    The Las Vegas Thread

    Which is why if you were to log onto any of the American betting sites currently offering NRL, which they are right now, they're not using any of that. All they're doing is presenting neutral, factual information about the league which is public information (the dates and times of the fixtures...

    The Las Vegas Thread

    And I'm sure PVL understands and does a better job in absolutely every area than I would, but I'm an Australian who has a relationship to US gambling market so I understand it. And personally I don't think PVL doesn't understand what I posted or isn't bad at my job, but there's a much more...

    We talking about Mike Cannon-Brookes? He spends most of his time worrying about climate change and software development, yet because he's a billionaire and put some money into sports among a million other investments, he's now a person with "decent knowledge"?

    The Las Vegas Thread

    Vegas could very well be a good move and some element of gambling sponsorship or whatever could be part of that ... That could very well make the Vegas expedition a break-even adventure with the upside of growing the game. No doubting that. Just that the maths dividing the overall size of the...

    The Las Vegas Thread

    I'm still trying to figure out how the NRL can gather any sort of meaningful gambling revenue from a presence in Las Vegas. They receive the money in Australia from legislation-driven product fee and integrity agreements...
