Episode 268: Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is

Rob Pizzola joins the show to discuss the impact of the NHL suddenly changing its stance on sports betting, how it becoming more and more socially acceptable in the mainstream has influenced the market, the pros and cons of wagering on hockey, the effect full-fledged tracking data will have once its finally publicly released, the emotional rollercoaster ride that is daily fantasy, and a variety of other related topics.
