The limited-edition collection will include 10,000+ “NFT Flips,” each featuring a WWE Superstar tied to the HELL IN A CELL event.

Media Man Advertising Blog: Betting Controversy on ESPN During Serena Match (Gambling911)

Betting Controversy on ESPN During Serena Match (Gambling911)


"Holy s*** Caesars is paying a lot of money to sponsor the U.S. Open Tennis telecast and this doofus says let’s not encourage Gambling," Gambling911.com's own Thomas Somach reported Friday night while watching Serena Williams take on Ajla Tomljanovic.

ESPN had the odds up on Serena provided by Caesars to win the title and those odds were being slashed.  Commentator John McEnroe was mentioning this when the other announcer, Pat McEnroe, chimed in and said "let's not encourage gambling."

Huh?

"I’m sure he’s going to be in big trouble for that I’m listening closely now waiting for the apology waiting for him to say it’s OK to gamble," Somach said.

"(This) reminds me of the time a few years ago when Miss America contestants in Atlantic City were instructed not to smoke, drink or gamble in public lest it hurt the image of Miss America.

"The casinos complained and the restriction on gambling was lifted."

Soach questioned how ESPN could show an ad for Caesars and then say don’t use the product.

"It’s like advertising dishwashing detergent but then at the end of the commercial telling people it’s a bad product, don’t buy it."

So the odds are that ESPN has a solid sports betting deal, and the odds are that not all the ESPN commentators are big fans of the arrangement! That's sports business. Odds are hundreds of folks will read this. You can bet on it sport! Ha.

Google Featured Snippet Callouts, False Premises, MUM & More (Search Engine Roundtable)

Search Engine Roundtable YouTube

Google MUM Gives Featured Snippets Consensus, Google Breaks Bad, Ranking Tremors, Lens, Spam & More (video)

Greg Tingle

A most interesting and education podcast today. There's a number of complexities with Google's MUM. One is that in the history of the world many times the general consensus or mass population belief of various topics eventually got proven to be incorrect. Examples could be the colonisation / invasion/ discovery of Australia re Captain Cook, the Earth is flat, the existence of Aliens (which is more of an open and balanced conversation now opposed to say the 1900's), is God real, cures for Cancer and other diseases, how many planets there are in the solar system, and so it goes on.. Over the past week I thought my journalism and media scribes were getting censored again, but this wasn't the case. It was just a glitch in the Google Matrix Of Things, which is still a concern. Reminds me of Netflix movie current screening, 'Blackhat' staring Australian Chris Hemsworth, that I watched this week and it almost seemed more like a documentary! People, systems and webcode are not perfect and people and corporations can become corrupted or get bugs, so this means things can break. Hopefully Google is back to 100 percent now or at least close. Back up work and spread risk are a few of the reminder lessons in this. It would be interesting to get a quote on the matters by Elon Musk, Kim Dotcom and a few other leading business masterminds in and around the digital business space. Thanks again.
