Massachusetts Gaming Commission takes umbrage with "risk-free investment" sports betting suggestion by ESPN host Rece Davis. Matter sent for further review by Investigation and Enforcement Bureau.The Massachusetts Gaming Commission addressed two incidents of non-compliance by FanDuel and ESPN BET in an open meeting Thursday.
In March, ESPN’s Rece Davis raised a ton of eyebrows with the following statement on a “best bets” segment of"College Gameday": The commission voted to have the IEB conduct a formal investigation of this incident ahead of an adjudicatory review in front of the commission at a yet-to-determined date in the future.
“It’s an area that I as a commissioner am concerned about, this cross-pollination between ESPN commentators, the lines and the betting, and the commentary that they make,” said commissioner Eileen O’Brien. PENN actually had two agenda items to its name in regards to previous compliance violations. The second did not spark as much significant discourse as the Rece Davis comment though.
