Four years ago on a sweltering summer night in Jersey City, Bet Bash was brought into the world. It was born of one man’s vision to have a networking event that would be for bettors, by bettors. That man, of course, is Spanky. Since then the event has grown and we’re now on the verge of Bet Bash 4, Aug. 6-9 once again at the Circa Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. The fourth installment will will attract hundreds of new attendees. Some will be attending their first sports bettors networking event.

The next big thing in sports betting is about to hit us. If you haven’t heard of sweepstakes betting yet, you soon will.

Bump-stock devices, which are firearm accessories that allow semi-automatic rifles to fire more quickly, are a niche possession. They were used in the mass murder in Las Vegas in 2017 at the Route 91 Harvest Festival, and in the wake of that horror, their legality is up for debate. It is easy enough to understand why people with little interest in guns would take a dim view of firearm accessories that have helped to facilitate mass murder.
