As first reported by @GamblingComp Jason Robins from @DraftKings seen chatting after hours with Jim Allen from Hard Rock International. Chatting about Florida OSB, perhaps?

1/ We are ~six months into a wave of negative mainstream coverage of sports betting.
The coverage mixes a handful of legit observations w/ misunderstandings, misstatements, misrepresentations, and hyperbole.
As bad as the coverage is, our industry largely made this bed.

Proud parent moment (#PPM) as eldest son is named School Captain.
(He’s great and I love him and he asked me to tweet this, with the request that I give him £1 for every RT. So, for once, please only ‘like’.)
Affordability checks have een in the news this week. Here is the take from the Pinchpoint newsletter from the Dept. of Trust.

For @iGamingBusiness, a look at the Public Health lobby's willingness to simply make up the data it comes to the cost of problem gambling.

The gambling sector has consistently asked for policy which is evidenced-based. But, Scott Longley asks, what happens if that evidence is itself suspect?

Ring any bells @stevenmbjones...?
There’s a very weird type of British woman who wears colourful stockings, is usually half-cut, loves to complain and lapses in a kind of weird Putney voodoo when called up on it. Possibly looking you in the eye and saying ‘yooouuu are not a nice man, NO!’

@ByRobDavies has written an intelligent book on the subject of gambling in the UK. You don't have to agree with everything he says or all the conclusions to think that hominem attacks are surely not the way to win the argument here.
The Sun is the punters paper & they have a legitimate view + you’re not exactly on the strongest wicket when it comes to questioning other journalists as to whether or not they have an agenda. When it comes to gambling, you’re not a ‘reporter’ you’re an anti-industry ‘campaigner’

So sad to read the news about Cathal Coughlan. He was a lyrical genius and Microdisney were magnificent on record and as a live band. This Whistle Test clip goes some way to capturing their edgy brilliance. #RIP.

This thread will be dedicated to the victims of the mass shooting in Buffalo.
This is Ruth Whitfield, 86. Her son, the former Buffalo Fire Commissioner, said she was on her way from visiting her husband in a nursing home and stopped at the store to get something to eat.
One can only assume that when the nameless sub at the @Daily_Record came up with this headline, the applause rang out across Glasgow. I doff my cap...
