ESPN Bet could be on life support a little more than a year into a deal between gambling operator Penn Entertainment and ESPN owner Disney.
During a recent earnings call, Penn CEO Jay Snowden hinted that his company could opt out of the $2 billion licensing and marketing deal if ESPN Bet’s underwhelming results don’t improve by the end of 2026.
That would be a shocking result for a deal that made big headlines and intended to disrupt the nascent US sports betting industry. So far, ESPN Bet is an also-ran performing not much better than its predecessor, Barstool Sportsbook. It has about 2-3% of the market by total money wagered and about 1% of all sports betting revenue. (FanDuel and DraftKings mostly combine for between 70-80% of the market by both metrics.)

Yep. 5 years before you plan on retiring you should go to a 50/50 portfolio.
In my opinion, the optimal time to buy depends on the number of shares you intend to purchase. If you’re aiming to implement (DCA) by buying 10 shares at a time, now might be the ideal moment to make your purchase. However, if you’re planning to buy 400 or 500 shares, it might be prudent to wait for the price to drop below $50. In real-world scenarios, this price drop could result in additional savings of a few thousand dollars.
Im curious, what do u see in nike? Am i missing something?
Good question, 4 years ago they were about $180 and have been down since. Their sneakers are ugly and uncomfortable lately. Footwear is where their biggest revenue comes from.
I tried to tell a friend of mine that companies like Decker Corporation, which owns Hoka, and other companies like ASICS, New Balance, and Sketchers have been encroaching on Nike’s market share for years, but he remains unconvinced.
The mall near me has a Nike outlet store, there are always lines to get in because the store is over crowded. You dont see that any any other store.
Why is the stock down 65% over the past 3 years? They’re losing market share.
You don't think that's marketing?
The stock stinks because for years Nike was engaged in bullshit and it has caught up with them. I'm wearing Vans because of their bullshit.
Nike had some funky looking Dunks that came out last week and I couldn't get them. It triggered me. I went ant bought a pair of Asics.
New balance and asics are trending and cheaper
i think bloomberg reported the exemption 1st. Bloomberg lately has been getting alot of news wrong lol.
i think they report what the administration says
its just that trump is fucking senile
I really wonder if the late 60s and early 70s were this bad under Nixon. Most of our parents lived through the Nixon administration, but they were just children or teenagers at the time and didn’t fully comprehend its impact. In contrast, our grandparents would have been affected by the Nixon presidency more.
The contracts they still have and can dish out
Their dividend payment (and the fact it has yet to be cut)
Maybe other companies gaining ground will force them to spend on innovation
Or maybe they acquire a competitor
All this can cause a bounce … or not. But if it can cool to buy a few Gs and get out after a nice bounce
