Hi
@espn
! 👋 Wanted to share a big congratulations from the entire industry. We are very excited to hear that you’ve decided to start your own Sportsbook. For everyone’s sake we certainly hope your analytics department is HEAVILY involved.
These weather games are just brutal for the books. Unders getting mashed into oblivion. Wanted to keep my job after the bad opener so had to make a call to Goddell and we settled on postponing to Monday which was the next best weather date

ESPN has entered an agreement with
@PENNEntertain
to launch ESPN BET, a branded sportsbook in the U.S.
ESPN BET will be available for fans this fall
Details:
If you are a Sportsbook slinging 15/1 odds on Tiger Woods to win the Masters you should be ashamed of yourself. Conversely, if your a bettor who is taking that price you should consider never making another wager in your life. God bless this industry, I tell ya 🙄🤦♂️

I cannot wait to be out of this hellhole of an industry one day.
It is amazing how many dummies there are in this industry between content creators, people who work for recreational books, scummy touts, and guys who run paid Discords. The incompetence is truly amazing.
The comments clearly show that America isn’t ready for legalized wagering anytime soon. The participation trophy warriors are out in full force this morning. God bless ‘em. Must have been a tough Christmas for the kids with no Booker voids 😂
Some group of “experts” had the actual audacity to come up with this incredible list of the sharpest Sportsbooks. Most of these books are as sharp as a marble 💀

please stay away from the NFL lines we hung for next week. They are absolutely riddled with traps, fishiness, reverse line movement possibilities, inflated bet %’s. Watching the guys randomly pick these #’s to lure y’all was gross

They didn’t send me across country to sightsee in the windy city of Chicago. I’m not a leisure guy, its all business. We’ve finally crossed the finish line and been given the green light to go live. We’ll be operational at

Good morning Twitter fam!
Someone told me favorites went 8-0 in the NCAAM tourney yesterday. Wild!
My alarm just went off for my fourth 16-hour shift in a row. Currently heading into the office to see if we even have a Sportsbook still or what’s left of it.
I’ll report back..
The San Francisco 49ers would be favored on a neutral versus either the Philadelphia Eagles or the Dallas Cowboys. They are the third highest power rated team in football.
Imagine having 165.8k followers and not only believing this but actually tweeting it out lol. Sportsbooks and leagues don’t collude. Idk what is so hard about this for people to understand 🤯
Has to be some sort of collusion between the NFL and the sportsbooks here. If he was sick, why did he rush with 33 seconds left in the game to record some stats?
(0:33 - 4th) (No Huddle, Shotgun) B.Robinson up the middle to TB 33 for 3 yards (S.Barrett).
A very comfy 17.82% House Edge on this wager. It is the NBA Finals for god sake. What are we even doing here?! Having a license to operate doesn’t mean you should try to rob them blind.
Tom Brady is code for anyone with a pulse. Thanks for saying the quiet part out loud, BetMGM. Whoever runs the PR and Marketing Dept. should be immediately fired. Talk about absolutely lighting money on fire with this marketing spend. An industry full of idiots…
Super Bowl opener at
@CircaSports
was Kansas City Chiefs -2.5 with a total of 51. The market disagreed and said our opener was garbage. It will be interesting to see where this number goes in the next two weeks!
#SuperBowlLVII
You’re right, Lloyd. I didn’t want it to come to this but here we are. In full transparency I meet with Goodell in my office on Sunday mornings & we script the games based on our needs. I feel like God, it really is amazing. We just decide all the results & make billions together

What is
@CircaSports
value proposition for a recreational bettor who doesn’t bet full limits and has no problem getting down at other places? It is a great question and one I found myself answering a lot the past few days as we expanded into IL (1/16) 🧵
Hi Dan! Thanks so much for your business. I just checked with our Credit Department and we’ll need to collect payment within 30 days. Let me know if you want to do a wire transfer or a cashier’s check. Thanks in advance and have a great rest of your evening. Cheers! 🤝
Update for all you non-believers: We need the Kansas City fucking Chiefs for our lungs. The lights won’t come on tomorrow if they can’t get inside the number. Send your thoughts and prayers ahead of time. Tyia!
Former Browns QB and NFL Comeback Player of the Year winner Joe Flacco reached agreement with the Indianapolis Colts, per sources. It’s a one-year deal worth up to $8.7 million, including $4.5 million guaranteed. Flacco to Indy.
We work in the GAMBLING industry YET have so many shops and bookmakers that are PARALYZED to write a bet from a sharp player because they think that means they did something wrong. It is so sad to watch. We now have levels of fear that are counterproductive to doing the job.
I make one sarcastic tweet about being out of a job & the rec books & their headhunters are swarming like sharks. Relax boys,at least let the ink dry on my noncompete for fucks sake. I’m not on the market yet you vultures & I’m not interested in being the VP of your limiting Dept

In light of recent developments (whiny Aaron Rodger’s prop bettors DEMANDING refunds) before I head into the office today I will be canvassing Fremont Street with a tithe plate and “collecting” any Jets/UN bets that we paid out. Seems like those should have been voids too right?!

