ESPN has entered an agreement with @PENNEntertain to launch ESPN BET, a branded sportsbook in the U.S.

They are absolutely a threat to slant the way they report in order to influence betting.

If Georgia vs Alabama is Bama -3.5, they can influence their reporting to guide money, or bury injury news. This goes for any sport.

If I’m already signed up to barstool Sportsbook do I still get the ESPN first bet bonus?

I'm wondering will they just build it inside espn app being that so many people have it already.

A standalone app would work as well

If these Marvel flicks keep floppin get ready for ESPN brand liquor and cigarettes.

College gameday is about to be flagrant with the gambling agendas .

I don’t like this at all

Penn dumping Barstool for ESPN can't be good for the go woke go broke crowd

Gillie and Wallo like

The mouse getting desperate. Not so family friendly anymore, eh?

nikkas about to drop Donald Duck themed liquor next

I wonder how it will work for people living in goofy states where gambling is banned

Porntnoy won. Penn sold Barstool back to him. He has 100 percent ownership of Barstool. And he can go sell it to someone for billions if he chooses.

PENN needed this move. The stock was down 80% over the past two years.

Feels like a conflict of interest

 

[mastermind]

ESPN is already known for manufacturing drama/rumors to add to their content, it seems like a conflict of interest for them to have their own betting platform

Could see similar drama to what happened with Shams & FanDuel with his draft coverage

It’s akin to insider trading, but Americans don’t care about that anymore.

Feels like a conflict of interest

Fox had FoxBet and it went off without any controversy. Granted ESPN is way bigger, but there’s already been a precedent set.

Probably already been said in this thread but the McAfee deal makes wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy more sense now

Espn and Penn should've been ready by today
