Kane argues that tax preferences for smaller operators would allow the market to be more fully served, reducing the attraction of offshore sportsbooks and thereby satisfying legislative enthusiasm for consumer protection.
On a similar note, because of its operating model, Sporttrade doesn't restrict winners. The majors could be targeted for punitive tax rates if they're perceived as not treating customers fairly.
Sounds like communism to me, but it could produce a more viable landscape for advantage bettors.
An interesting situation that sports bettor Spanky got into with a "whale" of a client:

Steve Jacobs was an online poker player (stevesbets) well known for verbally tilting about 20 years ago.
Haven't read the tweet yet.
I made my first ever Sports Bet today! :D Hialeah Park Casino is running a Promotion where you download the Hard Rock Sports App, make your first bet, and get $50 free play! :D If your bet fails, you get your bet back! :D
Edit. I had posted a screenshot of my bet, but I realized that in my screenshot, it has my personal information in it, so I removed the link to the screenshot..

The Sports Betting App said he was +240 and I chose him.

Lo and behold, Sawicki WON and Adamiak LOST. :( I would have won $54 if I had gone with Sawicki. :(Quote:

On the bright side, I got the $50 free play Promotion from Hialeah Park Casino. :) I left the Casino with about $80. :) And I made 53 points. :)
Ya know, with Tasha's stories and threads, I always feel like there is something missing. Something we aren't being told or we are being told only part of the story. Something just always seems amiss.
But until proven otherwise, I will take you at your word and say something you aren't likely to hear from your "Tasha fan club".
I am proud of you for engaging in this sports betting advantage play....and it is advantage play. Well, that is, as long as you didn'tt take an uber at $45 to collect that $53 profit. :rolleyes: You go girl!
I said that I COULD take an Uber to collect my free play, but I soon after said that taking an Uber to collect free play would be STUPID and I said that I paid about $5 in bus fare instead.Quote:

So are you saying Hialeah gives points on Free Play? That’s very unique along with a return of 60% on -EV slots.Quote:

Or are you saying you played the free play through and continued to play and earn points? Still a nice return and obviously a result that won’t continue to occur.
A.Wolf did always say that with some fine tuning Tasha's slots play might be even be turned to +EV.
Speaking of A.Wolf, he must be on some prodigious bender to be absent this long....

RED did you see Dave Cokin died the other day? Other than his foray into 900 numbers with Jim Feist and Wayne Root at a time everyone was doing it, he was a good dude. His radio show ran for years and he had a hell of a record on best bets year after year.
Hard to find anyone to say anything bad about him. RIP
No, I hadn't seen that. That's a shame. He was legit, and I always appreciated his flat caps, which I am partial to as soon as the leaves turn brown. Another classic handicapper gone. I have a long Mike Lee story for you if I ever meet you in person. Karen knew Mike when he was a relatively young man in LV. I had the misfortune of winning a contest against thousands of people that would have put me under Mike Lee at The National for at least a year. The National, however, folded after about 60 days. Lee was heartbroken. So was I, but I always figure the worst, so not as heartbroken as Lee.Quote:

The 900 number forays weren't a completely bad thing (I was on one or two of those myself when with Playbook). I mean, I could see, pre-internet, how they were useful and cutting edge for a number of years. The problem was that some folks (Mike "Warren," for example) went hog wild and weren't doing anyone any good. If people got their money back after losers or set-ups like that, I couldn't fault the concept.
