An English sports betting company has reached a major sponsorship deal with the St. Louis Cardinals.
As of Monday, bet365 is the official mobile sports betting partner of the team. The financial terms and length of the deal were not disclosed.
“We are thrilled to welcome bet365 as the club’s official mobile sports betting partner,” team President Bill DeWitt III said in a statement. “This partnership adds a new and exciting element to the fan experience which can be activated at Busch Stadium or any place that fans watch and follow Cardinals baseball.”
Bet365 will have advertising throughout Busch Stadium as well as on the radio and online. An all-inclusive section of the park will now be known as the bet365 bridge.
The company said it was “excited to bring a world class mobile sports betting experience to the Show-Me State.”

Yawn.
What was the point of this post? Or you just felt the need to insert yourself into something you don't care about just for attention?
Actually, sdaltons, it was in response to news about
bet365. I don’t really care. That’s all. But I do care about opening day on Thursday. We all have our biases and opinions on things. Freedom of expression in this country. Right?
If you don't care, I guess I just don't understand the need to tell everyone you don't care. I skip many, many threads on this forum. Can't imagine feeling the urge to open each just to let other readers know I'm not interested in that subject.

So the Cardinals ownership is now actively promoting bets that lead to taunts and even threats against players. Let's see Cranny defend this.

Exactly. Gambling (specifically sports betting) should be more accessible, not less.

I have never bet on sports, I don't approve of betting on sports. Baseball gets dirtier all the time.
Can't legislate morality.
The fact that the pro teams spent a fortune on ads to get this passed shows that they are all in on profiteering any way they can.

It still baffles me when folks are shocked/outraged/disgusted when professional sports team owners make moves to increase profits. They will always choose that path, or they will be replaced.

Definitely. And we’d all do the same if we were them.

Fredo has little interest in what goes on "on the field" other than it's affect on attendance, he's the numbers guy and only cares about the bottom line.
Like ABIII, who hated the Cardinals, hopefully he sells the team when he becomes the boss.

That's what I'm hoping for.
I’ll be shocked if even a penny of the money from this “venture” will be re-invested into the team.

Yeah right!!!
What we heard when they pimped the New Stadium, Last TV Deal, Ballpark Village etc etc etc.
We won't see a nickel of it pumped into player assets.
This - they’ll pocket every last cent of it just as we predicted before sports gambling was legalized.