Dog and under was an unmitigated disaster pre-storm. Get on the phone, make a call and voila - the game is pushed two days and the weather is much better. Fav and ov comes in just how we drew it up. Man, my handy work is something to behold 👌

! 👋 After speaking with our legal counsel please see the attached trademark infringement document we’ll be routing for signature later this afternoon. I let your Mother know to be on the lookout as well so she won’t be alarmed when it arrives on her doorstep. Cheers!
It was quite a whirlwind day yesterday and while I received a number of different heartfelt messages through my various social media channels I am overcome with joy as I get to share an announcement on my future career plans this morning…
At Circa our liability on the US was small BECAUSE we allow winning players to bet with us who took the other side of the trade with Iran at good prices. At other shops they are slammed with US money and bec they don’t take sharp action have no one to sell the position off too 🤔
Sadly,

We once hung a WNBA ASG total at 248.5 that closed less that <200 and moved more than 50+ points from our opener. Respectfully, I would say the ONLY thing we know for sure is the sports book usually posts a bad number to start (never intentionally).
One thing we know for sure is the sports book never posts a bad number to start—they want action on both sides from the public. What you don’t want to happen is take the 7.5, and the Bears lose by 8 or 9, making the original number correct.
Tell me you don’t understand sports betting without telling me you don’t understand sports betting 🤦♂️
Hint: Legalized wagering isn’t legal in Massachusetts
Your casino floor at the Virgin Hotel is also covered in slot machines last time I checked, yet
@BetfredSports
has zero relevancy in NV or any of the other states they operate in. Your model does not work at scale anywhere. Period.
We also trade at a 3% margin fwiw.
Your regular reminder that the only reason Circa can trade at a 4% margin in NV is because their casino floors are covered in slot machines. The model does not work at scale outside of NV. Period.
Tell me you have almost zero liability on the Bengals to win the Super Bowl without telling me you have almost zero liability on the Bengals to win the Super Bowl

Woke up this morning feeling great & decided to fire up the ol’ Twitter and check a few things. I just so happened to see Void Kirk trending & made a poor decision to click on it. Oh boy, our society really is doomed. You dummies wouldn’t have hit 5Dimes Tony with this energy 🙄
This industry is just amazing. Give a cute quote that we’re begging for KC $$$ and get the you lying, cheating, stealing SOB retorts. If you idiots can’t look at a screen and see we were the only 4.5 in the world then you’re dumber than I thought. Men lie, women lie, #’s don’t….
If you think this was a bad bet just because this lost then you probably should spend some time brushing up on CLV & probability. Results oriented people crack me up.
Imagine for a second a prominent brand ambassador and the face of a Sportsbook saying “fu*k that guy” about one of the nicest individuals (
@roundingagain
) in the industry. Quite the hill to die on and one reason why the bookie/bettor relationship is at an all-time low 🤦♂️
In laymen’s terms: the legalized sports betting industry in 2023 sucks & is headed down a dangerous path. Most operators price gouge at a disgusting rate, you can’t bet if you are a winner or chase steam/arb, & before you know it the only product left will be SGP’s. Sad times 😢
Anyone who tells you we aren’t in the first inning of legalized sports wagering is totally and unequivocally lying to you. God this app is just too f’ing good. A huge edge to make money yet some people are screaming bloody murder and collusion with the sportsbooks. El oh el 😂
Analytics are based on thousands of iterations. Most coaches don't have the luxury of playing it out that many times. They have to make good decisions based on all factors, including those not contemplated by the analytics formulas. If they don't, they get fired.
What am I most proud of? That we treat our guests as bettors and not criminals, that we’re fair and don’t price gouge, and that we provide a transparent marketplace for EVERYONE to get down. Those are the core values of
@CircaSports
and the things we intend to continue everyday.
Excited to announce the opening tonight of our 6th retail Sportsbook in Nevada with the addition of our newest Satellite property at
@legends_bay
Casino! We are looking forward to our expansion into the Northern Nevada market & providing another out for players in the Reno area!
NFL organization’s spend thousands of hours a season preparing, game planning and practicing to make the most optimal and +EV choices possible only to have their coach willingly throw away 5-10% of win probability every week based on “conventional wisdom” and “groupthink” 🙄🙄🙄
Was ESPNBet taking a position? If so they are even worse at this whole sportsbook thing than I orig thought
Customer acq? The people they sold off to are the exact cust they dont want in the first place
They very clearly took too big a bet & then panic sold it at -EV positions
Odds boosts are commonplace in the American betting market these days, a promotional tool for sportsbooks to entice low-limit bets by bumping up the payouts.
The odds boost that popped up on ESPN BET on Saturday morning, however, was a different story.
For all you dumb dumb’s who scoffed at the notion we could hang the Buff’s as a 5 point favorite after they beat TCU as a 3 touchdown underdog, well…
"We saw what you wrote. Do you believe us now?"
…🦗🦗🦗
"You still don't believe. Next question."
Don’t let anyone tell you that we aren’t still in the first inning for this whole legalized gambling thing. We got morons like this making outrageous statements who couldnt tell you the first thing about anything in the industry while actively making a mockery of problem gambling
In a day and age where most businesses could care a less about their customers we genuinely try and see the value each and everyone brings to us. We simply aren’t in a position to pick and choose who is important and who isn’t important. (1/3)

