A look at four months of abject #SportsBetting misery by the public as the house ran wild from May to August, marked by big revenue gains in parlay and baseball wagering: ingame.com/sportsbooks-su… #SportsBettingX #GamblingX

@PressSec Yeah, post an op-ed from sycophant Hugh Hewitt to get your point across. Your brilliance blinds me. In reality...

Trump has the authority to strike the narco-states poisoning the US foxnews.com/opinion/mornin…

On the ground reporting here at a Columbia, Missouri, dive bar where a senior Mizzou student, who asked to remain anonymous, tells me he signed up for every sportsbook he could and "lost every bonus bet I placed"

@LindseyGrahamSC You are THE LAST person who should be offering criticism of the Holy Father. THE. LAST.

Without a credible threat of the use of military force, nothing changes in Venezuela. When it comes to Maduro, the time for talking is closing. The time for action to end this reign of terror in Venezuela is upon us. I would urge the Holy Father to be on the right side of history when it comes to ending Maduro’s reign of terror on the Venezuelan people, the United States and others throughout the region. The use of military force to evict Maduro will only be required if Maduro insists on remaining as the illegitimate leader of a narcoterrorist state. He has stolen elections, collaborates with terrorist groups like Hezbollah, sits atop a notorious drug cartel and has flooded our country with hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens. As President Trump said, when it comes to Maduro, we can do it the easy way or the hard way. I would urge the Holy Father to spend his time and energy persuading Maduro to take the easy way out -- for all. reuters.com/world/americas…

Shame there isn't a NFL draft lottery, because he definitely would've been sent to Pittsburgh.

@LalimesMartian Gonna be like playing in the old Boston Garden.

All jokes aside: 3-4 feet smaller of an ice surface at the Olympics is going to be a serious injury hazard when guys have even a fraction of a second less time to brace for impact and make decisions.

The revenue numbers suggest there's an ever-growing appetite for online casino in Michigan, and now there's one more option for players in the state: @HardRockBet, which launched both iCasino and mobile sports betting today.

The clock is ticking toward the end of 2025, but @repdinatitus isn't giving up her fight for the Fair Accounting for Income Realized from Betting Earnings Taxation Act (FAIR BET Act), which would reverse the OBBBA tax change that threatens professional gamblers.

INBOX: The #Michigan Gaming Control Board has approved @HardRockBet for mobile #SportsBetting via Island Resort & Casino (Hannahville Indian Community). It replaces SI Sportsbook, which had replaced TwinSpires in August 2022. #SportsBettingX #GamblingX

OBSERVED: #NewYork Senate Bill 5935, which would prohibit online sweepstakes games, was delivered to @GovKathyHochul. The bill, sponsored by @SenJoeAddabbo, passed in June. Hochul has 10 days to sign or veto the bill. If she does not sign it, it becomes law.

@toki_chunpa Hoping to see you guys in April when I make my way there!

Zilqy初のツアーが本日、急遽発表されました✨そして先行申し込み受付中！！！ 12月のライブに来れない方も、 全国の皆さんも是非私たちに逢いに来てくれたらとっても嬉しいです😆 首をながーーーくして待ってるよ！！！！！！ ちゅんぱ️‍🐣

Kalshi’s in-house market maker is “not profitable” and traded about $310 million on sports last month, according to one of the prediction market’s co-founders. Luana Lopes Lara — who co-founded Kalshi with Tarek Mansour — posted on X in response to a class-action lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York last week.

OBSERVED: There is a near 50-50 chance total U.S. commercial October #SportsBetting handle will reach $17 billion. Current total is $13.93B with AZ, CO, IL, and KY yet to report. All-time post-PASPA record is $16.25B established last November. #SportsBettingX #GamblingX

We told the Washington Post that this entire narrative was false yesterday. These people just fabricate anonymously sourced stories out of whole cloth. Fake News is the enemy of the people.

@alecrubin The expectation is the NYSGC would collect fees before the end of the calendar year since the licenses will be awarded before Jan. 1.

@AlTruda73 @NYSGamingComm @ResortsWorldNYC @HardRock @BallysGolfFP Chris, do you know when the $500M license fee is due? I honestly wonder where Bally’s is going to find the cash (not to mention Trump’s cut) considering how over-extended the company already is. GLPI has basically closed the teller window, and they only got $3B from Intralot.

For the @NYSGamingComm's Gaming Facility Location Board, it was straightforward. Three applicants, three paths to sustainable casino revenue in #NewYork. @ResortsWorldNYC, @HardRock, and @BallysGolfFP are one step away from being licensed: casinoreports.com/new-york-gflb-…

I have three memberships (@lovebites_jp, @HA_NA_BIE_, and @BABYMETAL_JAPAN)... and whether they charge $3 a month or $35 for a year, they are easy price points... even for overseas fans like myself.

BENCHMARK: The $2,798,667,793 in YTD state #SportsBetting tax revenue (excludes allocation to Detroit in Michigan; local PA allocation) has surpassed the full-year 2024 total of $2,796,361,794. LA, MD, NJ all increased rates; IL added per-wager tax. #SportsBettingX #GamblingX

@ChileCulpepper Very high to near-certainty levels.

@AlTruda73 What are the odds all three are awarded?

To specify... the GFLB is forwarding these applicants to the NYSGC for casino licensure.

The Gaming Floor Location Board unanimously voted this morning to forward the applications of Bally’s Bronx, Hard Rock Metropolitan Park, and Resorts World to the New York State Gaming Commission for consideration for the three downstate casino licenses available.
