If places are going to allow sports betting just legalize all gambling ffs. Can’t even play online poker lmao.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that ever since major online sports betting sites and apps have become popular/major money makers, the state of officiating in professional sports has gone down the toilet.

Meh. We have it here now but I don't do it. The chances of you making bank off it are very very low. It's just a waste of your money.

In NY too, it literally changed nothing but a few people losing and winning some cash on stupid bets and making a little tax money for the state. Scratch offs/powerball and people blowing money on crypto are already happening so this has to be a money grab holdout for politicians

Me either. I never bet but just allowing the money to go elsewhere is stupid. It is already established and roadmaps for how to do it are in place. This is true for many items that this state remains in the stone-age on. I get not leading the pack but at a certain point it is just stupid and self harming when it has already become normalized and people here are doing it anyways.  

I had a friend in Ohio who used to lose hundreds of dollars on a regular basis. He always lied to his wife about where the money went.

Don't know how he got away with it but he usually did.

NC already runs a gambling state run lottery, allows FanDuel/Draftkings, etc.  It’s just politicians using a new bill to get money for filtered into things they want.

Oh yeah I love the 400 pages of small print every time politicians want to push a seemingly simple vote through. That's the full time job, not serving their communities who voted for them

I'm also in NY. The state is now the largest online sports betting market in the US with almost $8 Billion wagered.

Total NY Betting Handle $7,926,099,678
Total NY Betting Revenue $563,360,864
Total State Tax Revenue $287,314,041

like what does how much money HBCUs, county sports, etc get out of the bill…..have to do with if you are okay sports gambling.   Bills are never about the bills.

I'll play $20 in slots to kill time and feel underwhelmed but I understand the addiction signs. It's like alcohol and alcoholism, banning it doesn't work because it will still be around so might as well make it regulated and then spend the effort to help those thst can't help themselves...if they want it. Your friend had to get caught eventually or he kept it below noticeable in his finances.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
