Not sure where your thoughts are running. That’s not an indictment as that is pretty much how I roll through life.

Brick & mortar expense vs online or that you are entertaining the affiliate deal. Let’s see.

Let’s start with a few laughs
Gary Loveman was inducted into the American Gaming Association’s Hall of Fame.
He coincidently served on the board.

Gary Loveman was repeatedly named “Best CEO” in the Gaming & Lodging Industry by Institutional Investor magazine
This was prior to Caesars filing for bankruptcy.

Brick & mortar
Sportsbooks gotta be cheaper to run than the swimming pool. The counter people are making about the same as a life guard. Televisions are cheaper than chlorine.

All you need is a chair, an ash tray and a TV. Lol.

I have heard people wonder - will Atlantic City book more Super Bowl bets than Las Vegas?
That we are even asking that question is thought provoking. The actual answer is unimportant.

What I really want to talk about is Bet365 since you set the precedent of going off topic.

This came to my attention
Bet365 NFL Early Payout Offer

Bet is settled as a winner if your team goes 14 points ahead

Applies to pre-game single bets on the Money Line market for any game up to and including Super Bowl LIII
On the Eagles Saints - badguy would have been paid in the first quarter (they snap pay when the condition is satisfied) on his ML bet when the Eagles went up 14-0 in the 1st quarter. Eagles went on to lose, of course.

NFL isn’t the only promotion.

Never paid any mind to Bet365 as I am very happy with my book. I had to take a look.


In 1967 two women were born who went on to make mind bending money in online gambling. I am becoming aroused, so bear with me.

There was Ruth Parasol of Party Poker. A fabulous story which I will go on about with the slightest provocation. Try me. Her father was “Father of the Year”, btw.

Ruth did ok. Never did time and has a net worth of ~$1b. What a girl.

Denise Coates is the Bet365 chic. Makes Ruth Parasol look like a grinder @ ~$5b. Denise paid herself a cool $250m last year. WTF.

So how do you make money prepaying bets? The answer, “it’s none of my fucking concern”. Denise is crushing it.

This isn’t Britain or Canada. This is the corrupt United States. So whilst (british) brick and mortar is protected, physical sports books don’t cost shit and in-game wagering is now online out of necessity.

I don’t know if there is a unifying point to be found in anything written above but I feel better having done that core dump.
