Gaming Today Playbook: SBC Summit | TNF Props | Great Promos
Betting picks by sports bettors for sports bettors.
We hope everyone here had an excellent Thanksgiving from all of us here at Gaming Today! This week, we have a few of our greatest sports betting minds traveling to New Jersey for SBC Summit North America.
For those who are not familiar with the event, this is the biggest sports betting and iGaming convention in the United States. Gaming Today’s Chris Gerlacher and Marcus DiNitto have everything you need to know about SBC North America, including some ominous comments from the DraftKings CEO Jason Robins.
Any Mets fans in here? This week has felt like a dream as the team is now tied for the second-best odds in the league to win the World Series. Below, I updated (or victory-lapped?) the 2022 World Series picture. Welcome to New York Max Scherzer!
We will also jump into TNF player props for the Cowboys vs. Saints at the Superdome. Lastly, the existing user promotions page is BUMPIN’ right now. Might be the best promotions we have had in a long time.
TNF Player Props – Cowboys vs. Saints
Taysom Hill Under 215.5 Passing Yards -115 (BetMGM)
This number went up with the news that Alvin Kamara will be a surprise inactive tonight. With that, Mark Ingram will start and Taysom Hill will have nearly no weapons at his disposal. Trevor Siemian did not top this number in either of his two starts. Hill will look to run more than pass this week.
Taysom Hill Over 40.5 Rushing Yards -110 (FanDuel)
This number was much better yesterday; it opened at. Still, Taysom should be ready to run much more than pass as the quarterback. Hill runs the ball a lot when he starts. It hasn’t been a lot but last year his rushing stats were quite impressive. He is +200 to rush for a touchdown tonight if you want to take the plunge.
The Latest In Tech Live From SBC Summit North America
Gaming Today is on the ground at SBC Summit North America breaking down the latest news and tech updates from sports betting across the industry.
Chris Gerlacher breaks down the future of Casino gaming and how sports betting fits in.
DraftKings did not put their best foot forward at this event. At the conference, DraftKings CEO Jason Robins said, “This is an entertainment product. People who are doing this for profit are not the ones we want.”
The response had an immediate impact on DraftKings’ stock price. They are at 52-week lows and in danger of climbing below $30 per share.
