Sinclair purchased the Regional Fox Sports...here's an article talking about their plans

The acquisition will see Sinclair capitalizing on the new U.S. sports betting market.

In addition to increased fan engagement and viewership, he expects $1.5 billion to $2 billion of new ad revenue industry-wide “in short order,” from sportsbook operators and other companies marketing in the space.

Ripley also plans to eventually allow viewers to place bets right from their screens during live games, similar to how fans can wager in Europe now.

“If you’re interested in gaming, we’re going to add on extra stats, the ability to do prop bets in the game, pitch by pitch, play by play,” he said. “You can play along and wager while you watch.”

The in-game, on-screen wagers, which it is currently exploring with its Tennis Channel, would be done in partnership with sportsbook operators, but Sinclair would not want to become a bookie itself.

Aren't all games, like most live events on a 5 second delay? so they can catch and cut foul language and other "opps!"

I'm sure someone will figure out how to work that into an advantage.

Yeah, you would have bet on Harvey and Cahill. 

No I would simply not be an over reacting crazy person

Me? Show me an example where my criticism of Eppler’s signing of Cahill and Harvey has been anything but rational. 

No, not you.

I'm not really into this whole thing people refer to as gambling, but I agree.

Yeah, this is where I am.

Reminds me of the ultimate scene in The Sting, where Paul Newman and Robert Redford are running the horse racing scam, on delayed radio broadcast.
