New York takes in record $1.6 billion in sports betting handle in January

​

It didn't take long for New York to establish itself as the biggest sports betting market in the United States -- only 23 days, in fact.
The Empire State took in a record $1.62 billion in mobile sports betting wagers over the course of January, the state's first month with mobile sports wagering. Sports betting had been legal in New York since July 2019, but limited to several upstate casinos -- and bets had to be made in person.

The previous monthly handle record had been held by New Jersey, with $1.3 billion in wagers in October of last year.

New York opened its mobile sports wagering on Saturday, Jan. 8 with four operators -- DraftKings, Caesars, FanDuel and Rush Street Interactive -- and is now up to seven live operators.
Caesars Sportsbook had the most money wagered, with $615.5 million, followed by FanDuel ($501.8 million) and DraftKings ($367.6 million).
Sports betting is now legal and operational in over 30 U.S. states.

Ray Dalio is calling for some form of civil war . That dude is getting darker and darker . He's got a new book out. Damn, some of those quotes below r applicable today


Dalio, the billionaire founder of Bridgewater Associates, said that both the left and right are “fighting to win at all costs,” eliminating moderates and the ability to compromise as a result. He said that a “loss of truth” in the public domain was making some people “too afraid” to speak up or run for public office.

“The biggest question is how much the system will bend before it breaks,” Dalio said. “History shows that the biggest risk to democracies is that they produce such fragmented and antagonistic decision making that they are ineffective and disorderly which leads to bad results and revolutions.”

Other Key Quotes:

• “The current financial conditions and irreconcilable differences in desires and values are consistent with the ingredients leading to some form of civil war.”

• “Not knowing what is true because of distortions in the media and propaganda increases as people become more polarized, emotional, and politically motivated.”

• “When the causes that people are passionately behind are more important to them than the system for making decisions, the system is in jeopardy.”

• “When winning becomes the only thing that matters, unethical fighting becomes progressively more forceful in self-reinforcing ways.”

• “In the 2022 elections we will see losses by moderates and gains by extremists/populists as each of the parties will have fights between the moderates and the extremists that the extremist-populists will win because each side want fighters not compromisers and moderates will also choose not to run.”

• “The Supreme Court will make decisions on contentious issues that people are willing to fight over. There is a big risk that each side will view the decisions as unfairly made by the other side and not accept them, which will lead to tests of power.”

• “The most obvious clear marker of going into a bad civil war is people dying. History shows that when people start dying in conflicts – even just a few of them – that one expect much worse because then emotions and the need for retributions fuel more fighting.”
