astounding. They are trying to be the “Cokes and Pepsis” of the world. No holds barred.

If you watch the MLB playoffs you’ll see DraftKings dominates. They are running live odds, quoting payouts on exotic bets. It flies in face of everything baseball has stood for in my lifetime. It’s not like Rose putting $5000 on the Reds or $500 on Seaver. There are surely billions in this industry. $100 million in Bitcoin somewhere for a late season call up reliever to blow game seven? No, not baseball.

Pete Rose is not allowed to be in the Hall of Fame because he gambled.

Also, Major League Baseball is partners with a bookie.

I don’t think I have seen any DraftKing advts on the games, but there have been wall to wall advts for Ceasers Sports Book. Although I had heard of Ceasers, I don’t think I had ever seen an advts for them before the post season.

Exactly—baseball pushing gambling—what could possibly go wrong?

We live in the age of stupidity—just can’t fix stupid.

Be thankful -- they are some of the few commercials with white people in them.

Yes and the beauty of that is all the $$ we’ll save not having to drive a casino. It doesn’t seem like progress but you can gamble away your home from the comforts of home. They did get my nickel but they gave it to me.
