If we had held a sports betting writers convention at the turn of the century, we could have held it in my Saturn (how\u2019s that for a historical reference?).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I also believed, however, that sports betting was a legitimate beat, as much as covering any team or other part of the sports world. That\u2019s how I\u2019ve treated it in my stints at the Daily Racing Form and on my own <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/viewfromvegas.com\/\">ViewFromVegas.com<\/a> website, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/\">ESPN.com<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vsin.com\/\">VSiN.com<\/a>.

We were joined by Todd Dewey of the Review-Journal; Patrick Everson, formerly of Covers.com and soon to be starting a new gig in the burgeoning sports betting world; and Doug Kezirian of ESPN Daily Wager and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/chalk\/\">ESPN.com\/chalk<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We all shared from our perspectives how the industry has come to this point and how we don\u2019t see its expansion slowing soon. I made the point that the pandemic slowed growth only slightly, but it is picking up again. We\u2019ve all seen the sports world change to the point at which it\u2019s no longer surprising to see point spreads streaming across the bottom of our TV screens, and those odds and the Over\/Unders no longer need to be whispered vaguely under your breath, as Musburger and Al Michaels used to do.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As football season nears, we\u2019ll also see an avalanche of sports betting shows on TV and radio as well as online. It was so exciting to see and hear so many sports editors from around the country interested in devoting staff to sports betting coverage in their states \u2014 especially where it\u2019s legal. But even papers in other states see the interest in adding at least some sports betting content to their more traditional coverage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whos_game\"><\/span>Who\u2019s game?\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I was thrilled to receive a promo Monday from the New York Post that read, \u201cGaming can burn 200 calories an hour.\u201d For a long time, the casino industry has used gaming as a euphemism for gambling, and I thought this story had to be great <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>, especially with my wife always giving me a hard time for spending my whole day on the computer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So imagine my dis<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ointment when I clicked the link and the actual full headline read, \u201cVideo gamers may burn 200 calories in one hour of play: study.\u201d It wasn\u2019t about gambling at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I believe I get far more exercise from my daily involvement with sports betting than any gamer I\u2019ve ever seen.
