A professional sports gambler used analytics to turn a $700,000 loan into more than $300 million. This is the wild story 👇👇👇.

I know this tweet is supposed to make Navarro look bad, but it’s probably worth mentioning that Krejcikova also had the ballboy standing behind her (like everyone does) and only told him to sit next to her because the wind was causing the water to hit her off the umbrella.

Chris Fowler provided a cool look at Wimbledon’s Centre Court broadcast bunker before the tournament began. The window goes up during play and it’s so small that you can’t even stand up.

ESPN cutting to a Carlos Alcaraz interview during the middle of the Sabalenka-Raducanu match was certainly a decision.

Joey Chestnut made his return to the Nathan's hot dog eating contest by crushing 70.5 hot dogs in 10 minutes. • Calories: 20,938.• Total Fat: 1,269.• Carbohydrates: 1,974.• Protein: 705. Chestnut has now won the contest SEVENTEEN times. The GOAT!

Magic Johnson showed off his summer vacation aboard the yacht WHISPER. • 312-foot yacht.• Sleeps 12 guests in 7 cabins.• Pool, gym, sauna, and movie theatre. Jaguars owner Shad Khan sold the yacht to former Google CEO Eric Schmidt in 2023. Price tag = $1.4 million per week.

ESPN can’t be happy with the early results at Wimbledon. Americans Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, and Frances Tiafoe have all lost to unseeded players. Maybe another Alcaraz-Sinner final can save them.

Also, what the Golden State Valkyries have done is incredible. The Warriors' ownership group paid a $50 million expansion fee, yet is now the WNBA's most valuable team (at $500 million) in their first season. Here's how they did that:

With WNBA expansion fees hitting $250 million, two sales stick out:. 1. Mark Davis bought the Las Vegas Aces for $2M in 2021 — now worth $290M. 2. Joe and Clara Wu Tsai bought the NY Liberty from James Dolan for ~$10M in 2019 — now worth $420M. (Valuation data from @Sportico)

I recently wrote a newsletter breaking down the movie's most interesting details (custom race cars, innovative camera tech, $40M in sponsorships, filming rebates, etc.). You can read that here:

The new Formula 1 movie earned $144 million at the global box office over its opening weekend. That is the biggest worldwide launch of any movie Brad Pitt has ever done. It's also already bigger than Rush and significantly outpacing Ford v. Ferrari.
