Show Notes

Ahead of the 2022 US midterm elections, Brendan and Brandt take a look across the US, including a final examination of whether there's any hope of the people of California voting to legalise sports betting. In Texas, there may be less clarity as the industry may have to consider whether to prioritise sports betting or casinos, while Brandt is "optimistic" that sports betting legislation could be passed in Georgia once a new legislature is elected.


The pair look further afield as well, pondering the impact of Lula da Silva defeating Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil's presidential election, while in the UK, Brandt throws his name into the ring as a prime ministerial candidate, but Brendan has other ideas.
