As noted, its not just ESPN… “Last week, the league announced agreements with FOX Bet, BetMGM, PointsBet, and WynnBET to join Caesar’s Entertainment, DraftKings and FanDuel as approved sports book operators for the 2021 season. Just about the only unapproved sports book left is the one Uncle Junior ran out of the back of his candy store in 1962.
The new agreement means more choices for wagerers and even more visible gambling advertisements and pregame programming for everyone else. TV analysts may not openly comment on the point spread just yet, but that is likely to happen sometime before Al Michaels retires.” https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/08/sports/nfl-rule-changes.html?referringSource=articleShare On Fri, 27 Aug 2021 at 2:23 PM Kevin M. <[email protected]> wrote: > They are apparently talking about a multi-billion dollar partnership with > DraftKings, et al.
