🚨New Video Alert
It seems every major media outlet is trying to convince the world that anyone who bets on sports has a gambling problem.
It's time to talk back.😤
Full video in the replies.
Threatening the manager of an MLB team and winning effectively get the same punishment in Ohio.

Are prediction markets a place where rec bettors are lambs to the slaughter?
@DeanSisun of @ProphetX doesn't think so.
@capjack2000 sat down with Sisun, @a_kane47 of @sporttrade_app, @irishro of @TeamMatchbook, @BigBuckHunterrr of @magtradingHQ and @samschwartz71 of The PM Pulse for an in-depth conversation about how they got to where they are, what the journey to building prediction markets has been like, and where we're headed.

🚨 Unabated NBA Is Back for 2026-27 🚨
Get the fastest NBA news.
We tracked about 11,000 alerts last year against a popular news service and Unabated was first to report over 86% of the time.
That means you're getting to lines before the books respond.
Why would WINNING bettors OPPOSE Responsible Gaming initiatives??? 🤔
Because operators can use them as a SHIELD for keeping out winning bettors.🛡️
Wait until you get a load of this⤵️
This is the RG control panel of a winning user at @HardRockBet in NJ who contacted me:
This is in NJ. A state which was once the gold standard for consumer protection in regulated gambling.
However, ever since the state closed down much of the DGE, the operators are running amok. 😒

20 year anniversary of the Unlawful Internet Gaming Act (UIGEA) becoming law in US - impact summarized best by @capjack2000 from last year.
This video was very well done. 👏
If you read the @propublica story from @JakePearsonProP, consider this a behind-the-scenes documentary. Great job by all involved, especially @roundrobin42!

One of my favorite videos that @UnabatedSports has ever done.
While the downsides of sports betting are very real and should not be ignored, there is a lot of entertainment value and relationships that stem from responsibly utilizing the industry.
I have made tons of friends, both virtually and in my real life, through both micro- and macro-level discussions on sports betting strategies, experiences, and just plain sweating out a game together.
It's not about downplaying the consequences and risks of problem gambling. It's about seeing the good that can also come from it, whether you are a recreational bettor or a sharp bettor.
The movement on PHI/JAX this week shows how powerful cluster injuries are. A starting RB is worth about 1-1.5 pts, but two RB's out is more impactful. An OL maybe worth a point, but multiple OL is huge.
From -3.5 to -7.5 is a big jump but the 8 & 9 don't offer much resistance either.
The @MasseyPeabody ratings for Week 5 are up and it's still the NFC West's world.
But the big story of the week is the Jags-Eagles game, with JAX opening -3.5 at Circa and now all the way out to -7.5.
Jags are at 5.99 in the ratings and Philly is at -0.58. In London, that gives a number of Jacksonville -6.57. Has the market overcorrected?

Excellent reporting @GunjanJS 👏
These small “garage band”-type market makers are precisely the sort of participants that are *completely banned* in the state regulated online sportsbook market.
Why?
- they’re trading electronically (not contemplated by state regs)
- they often form small companies to trade (corporate betting is expressly prohibited by states)
