Another study with eye-catching headline, but twists the data to attempt to support a narrative. Thankfully @jeffedelstein isn't falling for it, and shared his thoughts in this article. Give it a read if you are interested in facts, not fictions. https://t.co/O2Gd4rZlCi
In the midst of massive news week in gambling industry M&A, @DCat7 of Discerning Capital joins me on LOW ROLLERS to analyze the Fertitta-Caesars bid, the Diller-MGM bid, what's next, what it means for Vegas, how prediction markets are shaking up valuation/investment, and more.
I also go meta by sharing a couple of gambling podcast recommendations, and I tell the tale of a chip-and-a-chair-style 500x spin-up in the online casino streets: https://t.co/mb5VJMWwXR
A thing I’ll always love about baseball, check out the ump towards the end of the video just making up a random mess on home plate he has to “clean” to let the fans/ Sanchez enjoy the moment. Always appreciated stuff like that a lot.
A chain reaction of personnel moves to report in the lottery world: Khalid Jones steps down as executive director of the Virginia Lottery, Jones named CEO of Allen's North American division, and Kevin Hall reappointed by Virginia Lottery to replace Jones.
@SmelOdiesOG I know he'd been feeling this way for a little while — it was the right decision for him. I'll miss his writing on boxing, of course, but good for him for throwing in the towel (aside from his podcast with Margaret) once he felt his heart wasn't in it anymore.
Resorts World NYC agreed to pay massive 56% and 30% tax rates on slots and table games, respectively. But did it agree to pay more than $150M annually in horseracing subsidies on top of that, all by itself? That question is at the center of a dispute in New York state.
Time for my annual recommendation that the daily PokerGO Podcast with @Donnie_Peters is the perfect way to keep up with the WSOP. Not a paid advertisement. Just genuine praise as I try to half-follow the action from a distance. (I do miss @Tim__Duckworth though.)
Special PokerGO Podcast drop!
@Donnie_Peters catches up with @JeffPlatt to talk all about the new era for the WSOP, the 2026 coverage plans, and more.

A couple of weeks ago, I saw an analyst from JP Morgan predicting if Fertitta-Caesars deal became reality, a flood of other casino sales would follow. And so it begins ...
The massive casino M&A news keeps coming. Mere days after Fertitta Entertainment announced it was buying Caesars Entertainment for $17.6 billion, Barry Diller’s People Inc. is preparing a deal to buy MGM Resorts for $18 billion.
I'm about halfway thru this podcast — really interesting conversation. (Far more entertaining than Mann's absolute mess of a movie, in which he did the impossible and made the story of Muhammad Ali boring.)
Will Smith was Oscar nominated for his portrayal of Muhammad Ali in Michael Mann's 2001 biopic. A deserved accolade?
Dr Vincent M. Gaine discuss this and a lot more on the latest episode of the @boxingmoviepod.

How infuriating would it be to have money on Sinner's opponent at like +5000 or whatever and see the tournament staff stepping in and breaking rules to try and keep him from losing?
I've needed to write this piece for a while. It is about my colleague, my friend, Thomas Gerbasi. I hope you enjoy it. I miss him.