#1
as you just rolled out of bed hungover and didn’t get a chance to hit the range. This isn’t a debate, Durren.
Here is the 2024 MLB Plan at
@CircaSports
:
Overnights typically will be hung by 7pm, limits usually will be $3k sides, $1k totals, $3k RLs. These limits will be bumped to $5k/$2k/$5k after the last game of the night has finished. (1/7)
By 7AM this morning every Sunday NFL game had $100k limits on the side, $50k limits on the ML, and $30k limits on the total. These limits are available to ANYONE both on the app and at the counter.
“Sports betting the way it should be”
One of my ticket writers sent this to me. A $200 two-team parlay juiced at +164. The operator sent back a message that the max bet was $1.21. If you don’t believe that limiting/banning/barring of both +EV/-EV players is a rampant issue in this industry then I give up 🤡🤡🤡
100%. However, if they knew “Vegas” was just a bunch of dudes sitting in a random basement closet in some shitty Casino copying Pinny/Cris lines while they figure out whether they want to order Roberto’s or Domino’s for dinner they’d be less likely to say this.
Hi
@CircaSports
bettors! 👋 If you are looking for any specific fun and interesting props for the Super Bowl please comment below & we’ll review and try to add a few. Remember that these have to be approved by the Gaming Control Board so no Gatorade color type of things, etc. 👍
Find me another Sportsbook that is booking certain games a half a point better on the dog than the price on the favorite all while taking $20k a pop. Why you may ask? Well for starters because we are actively trying to incentivize volume. Writing a bet is OK industry folks! 🤔
@ShawnFordd
100% you have the right to be upset. Anytime that happens it is extremely frustrating. With all of that being said it still doesn’t mean bettors are ENTITLED to a refund.
PSA: For any & all Sportsbook operators out there, please share the following information below with your players. We’ll take ALL the sharp bettors you want to limit & ban. We can both player profile and book better than y’all. Send em our way, thanks!

I am honored to share the same birthday as your wonderful Mother. It is so ironic that the two people who love you the most were born the same day. Hope you had a great dinner with her!
This industry is so tiresome at times. Why? B/c companies who know nothing about the space are getting involved and trying to ruin it for others, marketing/casino companies are posing as sportsbooks, regulatory slap fights, and everyone acts like an expert, it’s just exhausting.
One of the “funniest” things I see in the industry is a player who gets excited to bet with a regulated bookmaker here in the US. Said player then decides to deposit $100k in a regulated book with the overzealous joy to gamble in the regulated market. Said player wins first (1/5)
“Bookmakers can’t do anything about it”. What a wild statement. Move your number to a price that entices action on the other side and allows you to earn to the USA bets. This is not re-inventing the wheel here people. When your buried to one side the solution is to write more.
in the US are faced with. It is about time the industry steps up and starts treating its players the way they deserve to be treated instead of the thievery that continues to happen on a daily basis right now. (5/5)
As a noted non-DK supporter I give credit to Jason for his transparency. It is wild to be in the same industry as others yet in vastly different businesses. For profit players are welcome here at
@CircaSports
because the bookmaker/bettor relationship doesnt have to be adverserial
DraftKings CEO Jason Robins told an investor summit Tuesday: “This is an entertainment activity. People who are doing this for profit are not the players we want.” What else did he say about the emerging New York market?
