A deep dive into the economics of sportsbooks, why they ban the best bettors, and how the law protects this.

Maybe legalizing sports betting wasn't such a great idea after all.
It’s legal gambling (same as the retail crypto and stock trades in the US). I’d expect that the legalisation of sports markets in the US has meaningfully moved exploitable punters out of the markets and into the bookmakers.

In the USA advertising cigarettes through certain mediums is illegal. I wonder if the same could be done for sports betting.
