W. Virginia has first sports betting hiccup
Wheeling Island and Mardi Gras casinos in West Virginia have both suspended on-site and online sports betting due to a contract dispute with their platform provider BetLucky.com.
A statement from Delaware North, which runs both casinos, said in part, that they are honoring all resulted bets but not taking any new ones. No time frame was given for restoration. BetLucky had a similar message.
Right now in West Virginia, if you want to bet sports online, BetLucky is your only option. So you have no option.

Updated Odds to win the NHL Metro DivisionFrom OddsShark:
- Capitals +165
- Islanders +200
- Penguins +500
- Hurricanes +600
- Blue Jackets +700
- Flyers +20000
- Rangers +100000
- Devils +300000
Those bottom three teams are there because, yes, still seems mathematically possible for them to win the division, but since the teams ahead of them have games against each other and one of them will have to get points, I'm not sure it actually is possible. Please wager wisely.

- Mark Cuban's odds of winning the 2020 presidential election have moved from +10000 to +5000 according to OddsShark. That puts him even with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Oprah Winfrey. The favorite to win is still Donald Trump at +200. Is there any way to short the favorite?
