🚨New Video Alert!

@mckaycoppins is right : 98% of sports bettors lose in the long-run. How do you get yourself over the bar from the 98% to the 2%? 🤔

Here's your start:

@PlusEVAnalytics New stadium will be 1000ft lower in elevation and climate controlled as a dome. It won't be a wind pass-thru like minor league parks generally are.

It'll play similar to Chase Field in PHX with the roof closed.

⚽️🏆 WORLD CUP LINES ARE LIVE! 🏆⚽️

It's all here: Fast kicking Low scoring. And ties? You bet.

World Cup is now active on the Odds Screen with 19 game markets, 24 player prop markets — including alts — futures markets, and more coming as the tournament rolls on.

I noticed World Cup has it's own emoji: 🚾

[Captain Jack Andrews @capjack2000]

@robpizzola @goldenpants013 My impersonators tend to use dark-skinned emojis and sound nothing like me. I'm almost offended they didn't do more research. 😐

[Captain Jack Andrews @capjack2000]

@BlondiePredicts I can't help it that you're too ignorant to get the joke reference.

But I've attended SBC many times. Yes, your company name is listed, yes their state is listed. No, they aren't taking the time to read your company name.

No, you're not special.

[Captain Jack Andrews @capjack2000]

Things that didn't happen for $200.

There are no "prediction markets badge." It's "Affiliate" or "Operator" and trust me, the gaming commission people aren't on the exhibit hall floor. 🙄

[Aggie @BlondiePredicts]

Walking around SBC with a prediction markets badge and getting dirty looks from people wearing gaming commission badges.

This is objectively hilarious

@TennisWagerer SIG has been operating in Europe for nearly a decade. I'm not saying they're sharp, but they've been swimming with the syndicates for a while now.

[Captain Jack Andrews @capjack2000]

@FibboKing @UnabatedSports Round it. If you’re arbitrage approach comes down to the penny or even the dollar, you’re doing it wrong.

[Captain Jack Andrews @capjack2000]

@LisaLi561 - Hassling winners
- Locking accounts for KYC/AML and taking months to unlock
- Weeks to reply to customer service emails

At best, things are "falling through the cracks." At worst, the internal fissure is swallowing them up.

Would not be surprised to see them go dark.

[Captain Jack Andrews @capjack2000]

I get a lot of disputes sent to me regarding regulated operators. I rarely take them to Twitter as most are misunderstandings or they're resolvable offline.

Been hearing troubling things about Playstar Casino which is a regulated iCasino in NJ. 😬

I'd stay away.

[Captain Jack Andrews @capjack2000]

@d_feustel @rxgamble I've done it. 😉 It's not defiant trespassing if you feign ignorance that you didn't realize it was the same property chain.

I was paid and then given the opportunity to leave.

[Captain Jack Andrews @capjack2000]

@rxgamble @d_feustel I should clarify that if you are involuntarily excluded, it's not the same thing. In that case, you are entitled to the money (still can't ask for losses back though).

Forfeited winnings go to the state.

[Captain Jack Andrews @capjack2000]

@d_feustel @rxgamble It is on the paperwork and made very clear that any winnings will be confiscated and no losses will be reimbursed. #NegativeFreeroll

Sporttrade's @a_kane47 on prediction markets vs state sportsbooks with the carnival game analogy.

This issue is way more complex than "if it quacks like a duck, it's a duck."

Great interview from @SteveRuddock

@vegasmurray Meth.

[Captain Jack Andrews @capjack2000]

@BrianHooper__ @mattkalish The point of regulation was to eliminate or at least decrease the grey/black.

It didn’t work.

Offshore, DFS 2.0, sweeps, prediction markets - they’re the rotating cast of regulated’s bogeymen. They all exist because regulators fall short.

[Captain Jack Andrews @capjack2000]

Kalish’s view of the sports betting industry.

[Matt Kalish @mattkalish]

@roarinprops @Kalshi It’s the most competitive industry in the world brother

[Captain Jack Andrews @capjack2000]

@mattkalish The regulated side is not hyper competitive. It’s nearly an oligopoly.

The grey/black market exists because regulated sports betting failed so spectacularly. States made a worse product than what the people demand - so they went elsewhere.

[Captain Jack Andrews @capjack2000]

@mattkalish You’re not communicating honestly if you’re claiming sports betting is the most competitive industry.

Literally barriers to entry created to thwart competition.
