Sports betting cooling down amid slow summer

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:15:18 GMT

Less money is being wagered on sports each month in Massachusetts as the now-legal activity’s newness expires and the sports calendar has thinned out, but nearly $300 million wagered in July made operators more than $29.4 million in revenue and will yield $5.8 million for the state. The Gaming Commission said Tuesday that there was $294.9 million wagered on approved events that took place in July, down from $332 million on June events. The monthly handle in Massachusetts has fallen each month since online betting launched in March. The first month saw $568.2 million wagered, followed by $559.26 million in April and $454.9 million in May. As a result, the state’s take is also down. The high mark for sports betting tax revenue was set at $12.12 million in May. The latest figure as reported by the Gaming Commission is not a reflection of all the bets placed in July, but rather is the “total amount wagered on approved sporting events that occurred in the month of the r...

Federal Reserve minutes: Too-high inflation, still a threat, could require more rate hikes

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:15:18 GMT

By CHRISTOPHER RUGABER (AP Economics Writer)WASHINGTON (AP) — Most Federal Reserve officials last month still regarded high inflation as an ongoing threat that could require further interest rate increases, according to the minutes of their July 25-26 meeting released Wednesday. At the same time, the officials saw “a number of tentative signs that inflation pressures could be abating.” It was a mixed view that echoed Chair Jerome Powell’s noncommittal stance about future rate hikes at a news conference after the meeting. According to the minutes, the Fed’s policymakers also said that despite signs of progress on inflation, it remained well above their 2% target. They “would need to see more data … to be confident that inflation pressures were abating” and on track to return to their target. At the meeting, the Fed decided to raise its benchmark rate for the 11th time in 17 months in its ongoing drive to curb inflation. But in a stateme...

Orioles highly touted catching prospect Samuel is learning to handle the pressure with Aberdeen IronBirds

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:15:18 GMT

It’s difficult to completely shun the pressure that accompanies a résumé like Samuel Basallo’s.When the Orioles signed him out of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, on Jan. 15, 2021, he received $1.3 million, at the time the largest bonus the O’s had invested in an international prospect. He was 16 years old.Some are already dubbing him the ‘Dominican Adley Rutschman,’ playing catcher with a similarly imposing frame. Not to mention, now just past this 19th birthday, he has already scaled prospect boards from fringe MLB.com Top 100 to the 50th best prospect in baseball. The site rates Basallo as the No. 5 prospect in the Orioles’ system.Basallo was called up to Aberdeen from Low-A Delmarva on Aug. 1 and he may already be one of his team’s most versatile threats. In Tuesday’s 8-6 win over the visiting Wilmington Blue Rocks, he starred as the designated hitter. On Wednesday, according to manager Roberto Mercado, he’ll be a...
