Report: DraftKings Sportsbook Takes Down Derby Odds After Churchill Downs’ Protest

The Mississippi-based DraftKings sportsbook has Closed down its Kentucky Derby futures odds after a complaint from Churchill Downs, Inc., according to a report by the Vegas Stats & Information Network.

A source told VSiN’s Ron Flatter which CDI pointed to legal precedent as why DraftKings should remove the odds, produced by former Las Vegas Wynn Sportsbook director Johnny Avello, who recently moved into the Scarlett Pearl Casino/DraftKings book in D’Iberville, Miss.. Avello was well-known for many years for making a lengthy list of Kentucky Derby futures odds for the Wynn. This year’s record had 285 individual horses recorded.
In accordance with Flatter, CDI’s issue with DraftKings in Mississippi is that it doesn’t host pari-mutuel betting from racetracks, a scenario in which tracks receive a cut. Many Vegas casinos, including the Wynn, provide pari-mutuel wagering from tracks across the nation.
Avello told Flatter at a text that he had been”not clear on what really happened.” This entry was posted in NL Article, The Biz and tagged churchill downs, Churchill Downs Inc., draftkings, Johnny Avello, Kentucky Derby futures, Kentucky Derby Futures Wager by Paulick Report Staff.

10 Game of Thrones Characters That Are as Good as Dead

The first episode of Game of Thrones year 8 came and went with no key characters dying. There was still a little bloodshed, but it was inconsequential to the story.
I remember exiting the space for a moment on Sunday, retreating into the kitchen to grab some popcorn and water, per my wife’s request.
She asked me when I needed her to pause it, and I said,”Nah, what can possibly occur in 15 seconds?”
As I rounded the corner to the kitchen, she cried,”Someone died!” Of course.
Per her,”They did not matter.” She was not wrong, and then I managed to sit down and enjoy the remainder of the incident, it was clear no one would be meeting their bitter ending before incident two.
But that can’t possibly last for long. That can be Game of Thrones, after all, and only five episodes remain.
Now, I’m not demanding that each character dies — or even most of these — but that I also don’t know if I buy a lot of them lasting through a battle with The Night King and everything lies ahead with Queen Cersei.
The purpose here is no one left Westeros in a body bag in episode one, but that’s going to change in a hurry. And though the chance of corpses piling up in the Seven Kingdoms raises with each passing episode, incident one did put some groundwork for some potential deaths.
Whether foreshadowing or not, here are the characters I think are for sure dying before year 8 is finished.
Varys and Melisandre
This is old news, but hey, why don’t you begin with two individuals that the show has teased will likely die before the show is finished? Melisandre has already been promised by Sir Davos that he’d kill her if he ever saw her again, and I am certain others have reason to wish her ill will.
But she advised Varys she needed to return into Westeros to view things through. She also said she had to die there like him. Her ability to be prophetic obviously struck a chord with Varys at the moment, and possibly it’s just me, but he has seemed extra down since.
The clock is ticking on virtually everybody, but let’s face it — Varys is highly opinionated and has spoken against rulers in the past. He also has no true ability to defend himself, so that he puts himself in trouble, that’s that.
These are smaller personalities which may help facilitate the story. They could be spared, but there is reason enough to possess either/both killed off.
Theon and Euron Greyjoy

Baylor Bears basketball

Early years

Luther Burleson coached the initial basketball team in Baylor in 1907 also doubling as the football coach. In Baylor’s next season of basketball afterward cross-town rival TCU started their program which the Bears defeated twice during the 1908–09 season.

As the bus crossed the tracks the natives failed to listen to the sound of the train whistle and ringing bell. The motorist caught sight of the train at the last minute and tried to maneuver away, however, the Sunshine Special crashed into the bus at near 60 miles off ripping off the roof and side.

Ivy Foster Sr. of Taylor, Texas, had heard of the crash and rushed to the train station in Taylor to meet with the train and assist where needed simply to find his son among the dead.
The deceased were Jack Castellaw, Sam Dillow, Merle Dudley, L.R. “Ivey” Foster Jr., Robert “Bob” Hailey, James Clyde “Abe” Kelly, Willis Murrary, James “Jim” Walker, and William Winchester.
The rest of the 1927 season was canceled. The tragedy had reverberations over the entire nation and country and led to the construction of the first railway overpass in Texas in which the event happened at Round Rock. Buses were later required to come to a complete stop and open the door at all railway crossings to listen to trains. The Immortal Ten story has been commemorated annually since 1927 initially in Chapel services then afterwards at the Freshman Mass Meeting during Homecoming Week. In 2007, the event was memorialized in bronze on the Baylor campus at Traditions Plaza.
On the 90th anniversary of the tragedy, January 22, 2017, the City of Round Rock held a memorial event to remember those who had been killed in the train-bus collision. In the event, the city committed to the”Immortal Bridge,” that arcs over the railroad tracks where the incident happened. Green lampposts, green-and-gold paint and other markers honor the 10 students who were murdered there. The event was open to the general public, and attendees included Baylor administrators and student leaders, that the spirit squads, and Baylor’s Golden Wave Band.

