Guaranteed Sports Betting Wins 😂

How much damage could you do to a sportsbooks if you had a time machine? You’d clean them out. Well, this sportsbook in Atlantic City is under fire for creating a similar situation.

William Hill Sportsbook has been hit with a $20,000 fine for accepting $25,000 in bets on games that were already over.

The violations included:

  • 42 bets on finished college basketball games in 2022

  • Wagers on two boxing matches that started earlier than advertised

  • About $5,000 paid out before the errors were discovered

This isn't Atlantic City's first post-game betting incident. Previous cases include:

  • Kambi Group and Rush Street Interactive fined $1,000 each for taking bets on a finished British soccer game

  • bet365 fined $33,000 for accepting wagers on completed basketball, golf, and MMA events

William Hill blamed their content supplier OpenBet for the errors. Hmm…

With NIL playing a major role in player movement, this three-week window has become one of college football's most crucial periods. You can check for live updates here.

How NIL Is Shaping NCAAF

Key numbers:

  • NIL market growing from $917M (2021-22) to projected $1.67B (2024-25)

  • Half of top-10 NIL valuations belong to SEC players

  • Top earners:

    • Shedeur Sanders (Colorado): $6.2M

    • Travis Hunter (Colorado)

    • Arch Manning (Texas): $5M

The landscape is changing rapidly on two fronts:

  1. New 12-team playoff format debuts (Oregon leads the field)

  2. NIL continues reshaping recruitment and retention

Looking ahead:

  • Pending NIL settlement and House vs. NCAA case could allow direct university payments

  • Republican-controlled Congress may act to preserve elements of amateur model

  • Sen. Ted Cruz prioritizing NIL reform as incoming Commerce Committee chair

LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne's fourth-place ranking in On3's NIL Top 100 shows the opportunities extend beyond football, though concerns about athlete exploitation remain.
