GamingToday Playbook: Exclusive PFL CEO Interview | Fantasy Football Guides
Betting picks by sports bettors for sports bettors
Ladies and gentlemen, the Professional Fighter’s League CEO, Peter Murray joins us on the GamingToday Newsletter this week…
Full story tomorrow on GamingToday.com, but I’m giving you a sneak peek in today’s issue.
Last week we jumped on a UFC Fight Night for betting picks, and wow did we do well. Mickey Gall by submission +500, Mickey Gall +144, TJ Dillashaw live after round 1 (I got it at +220, others got it +800 after round 2 so I hope you hopped on that), and Dillashaw +550 by decision all cashed. Overall, we were 4-2 for a whopping 12.14 unit profit -- I wish every week was like last week.
GamingToday’s Exclusive Interview With PFL CEO Peter Murray
The Professional Fighters League is one of the biggest fighting organizations in all of MMA. Peter Murray and co. are reimagining the sport. I asked him a bunch of questions about scoring, PPV boxing matches, and much, much more. The full story will be live Friday morning.
PFL Interested In Potential Crossover Boxing Opportunities?
Peter Murray: “Next season we believe there is a role for Crossover In Particular Tied To PPV”
Erich Richter: “If we are talking about crossover appeal, is there any interest in a potential Jake Paul or Logan Paul style boxing match?”
Peter Murray: “I’m not gonna speak to the talent but absolutely in the terms of top talent looking to compete on a global stage. MMA is the priority -- but as I said -- crossover will be a part of the mix as well.”
PPV boxing match? Who wouldn’t want to see Clay Collard or Showtime Pettis vs. Jake Paul??
We cover all of this, plus issues with judges scoring in MMA, upcoming events, and way more in our interview with PFL CEO Peter Murray on GamingToday.com tomorrow!
Existing User Sportsbook Promotions
Each week I search the sports betting market for existing user sportsbook promotions. Sometimes they are awesome and other times they aren’t. Rest assured, you will not miss another “no-brainer bet” ever again.
DraftKings Sportsbook: The United States Women’s Soccer Team is -240 to advance to the knockout stage. This is an odds boost. On FanDuel, US Women’s Soccer to draw or win against the Netherlands is -240. DraftKings is boosting it to +100. Max bet is $50, be sure to opt-in before betting. This is awesome, take advantage.

DraftKings To Open Sports Betting Bars Across The Country
For the Conor McGregor Dustin Poirier fight, I wanted to go to a sports bar. Sounds like an easy task, right? It was actually a lot more difficult than you would think.
I got a group of my buddies together, called around to see who would be hosting the fight. To my surprise, my options were basically a sportsbook or Buffalo Wild Wings. Sure enough, I went to FanDuel Sportsbook in Atlantic City to watch the fight.
DraftKings is reimagining the way that we can access and watch all types of sports. Whether it is going to be a PPV match, international soccer, or the NBA finals. DraftKings plans to open sports betting bars. Initially, DraftKings will be launching these lounges/restaurants in Nashville and Detroit. With more to come.