2003 scandal
Main article: Baylor University basketball scandal
The men’s basketball program was plagued by a scandal in 2003. Patrick Dennehy, a participant for the team, was murdered by former teammate Carlton Dotson; then-coach Dave Bliss was forced to resign amidst allegations that he had violated NCAA rules by making monetary payments to four gamers and that he made improper statements to the media characterizing Dennehy as a drug dealer. The school placed itself on probation, limited itself to 7 scholarships for two decades and imposed a post-season ban for one year. Additionally, the NCAA further punished the group by initiating a non-conference ban for the 2005–2006 season and expanding the probationary period during the school would have limited recruiting statements.
Decade Long Resurgence
The 2005 Bears were hindered by only having 7 scholarship players and recorded just one win in conference play. In spite of these challenges, head coach Scott Drew was able to gather a 2005 signing class ranked No. 7 nationally by HoopScoop.
The basketball program undergone a resurgence under coach Scott Drew having an NCAA Tournament appearance in 2008 for the first time in 20 years with a 9–7 summit record and the team’s first national standing in 39 decades. The January 23, 2008 116–110 5OT triumph over Texas A&M at College Station formally became the longest game in Big 12 history. The 2008–09 team was ranked early in the summer but stumbled to a 5–11 summit finish before heating up in the Big 12 Tournament defeating both Kansas and Texas en route to the championship match versus Missouri, also lost by a score of 73–60. The 2008–2009 group recorded the program’s first postseason victory since 1950 in its first round NIT victory within the Georgetown Hoyas at Waco.
The 2008–09 team went on to advance to the NIT Final where they fell to Penn State. The 2009–10 squad was rated in both polls and pulled off the largest road win in school history across the then #6 Texas Longhorns at Austin 80–77 on Jan. 30th. The Bears closed out the season with a Big 12 era finest 11–5 record and #3 seed at the Big 12 championship.
The 2009–10 group was picked to finish 10th in the Big 12 at the Big 12 Coaches Poll as a result of graduation of several key players from the preceding year. On the other hand, the team ended the regular season 23–6 and tied for 2nd in the Big 12 standings. After a 2–1 album in the Big 12 tournament, the Bears were rewarded with a #1 in the South Region of the NCAA tournament. The Bears defeated #14 seed Sam Houston State 68–59 in First Round actions and then conquered #11 seed Old Dominion 76–68 in Second Round play to advance to the Sweet 16 hosted in Reliant Stadium in Houston. The Bear’s Sweet 16 match-up was 10 seed Saint Mary’s, which had defeated #2 seed Villanova the previous week ahead of the Sweet 16. The Bears won handily over the Gaels, 72–49, after major 47–19 in the half. The Elite Eight was held in Reliant Stadium and the Bears’ opponent was the #1 seed Duke Blue Devils, the final #1 seed standing at the NCAA tournament following the other three #1 seeds (Kansas, Syracuse, and Kentucky) were all defeated by lower seeded teams. In front of a very pro-Baylor audience of over 47,000, the Bears were defeated by the Duke Blue Devils, 78–71, to finish the magic run to the Elite Eight. It was the best season in the Scott Drew age as characterized by conference standing, overall ranking, wins, and NCAA championship wins. The Bears finished the year ranked #10 from the last ESPN/Coaches Poll–the highest ranking in program history at that moment.
The 2010–11 team started the season ranked 14th (according to the AP Preseason poll). The Bears started 7–0, also climbed to 9th in the polls prior to falling to Gonzaga in a neutral court in Dallas. The team finished 18–13 total and seven –9 in league play. The highlight of the season was Lacedarius Dunn getting the Big 12’s all-time top scorer, and a sweep of this series versus rated Texas A&M. After freshman star Perry Jones III was suspended by the NCAA for six games, the Bears proceeded to lose their first-round match of the Big 12 Championship from Oklahoma.
The 2012 season saw another historic campaign for the Bears as they followed up the 2011 season with another successful conference run which saw the Bears win 30 games and make it to the Big 12 championship title game. The Bears were selected for the NCAA tournament and made it all of the way to the Elite Eight, which ended at a loss to eventual national champion Kentucky.
The 2013 year witnesses another winning campaign for the Bears as they followed the 2012 Elite Eight season with another successful conference run that saw the squirrels sweep both TCU and Texas Tech while just dropping one match to UT. The bears started out using a pre-season ranking of 19 in the nation. The Boys finish conference play .500 and were chosen for the NIT tournament. The Bears made it all the way to the Final, which ended in a win over Iowa, winning the tournament in front of a sizable audience in Madison Square Garden and claiming the 2013 NIT Title.

