In-Game Betting: The Future of NFL Scheduling and Player Rest

well and it's all flowing from this ongoing push for more Standalone games they're laying the foundation for in-game betting you get one game on you get people locked onto their phones they're making the wages throughout the game that's where the ball is moving so more Standalone games allows people to kind of collectively gather and they like the big numbers that come from The Prime Time games but if you're going to have games you know six days of the week for the Chiefs for example as one coach told me last week we need to have a second buy before we get before we even get to 18 games we need a second Buy you can't move these teams around like this and have only one week off when you're going to play those and it's not playing I'm not saying in a pejorative way they're playing games if they're going to advance this business objective of having games every day of the week and I think it's coming where it's going to be Tuesday and Wednesday as well it's just a matter of time on a regular basis they'll do it once they cross that bridge of oh it's no it's no difference to the players Sunday to Sunday versus Sunday to Thursday once you accept that as true play the games whenever you want it out work out the schedule we the games on Sunday then Saturday then Friday then Tuesday then Wednesday then this then that and we get all these Standalone games but you got to find a way to give teams more rest if you're going to do that's what it is more rest the extra bye you know will be the thing I think we'll hopefully give them a little more wiggle room to figure out hey you know we could play this team on a you know a Monday night and then have them come back and play you know the next Wednesday or Thursday or whatever
