Part of http://Unabated.com. However, opinions are 100% my own. Nominated to be the Commissioner of Sports Betting by @beatingthebook. As seen on @masterclass.
I guess you could call this Steam Chasing views - be sure to stick around for the typo they copied too! 🧐
NEW: Some Republicans push to undo gambling tax hike they passed in Trump's megabill House tax-writing W&M Chair @RepJasonSmith told me Wednesday it was a “mistake” by the Senate and needs to be undone. TED CRUZ wants it gone: "None of us knew about it" nbcnews.com/politics/congr…
Definitely the most quotes from actual Congressmen of any story so far. nbcnews.com/politics/congr…
I’ve long held Unabated Premium for 33% off the monthly price was too generous. We’re closing that gap, but you can grab one more year at $1588 before we do.
New AND current members can score a year of Unabated Premium at our current rate before prices increase on 8/1! 🏷️ unabated.com/pricing?utm_ca…
Sadly, not everyone can just hang out watching the screen waiting to pounce on line movement all day. But if you're working with limited time to bet, you can make the most of it by learning the most active times by league, @capjack2000 says.
Crushing blow for the “Sports Betting is Destroying Society” crowd.

The UK Gambling Commission looked at 15 million active betting accounts to find out what percentage were restricted and the results may surprise you...
Industry stakeholders "have now gotten on board" with gambling tax provision issue per @repdinatitus which is a key development. One source told Newsweek that they are "committed" to working to help her bill.
Too bad the Coffee, Sugar, & Cocoa Exchange vacated their DCM license a few years back. That would have been some sweet branding.
Polymarket has acquire a little-known exchange registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in a deal that the prediction market says will “pave the way for U.S. users to access Polymarket in the near future.”
If the alignment of events from all the major sports on the same day is a Sports Equinox, then what is today?🤔 I mean, it's also a Sports Equinox, right? But Sports Solstice sounds better. 🤷♂️
If accurate, this reporting from @arappeport at @nytimes is a damning indictment of the industry’s lobbying arm. If the gambling tax shenanigans came from nowhere and you had no time to stop it, fine. But if you knew about it months ago and did nothing? Inexcusable.
Puggy story. In the '80s at Slim's tournament in Tahoe, he was playing a really drunk guy heads up. He called Puggy, "piggy" for hours. Puggy just smiled and said"let's play another hand, son". He never got mad, eventually broke him for a lot of money. It was always about the $.
The late great Puggy Pearson had this inscribed on his RV: “I’ll play any man from any land Any game that he can name For any amount that I count… …providing I like it.” 😉
Great points from you both. @Sports__Proj just earned my follow. I was casually watching an @itsvegasmatt livestream in which he said “the new tax law will be like charging a 10% tax on every handpay.” He’s not wrong. Getting the operators to realize the effect it’ll have on…