Alberto Salazar: Wada must investigate athletes – IOC president

Please let us know if you agree.
All athletes who coached according to IOC president Thomas Bach should be investigated by the World Anti-Doping Agency.
Salazar, the former coach of Britain’s Mo Farah, was this week found guilty of doping offenses after a four-year investigation by the US Anti-Doping Agency (Usada).
61, the conclusion against Salazar, came after a two-year court battle.
Bach said the instance is”very stressing and raises serious issues”.
Speaking at a news conference on Thursday,” Bach explained:”We’re confident that Wada will look into this situation very carefully and will follow up on questions that continue following this document.
“The IOC may write a letter to Wada inside this respect”
On what he is going to be asking Wada, Bach added:”To see the number of athletes have been investigated. Have of the athletes been researched who have been training in this facility?
“Does the report address the whole length of the occurrence of the undertaking or just part of it?
“Can any Olympic consequences directly or indirectly be impacted?
“We heard in the report which the athletes wouldn’t have understood what happened to them – this can be an important element when studying sanctions but disqualification is mandatory whether the athlete knows or not.
“We are very confident that Wada is looking at this anyway so we are awaiting the advice out of Wada inside this respect.”
In a statement, Wada explained:”Wada notes that the decisions passed down in the instances of Alberto Salazar and Jeffrey Brown in connection to their involvement in the Nike Oregon Project. As always, Wada may review all elements of this instance.
“We will wait the IOC’s correspondence however we cannot comment publicly until we’ve reviewed the case in full.”
Runs on the Nike Oregon Project – home to four-time Olympic winner Farah from 2011 before 2017.
Even the 36-year-old Farah, also a six-time world champion, said:”I am relieved that Usada has, following four years, completed their investigation to Alberto Salazar.
“I abandoned the Nike Oregon Project at 2017 however, as I’ve consistently said, I have no tolerance for anybody who violates the rules or crosses online. I’m glad there has been a conclusion.”
The Briton hasn’t failed a drugs test and has always strongly denied breaking any rules.
UK Athletics cleared Farah to stay together with the Nike Oregon Project, although allegations against Salazar first surfaced in 2015.

Point/Counterpoint: Notre Dame vs Louisville – Free NCAAF Betting Picks

Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and I shall deviate to dip our toes and then also leave our college football picks.
It will probably be the very first and only time this season we do so, as the last week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season game of NCAA soccer featuring one of the very best clubs in the country, and a legendary football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a wager on the Steelers while the Titans were endorsed by me. Weve been placing wins forth and back so it looks like it is my turn for the gold wreath, as I will follow the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a public street favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days before this Monday night affair, I see the line has spiked a half-point about the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is currently offered at a solid -20 across the board at all the very best internet sportsbooks.
I like the Irish but youre leaning within this clash to the Cardinals. Besides the place do you believe Louisville can hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes, Swinger, at least and a triumph IMO, said a lot about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Lets move to football, in which the games count and so will our records on this one.
Recall all those Thursday night games Louisville utilized to perform against big-name opponents? They held their engineered and own many upsets. These were enjoyable games to see and the Cardinals were an golf club.
But like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles at Appalachian State and will be out win matches and to alter the culture. This wont happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille. Nonetheless, this is a significant moment for Louisville, a team which has the opportunity.
Ive read where the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall since the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the defense , well, that makes me more worried. You have your Irish up please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest flying in this match. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and he has a group coming off of a dismal 2-10 record this past year, in which they went winless. This rebuild is akin to attempting to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is facing a group that made it into the CFP last year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 till they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders as well, averaging over 33 points per match.
My question is, how will be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to release, designed to gain any traction against a swarming defense that is Irish? Especially when hes working with a coach and an offensive strategy that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form from which Louisville is going to be able to keep up with this Golden Domers and Im desperate for handicapping expertise that is prodigious and the ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to see in your last sentence you are coming over to the glowing side of sport betting, or youre simply being the same shrewd a** you usually are. I will allow the SBR readers that are making college football picks decide on this. Im the first to realize Louisville completely sucked and wasnt only 2-10, but 1-11 ATS final year.
Like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that team COMPLETELY. A new trainer brings a new attitude and his team will be sold by Satterfield on building a statement with this being a federal match. Louisville does have to hope not and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have much fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly with gold and the blue is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS when dishing out more or 20 digits. This defense you mentioned may improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, if you dont/cant amuse like Clemson or even Bama, it is going to take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because although you have an handicapping that was impressive resumethat then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, because Louisville might be better but I would submit that they could be coached by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their record rendered by an coach such as Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that placing nearly three touchdowns on the road would be square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but sometimes the people is correct, and also in this case they certainly are. Until next week once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
Free College Football Pick: Swinging Johnson — Notre Dame -20 (-110)
Free College Football Pick: Doug Upstone — Louisville +20 (-110)

