A couple of months ago I stopped trading, betting and fantasy football. It's been one of the healthiest decisions I've made in years. Sports betting makes sports hollow and meaningless to a degree. Last night's UFC main event was disappointing. NBA players manipulated their own performances and leaked insider information to profit from prop bets.
FanDuel is being sued for allegedly using VIP perks to deepen customers’ gambling addictions. Bryce Harper sent a video message to Terry Thompson, one of the plaintiffs in the case.

NFL players are four times more likely to die from neurodegenerative diseases than the general population. This includes a 3.94-times higher overall rate of all-cause dementia and 3.88- times higher rate of Parkinson’s disease. Under 60-year-olds who died before the age of 60 had a 12-fold (1,200%) increase in brain-related mortality. NFL veterans with longer careers (5 or more seasons) had double the risk of neurodegenesis.
Prediction market operators are planning to launch sports-themed futures contracts. Perpetual futures contracts track the value of commodities like Bitcoin and are popularized by cryptocurrency backers. The CFTC allows only crypto-related perps, but it will review non-crypto perps on a case by case basis.
During the World Cup, bets worth a billion euros will be made in Germany. 300 to 400 million of that money will flow to illegal providers. There are many losers in the betting business for a variety of reasons. It also affects bettors and clubs.
