‘Play Ball!’ Means Business for Eager Sports Betting Industry by Tripp Baltz and Sam McQuillan of Bloomberg Tax

Century Casino in Cripple Creek, which is partnering with Circa Sports to run its sports betting operation, recently reopened for slots and other games, but isn’t planning to have an in-person betting parlor for sports gambling, said Eric Rose, the gaming hall’s general manager.

Still, since its revenue-share arrangement for sports betting with Circa brings in some money, it’s looking forward to major games coming back, Rose said. ‘In the last few months I personally have watched more NASCAR than I usually do,’ he said.

Circa Sports sign of things to come by Buck Wargo of Gaming Today

CEO Derek Stevens said it’s fitting that Circa Resort & Casino finished installing a sign at the top of the 44-story tower on the opening day of Major League Baseball.

How do the expanded playoffs impact AL and NL championship odds? It’s very much the same answer as the World Series question. Chris Bennett, sportsbook manager for Circa Sports, said the bottom-rung teams saw adjustments, but there were virtually no changes to any other teams.

‘I tightened the odds on some of the worst teams – the (Baltimore) Orioles, (Pittsburgh) Pirates, (San Francisco) Giants. Nothing drastic,’ Bennett said, noting those teams were among those adjusted in World Series futures, too.