Ashes 2019: England coach Trevor Bayliss reflects on his time in charge

We and our partners utilize technologies, such as cookies, and collect data that is browsing to personalise the information and advertising shown to you and to supply you with the very best experience.
Please let us know whether you agree.
The fifth Ashes Test at The Oval is not merely the last game of this series – it is additionally Trevor Bayliss’ last match as England head coach.
Appointed in 2015, Bayliss has witnessed England win a house Ashes series, rise to the top of the one-day rankings and win their very first men’s World Cup.
England need to succeed at The Oval to draw on this Ashes series 2-2 and have had a mixed period at the Test arena.
Bayliss talked to BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew regarding the highs and lows of the four-year tenure.
Bayliss was appointed England head coach May 2015 and his first show accountable was the home Ashes of that summer .
“The only real way I could describe it [having an Aussie coaching against Australia] was it was just like playing backyard cricket developing up.
“You played with your brothers and mates in the backyard and it was dog eat dog, but if you’ve completed, or between innings, you ran down the lake and went for a swim or got in your bicycles as best mates.
“However, you played the sport as hard and as tough as you possibly could do to get the bragging rights those men and it wasn’t any different back then or maybe in this series.
“There’s some men in the Australian group that I know very well. They’re trying to win the game for their staff as much as they possibly could and I would like that the England boys to win as far as I possibly can as well.”
One of Bayliss’ targets as head trainer was to overhaul the white-ball team of England after the disastrous 2015 World Cup, which watched them dumped out from the group stages.
“It was very much an attention. Surely when I spoke to [manager of championships ] Andrew Strauss, how England played at the 2015 World Cup wasn’t up to scratch and they needed to turn that around, but Test cricket was as a focal point.
“It was not like we just pushed that to the background and said white-ball is easily the most significant. We knew this was coming up, this summer, with a house World Cup and a house Ashes and we needed to be in a position.
“I mentioned to my wife before I return over for this summer, I would really like to win a minumum of one of the trophies.”
England won his first men’s World Cup at July in an enthralling game against New Zealand, which witnessed the trophy decided on the number of boundaries scored after a tied Super Over.
“Everything I thought of the following day was that I did not really realise how large a match or just how good a game that was.
“When you’re actually involved with the game, you’re kind of thinking of tactics or what we could and ought to be doing, you’re not actually thinking of the amusement value, what the fans are visiting.
“But waking the next morning and watching the reaction in my phone, and I likely got more messages from 24 hours than I receive in a complete calendar year!
“The lap of honor at Lord’s, it was great to see the smiles not only on the faces of the players and the management team, but the complete delight on the faces of everyone in that audience.
“It has been great to be involved with a World Cup triumph, however, it is actually the players who deserve the accolades. They are those that have gone and done the tough work. I believe as a coaching team and a management staff behind it, we are lucky to participate inside and play with such a close function with the men that have been able to venture out and get it done.”
Bayliss has been criticised for what’s perceived as a coaching style that was relaxed at times and is frequently seen as a laidback figure
“Sometimes it’s irked me a little bit when you find some of that sort of media since they just don’t understand what happens.
“I also enable the coaches we use to perform their jobs and speak to some of the players too. It’s not as if we do not get together and talk about each individual, the way the team is playing, but as the coach or coach, I let them get on and do their task.
“We get together and share what we could speak with the batters or even bowlers about but it’s exactly the 1 message.”
England have had an inconsistent time in Test cricket on the past four years – they haven’t lost a home Test series however they were thrashed 4-0 in the Ashes in Australia and have been bowled out cheaply in the West Indies and New Zealand.
“The question England cricket have got to answer isthe wickets that we play in four-day cricket – so are they doing the job well enough so the players coming are better prepared to actually play at the next level?
“There are a good deal of great coaches and administrators at the county level. You speak to them, they’ve got the exact concerns as we have here operating with England.
“There are a whole lot of talented players right throughout the first and second division of county cricket. What type of requirements have we have to play and how can we make it easier?
“They’re the questions that I think have to be replied.”

