DraftKings at Wrigley. Cost $10m license fee. First 8 months of operations (March-October) sports wagering revenue? $745K. I wonder if the food and beverage is breaking even.

- 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.
- Ya know how the industry and the affiliates harangue “offshore” companies not paying winners and use that as a way to pass bills? This is @betmgm. In Detroit. AND, their problem gaming efforts ain’t working if they let the lady play 5 days straight.
- Replying to @MazzNYCThis just keeps getting better and better. (Not bettor and bettor.)
- Replying to @MsKellyMHayesIt 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.
- Replying to @GovAndyBeshearGovernor. $68 million is what left the pockets of people in Kentucky. It’s not revenue to the state. It’s not going to programs helping people.
- 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. ->
- Now we have a DFS war brewing for really no other reason than greed. I have worked in gambling for 25 years. I doubt there is a more greedy bunch than gambling companies (maybe drug companies). The hypocrisy of DK/FD attacking Underdog and PrizePicks for working gray is unreal.->
- Shout out to @mjzalewski for all the work he did on the sports betting part of SB690. Really good guy. Put in the time. Took bunch of shit doing it. And all you Max Headrooms ripping the bill because it isn't your utopian ideal, try passing a gambling bill in Illinois and STFU.
- Byrne, you know you’re my fave, but they ate the food. What are we teaching our children? What’s next? Why do I have to pay my car payment? My mortgage? The cable bill? The babysitter? Responsibility is a value that we deny our youth with actions like these.
- I do not like this ad. Really? Is Bryson betting on golf @PGATOUR? Control your fucking selves. This is on your website.
- Yesterday I bet a parlay. Today? I will not bet parlays. I will not bet parlays. I will not bet parlays. I will not bet parlays. I will not bet parlays. I will not bet parlays. I will not bet parlays. I will not bet parlays. I will not bet parlays. I will not bet parlays
- Welp. This Geocomply jazz needs a big ass investigation. What the fuck are they doing with individuals information. They’re supposed to identify if a mobile device is in a legal market. That’s fucking it.
