Expert comments on the legalization of sports betting in Kentucky, highlighting it as one of many pivotal moments for the sports betting industry seen this year

Published

on

Caleb Tallman, a sports expert at WSN, provides his opinion on Kentucky’s announcement to legalize sporting betting and how they will fair in the wider industry:

“2023 is turning out to be a pivotal year in the world of sports betting. The announcement of Kentucky’s legalization follows not only the launch of Massachusetts in March but also the NFL vote in favor to keep sportsbooks open during games – all of which encompass a wider growing acceptance of sports betting that we’re seeing across the USA.

“Whilst Kentucky isn’t home to many major pro teams, we anticipate that the market will be very profitable due to the many popular college basketball and football teams in the state. Unlike many states, Kentucky will be able to participate in college betting which will certainly be a massive asset for the tax revenue of Kentucky.

“Despite the setup not being finalized until the latter end of the year, this launch is actually looking to be a fairly quick turnaround. Usually, you can expect operations to take up to two years to be operational. However, due to the already legalized horse racing betting, we foresee the state regulators being able to launch the sports betting system much quicker than usual, being up and running by the end/beginning of 2024.“

That being said, making sure those who choose to get involved with online betting do so responsibly is also important. Therefore, WSN has also provided some top tips on way in which someone can gamble more responsibly online and do so with their limits in mind.

5 Ways to Gamble More Responsibly Online:

  1. Set Spending Limits: Sportsbook apps will allow customers to set their own spending limits to help you prevent making rash decisions and go beyond your means when betting.

  1. Set Session Timers: Bettors can set clear session timers on the sportsbook apps to limit the amount of time you spend betting. This will help keep you aware of the amount of time spent on the app and minimise out-of-control moments when gambling.

  2. Take a Responsible Gambling Quiz: Those who are new and existing to gambling are encouraged to take one of the online quizzes available to help gamblers get a clearer idea of their relationship with betting. One quiz available is offered by the National Council on Problem Gambling.

  3. Understand Your Bet: Make sure you understand the odds and the house edge of the wagers you are making and be clear on your own risk tolerance. This comes from doing your research – knowledge is power.

  4. Know Your Limits: Treat your spending limit as an expense. Once it’s gone, it’s time to walk away instead of chasing your losses which can lead to bigger problems. Likewise, be cautious when mixing alcohol with betting as it can be harder to stick to your limits and edge over your tolerance.

FINAL NINE PLAYERS SET FOR THE 2025 WORLD SERIES OF POKER® MAIN EVENT® FINAL TABLE

Published

on

Out of 9,735 total entrants in the third-largest World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event in history, only nine players remain as the lineup is set for the 56th annual WSOP Main Event final table.

John Wasnock, Michael Mizrachi, Braxton Dunaway, Kenny Hallaert, Leonor Margets, Luka Bojovic, Adam Hendrix, Daehyung Lee, and Jarod Minghini will return to the Horseshoe and Paris in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Tuesday, July 15, with each player eyeing not only the $10 million top prize and WSOP Main Event bracelet, but a chance at forever solidifying their names in poker history. Duking it out over eight days of poker action, the resilience of the nine remaining players has earned them a seat at poker’s most prestigious final table.

Action at the 2025 WSOP Main Event final table will begin at 1:30 P.M. local time and will play down to four players, with the final day of the tournament set for Wednesday, July 16, starting at 1:30 P.M. local time. 

A historic WSOP Main Event final table that includes not only a four-time Poker Players Championship winner but also the first woman since 1995, poker fans around the world look forward to a highly anticipated conclusion to the 2025 WSOP Main Event.

2025 WSOP Main Event Final Table Chip Counts:

John Wasnock (North Bend, Washington, United States) – 108,100,000 Chips

John Wasnock, 50, is a poker player from North Bend, Washington who will be proudly representing the Evergreen state at the WSOP Main Event final table as the overall chip leader. Owning over $143 thousand in live tournament earnings, Wasnock’s largest career cash of $56,330 has been far surpassed with his performance in the Main Event.

Michael Mizrachi (Las Vegas, Nevada, United States) – 93,000,000 Chips

Michael Mizrachi, 44, is the most decorated poker player to reach the 2025 WSOP Main Event final table. A seven-time WSOP bracelet winner, Mizrachi has already had a historic summer, winning his record fourth Poker Players Championship title. On the cusp of adding a WSOP Main Event title to his already long list of poker accolades, taking down the 2025 WSOP Main Event would add $10 million to Mizrachi’s already impressive live tournament earnings total of just over $19 million.

Braxton Dunaway (Midland, Texas, United States) – 91,900,000 Chips

Already having a WSOP bracelet to his name, Dunaway won the $1,500 Monster Stack for $1,162,681 during the 2023 WSOP. Dunaway’s $1.5 million in live tournament earnings could increase tenfold by winning the $10 million top prize in the 2025 WSOP Main Event.

Kenny Hallaert (London, England, United Kingdom) – 80,500,000 Chips

Kenny Hallaert, 43, is a Belgian professional poker player residing in London, England. No stranger to success on the felt, Hallaert has racked up a number of poker tournament titles across poker tournament series around Europe, contributing to $5.9 million in live tournament winnings across his career. Still seeking his first career WSOP bracelet, Hallaert’s first title won in the United States could be the biggest one of them all.

Leonor Margets (Barcelona, Spain) – 53,400,000 Chips

Leonor “Leo” Margets, 41, is not only the last woman standing in the 2025 WSOP Main Event but is also the first woman to reach the WSOP Main Event final table since 1995. Hailing from Barcelona, Spain, Margets is not new to success at the WSOP, having won her lone bracelet in the $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em Closer for $376,850 in 2021. With over $2 million in live tournament winnings, Margets looks to not only add $10 million to her career total but also become the first woman to ever win the WSOP Main Event.

Luka Bojovic (Vienna, Austria) – 51,000,000 Chips

Luka Bojovic, 37, is a Serbian doctor and poker player residing in Vienna, Austria. A member of the Pokercode collective, Bojovic’s largest career score of $134,617 came from his eighth place finish in the 2024 WSOP Europe Main Event, contributing to his live tournament career winnings total of over $700 thousand. Winning his lone piece of WSOP hardware by taking down the Monster Stack event at the 2024 WSOP International Circuit series in Marrakech ($45,600), Bojovic is in contention to win the most prestigious poker trophy of them all