FIRST BOUTS REVEALED FOR UFC ROCHESTER AND UFC SOUTH CAROLINA

The first couple bouts have been shown for the UFC’s upcoming cards in Rochester and Greensboro, and I will give my initial takes on those matchups below.
Aspen Ladd vs. Sijara Eubanks, UFC Fight Night 151
Moving up from the women’s flyweight division is Sijara Eubanks, and she will fight Aspen Ladd at UFC Fight Night 151, taking place May 18 at Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, New York. MMAjunkie broke the information. Ladd (7-0) is undefeated in her career and is 2-0 at the UFC with a barbarous TKO win over Tonya Evinger in her last outing. Eubanks (4-2) is 2-0 in the UFC and beat Roxanne Modafferi by choice in her final struggle. This is really a rematch of the pair’s previous bout in Invicta, which Ladd won by choice. I’m expecting another aggressive struggle this moment around, but once more I would have to prefer Ladd to win the fight.
Trevin Giles vs. Zak Cummings, UFC Fight Night 151
Also added to UFC Fight Night 151 is a middleweight bout between Trevin Giles and Zak Cummings. Giles (11-0) is currently 2-0 in the UFC but hasn’t fought as a KO win over Antonio Braga Neto at December 2017. Cummings (22-6) is 7-3 in the UFC and is coming from a split decision win over Trevor Smith. Cummings is merely a gatekeeper at this point of his profession while Giles is a leading prospect in 185lbs, and he’ll likely be a huge favorite here regardless of his long layoff.
Mike Trizano vs. Grant Dawson, UFC Fight Night 151
Featherweight prospects Mike Trizano and Grant Dawson will fulfill at UFC Fight Night 151. The Democrat and Chronicle broke the information. Trizano (8-0) won TUF 27 and is so far 2-0 in the UFC including an upset win over Luis Pena his last time out. Dawson (13-1) chose over Julian Erosa in his UFC debut and is riding a four-fight win series at the moment. Both guys are solid prospects but Dawson seems to have more respect in the window and that I expect him to be favored at open.
Pat Cummins vs. Ed Herman, UFC Fight Night 151
Light heavyweights Pat Cummins and Ed Herman are set to match UFC Fight Night 151. Cummins (10-6) is 6-6 from the UFC and is coming from two straight losses to Misha Cirkunov and Corey Anderson. Herman (23-14, 1 NC) is one of the longest tenured UFC fighters and has an all-time record of 10-11, 1 NC overall from the Octagon. However, he has fallen on hard times as of late having a three-fight losing skid including losses to Gian Villante, CB Dollaway and Nikita Krylov. Now you have to fade Herman from anyone, and Cummins ought to be a small favorite here.
Jairzinho Rozenstruik vs. Allen Crowder, UFC Fight Night 153
Heavyweights Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Allen Crowder are set to meet at UFC Fight Night 153, occurring June 22 at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina. Crowder’s team declared the bout. Rozenstruik (7-0) picked up a great knockout win over Junior Albini in his UFC debut. Crowder (10-3, 1 NC) is 1-1 at the UFC and is coming off of a DQ win over Greg Hardy. This resembles the UFC punishing Crowder for whatever reason as I fully expect Rozenstruik to get a knockout win.

Saeed bin Suroor targets more Spring Carnival glory

Saeed bin Suroor has been taking aim at the Spring Carnival at Australia with just two contenders after good success last year.
Benbatl and Best Option won its Godolphin coach, who this year is targeting Fantasy Royal and Castle Meeting at some of the feature races Group One races.
Fantasy Castle was a Group One winner at Meydan this year – since beating Guineas winner Hermosa in the Criterium International in October while Royal Meeting has not yet been seen.
“We’ve got other horses for the Spring Carnival this season,” said Bin Suroor.
“We’re taking a look at shooting Fantasy Castle out there, and also Royal Meeting.
“He (Royal Meeting) had been a Group One winner in in France. We will come across a race and begin in Australia, although he had a problem, that meant he couldn’t run this year.
“Clearly he beat Hermosa this past year, so if he can run to that level of form he should be competitive.”
