ESPN, Penn Entertainment partner on sportsbook

Penn will rebrand its current sportsbook to ESPN BET this fall in the 16 states where it is licensed after a licensing deal was reached Tuesday.

"Our primary focus is always to serve sports fans and we know they want both betting content and the ability to place bets with less friction from within our products," ESPN chairman Jimmy Pitaro said. "The strategy here is simple: to give fans what they've been requesting and expecting from ESPN."

Thought this was going to be a new ESPN network designed for folks who look like @Black Dean

It didn't take Penn long to find a new partner after they separated from Barstool recently

I'm pretty sure they've been trying to get with ESPN for a while and I bet they were pretty transparent with Portnoy in this and with the hate between ESPN and Portnoy, I am sure ESPN said you have to cut ties with him if you want to make a deal with us.

Never used it but have heard the Barstool Sportsbook app sucked and they never really took off. Probably wanted a fresh start

ESPN being the main source for sports news and people making bets with ESPN based on said news seems like a recipe for disaster

Penn dumped Barstool like it was an oversized tube TV.

Portnoy is an oddball 90% of the time but you have to respect selling your brand for $500 million, then getting it back for free in 3 years

He walked in like a pimp slapped Penn around and put his balls on their chin before leaving.

And you get 50% if you sell it again?

I fully expect this new app to suck donkey balls like everything else ESPN does nowadays

It'll probably keep trying to get you to bet on the WNBA.

 

[Bootleg11]

The barstool betting app was not good.

That being said, I also won't use the ESPN Bet app because I just don't like ESPN that much.

FWIW when the WNBA season started a couple months ago, someone on Twitter made a large amount 6 person lineup on PrizePicks, picked under on all points and it hit 🤣

For the last 3/4 years I felt Disney needed to buy a casino for the sports book. Felt like this was an obvious pairing with ESPN.

Now Disney is in the shitter.

Is it suspicious though that they make the lines and now you can bet through them too?

Every bookmaker makes their own lines to try to even out the money

I thought Penn meant Pennsylvania University and was very confused.
