FC/OT: Bryce Harper employed to help FanDuel drain a ‘VIP’ out of almost $2mm…

Not a good look for Harper, but how dose he know if that guy was winning or losing big.
I’m sure he doesn’t. FD no doubt told him they would like to send a special message to one of their best customers and he did it because he probably got paid for it. Still, good to know who you’re in bed with…
Online sports betting should never have been allowed. That will become increasingly obvious as time goes on.
Not if all the issues associated with it are being swept under the rug.

PSA:
If a casino considers you a VIP you lose more than you win.
(if you win too much, too often, they do not allow you back).

Just to be clear and thorough in addressing issues and revealing value behind positioning…”why should online sports betting, NOT be allowed?” In addition-why is or why isn’t online sports betting different than the prior model? I’m just wanting you to spell out your logic so I can see if this is your opinion or if it’s a factual assessment of the situation.
The legalization of sports betting has allowed many leagues to catch the game/prop fixing...if it were still illegal, those things would have never been caught. It's an unpopular opinion (because many don't understand it and just go with the sensational headlines), but legalization very much helps the integrity of the game.
One can easily argue the integrity of the betting is what drives it all, and integrity of the games tag along.
Yeah, never thought Harper acted intentionally here. Seems like he’s caught up in things.
Incredibly easy access greatly facilitating those with gambling addictions and a venue to rapidly add new customers with the intense media advertisement on TV, radio, and social media.
Season 4 of Michael Lewis's podcast covers sports betting. It is worth a listen IMHO.
