MLB Trade Deadline Today, MGM and Caesars Look to Expand Sports Betting
and NFL Legend Bobby Beathard to be Inducted Into HOF on Saturday
Today is the MLB trade deadline and so far this
month Manny Machado has been traded to the Dodgers from the Orioles, Brad Hand
to the Indians from the Padres, Mike Moustakas to the Brewers from the Royals,
Zach Britton to the Yankees from the Orioles, Cole Hamels to the Cubs from the
Rangers and Joakim Soria to the Brewers from the White Sox. ESPN has a
list of all transactions in the past week.
As legal sports betting in the U.S. continues to
see more adoption, both MGM Resorts International and Caesar Entertainment have
joined to cash in, according to the Associated Press. MGM’s Borgata
casino-resort in New Jersey and Caesars’ Bally’s casino in Atlantic City
currently offer sports betting. The AP quotes Kevin Ortzman, who runs Caesars
Entertainment’s three Atlantic City casinos:
“The sports
betting customer is not your typical core gaming customer that Atlantic City
has been used to,” he said. “Offering this as another wagering opportunity
opens up a whole new chance to integrate this with our food and beverage,
gaming and entertainment offerings.”
NFL legend
Bobby Beathard will be inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame on Saturday. Beathard
was in the NFL for 38 years, winning four and competing in seven Super Bowls as
General Manager of the Kansas City Chiefs (1966), Miami Dolphins (1972,1973),
Washington Redskins (1982,1983,1987) and the San Diego Chargers (1994). The AP reports that
Beathard’s favourite memory of his career was the 1972 Miami Dolphins but that
every time one of his teams made it to the finals was a highlight.
“...they were
all memorable. Any time we made it to that last game, it meant that we were going
to the Super Bowl. Those were always great memories.”

Venture for Sports Betting Platform and WWE Extends Australian Broadcasting
