I ❤️ Philly.

@wwwagers1 So, if they sent the guy an autographed Harper jersey, is Bryce “connected” to the sportsbook? Of course not, and neither is he connected by filming a video “yo’sup?”.

“Dense”? No. “Heavyweight” yes.

You? Don’t get me started on what you are…

[Joe Brennan Jr @joebrennanjr]

FanDuel sent what amounts to a Cameo video of Bryce. Harper didn’t say anything enticing the guy to gamble., so beyond it being novel, there’s really no story there on that part.

But one person losing a stick-and-a-half in what he says was the throes of addiction certainly is.

FanDuel sent a personal message from Phillies star Bryce Harper to a customer with a gambling addiction https://t.co/gwfBz2IimQ

@DustinGouker Are you truly styling yourself as the “loudest voice” vs PMs?

[Joe Brennan Jr @joebrennanjr]

Apparently, yes. Since 1849. https://t.co/9EAV12EdTp

Well, at least some Americans had a good game.

[Jeffrey Benson @JeffreyBenson12]

A big bomb banger just came in on USA 🇺🇸 here at @CircaSports. This has been an incredible game to trade, tons of two-way action and lots of opinions ⚽️🥅🏟️

Stay in your lane, Charlie.

You’d do better to encourage athletes to adjust their social setting so that unapproved account names can’t send them DMs

I’m not blaming the athletes - I’m blaming the social platforms

Theres been some changes here, maybe a little over reactive, but there are more changes coming, imo for the better.. Hang in there, work in progress..

@capjack2000 @nikihuss209 @bet_bash Isn’t Zylbert just doing the Dunk Tank for charity event? I hope so, because I already asked how much I needed to contribute so I could just hold his head under the water.

@HenryWilliams74 @primesportsbook “Lighten up, Francis”

We had a pricing feed issue on WC props, so that may have been one of the markets affected. We wouldn’t take down a whole market because one guy hit a couple of dingers.

I am very disappointed to see this.

One should never shy away from tough questions. Always seek the opportunity to stress test your beliefs

In January 2025, Kalshi listed a four-word binary event contract on the outcome of the Super Bowl: "Will <team> win <title>?"

The contract triggered what is likely to be one of the most consequential legal fights in the history of gambling.

All four markets he cherry-picked are in decline due to digital/online media replacements

Sexy headline, but obviously zero causation due to sports betting spend*

(*Describes most of these anti-sports betting studies: shock headlines, no supporting hard data)

[David Hill @davehill77]

Still a lot less than Americans spend on alcohol - a far more devastating social ill that somehow a lot of people participate in daily and free from any shame.
