The NFL has announced that it is officially teaming up with 3 sports betting operations.
The National Football League has signed deals with multiple partners in the sports betting universe, it announced on Thursday.
According to Front Office Sports, the NFL has inked multi-year contracts with Caesars Entertainment, DraftKings, and FanDuel, making them official SportsBook partners.
Per NFL.com:
As part of these multi-year agreements, all three partners will have the exclusive ability to leverage NFL marks within the sports betting category and activate around retail and online sports betting. They will also engage with fans through NFL-themed free-to-play games.
Additionally, Caesars, DraftKings and FanDuel will have the right to integrate relevant sports betting content directly into NFL Media properties including NFL.com and the NFL App. DraftKings and FanDuel will enhance their fan experiences with NFL highlights, footage and Next Gen Stats content. Caesars and the NFL will collaborate on integrating NFL content into Caesars platforms as well. Caesars, DraftKings and FanDuel will all use the NFL’s official League data feed.
Finally, in support of the NFL’s commitment to protect the integrity of the game and its fans, all three partners have agreed to adhere to the NFL’s core integrity policies, and will collaborate with the NFL on intelligence sharing, advocacy efforts, and responsible gaming education.
This move shows how far times have changed not only over years but decades. Sports wagering was once taboo for any league to be associated with on any front, let alone a partnership.
However as more and more states are allowing legal wagering, the NFL has gotten on board with a platform that is full-steam ahead and has momentum growing by the minute.

stevek is going to hit the roof when he sees this thread. Steve, if you're reading this message, just back away from the computer and take a break for a minute.
I don't mind discussing it at all, because they ain't getting a penny of my money. LOL
The NFL needs to find ways to make more money
A respectful question Steve. Do you invest in stocks ?
I know you don't mind discussing it. You know we have to give you a hard time about this subject.
Doesn't bother me at all. However I do feel sorry for the upcoming group of innocent folks who are going to get burned thinking they can beat whatever it is the NFL will be offering.
Owning stocks can be investing or gambling. The investing aspect of stocks of placing money into mutual funds with a proven track record, or putting together a solid personal portfolio of growing companies, and holding it for the long term is smart.
The gambling aspect of stocks is known as day trading, which isn't smart.
Yes, because the billionaire owners and multi-millionaire players don't have enough money. LOL
Well, I’m not going to get into it because it’s not worth it, but there are quite a few successful day traders and to a lesser extent gamblers.
Day and swing trading is a gift. Just like throwing a fastball 95mph is a gift. Either you have it or you don’t, and I can’t throw a ball 95mph.
The big money in day trading stocks isn't in the buying of them, it's in the selling of them. IE Day trading firms who offer their services have gotten filthy rich over the years.
It's like Draftkings revenue was 644 million dollars last year. You do realize where that money came from, right?
Draftkings and daytrading firms are rich because they prey on the unexperienced trader or gambler.
There are professional day traders and gamblers who are doing quite well thank you very much.
The Dow, S&P, and Nasdaq are up about 60-75% since last April. My account is up 80%, and I haven't held a stock for past three months. I do all my trading. This year has been a slow year so far as I'm only up 7% on day and swing trading, but the Dow, S&P, and Nasdaq are about the same, but I'm not happy where I'm at so far.
I've always been successful at the stock market. Just like others are very successful at baseball, bowling, or getting the chicks. It's a gift. I recognize it, and use it to help my family, and I always give 10% or more to feed the poor, which is the first thing I do with the funds. 25% goes to Uncle Same, 10% goes to the poor, and the rest goes towards my children. I have no desire to get rich or use the money to get more stuff for myself. It's all about getting money to do good.
Money can be a cruel master, but money can be a good servant, if your desire is to use it well for others.
If it's your Master, where all you think about is how money can help you, then you are doomed for failure.
Sorry doubled for derailing your thread. I said I didn't want to discuss it, but I spilled the beans.
Now back to your regularly scheduled program.
DD actually encourages the derailment of his threads. 😉
😂😂😂
Yes, this is true, I encourage derailment of threads. It is one of my many pleasures. I like to sit back, relax, and enjoy seeing how far off subject a thread can go, so enjoy yourselves, but remember, I'll be listening.
Well let me just say thank you to you guys because I just finished a trade and I get to look on this page and get a
few laughs. Appreciate it.
Let me see if I got this right.
The people who can control the outcomes of games are working with people that make money depending on the outcomes of games so they both can make more money depending on the outcomes of games?
Nothing good can come from this.
Over the years, there's been a number of game fixing scandals in Europe and elsewhere with similar circumstances.
Ya gotta wonder how many additional fixes actually took place, but the perpetrators never got caught.
The NFL had it all, but it seems that wasn't good enough. It's called insatiable greed.
It's not a question of if game fixing will occur, but how much - that's my opinion.
Players have to be bought, and many have. It's all up to the players.
Some players have been threatened, i.e., the pitcher in the black sox scandal.
In other news, Pete Rose was just named the new commissioner of MLB.
I put all my money in DOGE. I'm gonna be a millionaire.
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
Is it true that Pete Rose used the bullpen phone to make bets? I've heard this in the past.
You know, the phone managers use to call the bullpen.
Might be interesting the third base coach signaling to the batter. One signal might be, "Please swing and miss at the next pitch, I've got 10k riding on it" - LOL
Grote is gonna be rich, and then try to corner the market in 1975 Topps unopened packs. 😉
A card you might want to look into Steve for your collection, it is a 2011 Leaf Rose-isms 1/1, and Pete inscribed it. It's only $3,000, but it would an awesome item to own. Here is a photo and the link. You don't have to thank me, I'm glad to help out a fellow collector.

With the proliferation of gambling, and acceptance by professional sports, for a number of reasons, Pete Rose cards, particularly his already popular rookie card, might be a heckuva long term investment.
Yes, this puppy is $39,999 right now on the Bay. Not too shabby!
