Sports Investing vs. Sports Betting - $11,434,995.24 in the First 23 Weeks vs. $0.00
"There is simply no way the leagues could ask for a percentage piece of gambling revenue..." - Jeff Ma
LOS ANGELES, March 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- With just over 23 weeks of public operation, AllSportsMarket (ASM) reports $11,434,995.24 in IPO revenues across the NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL sectors. Baseball opened trading Saturday March 7, 2015, ending the day with a record total market volume of 250,920 shares traded.
"The overwhelming response to our MLB IPO shows again just how much fantasy players as well as casual fans enjoy trading teams on AllSportsMarket. Splitting our revenues 50/50 with the league charities now opens the door to lucrative partnerships that benefit not only the teams but the fans as well. I can't wait for the day we get to see the ASM ticker symbol on every jersey, on every field." says Ace Underhill, ASM "Creator."
Bernie Nicholls continues "It's great to be able to give back and when you get a chance to give to the sports and leagues that make the world of sports what they are, it's a great feeling. As an ex pro athlete, giving back is something that needs to be done and the fact that our company is in a position to share revenues with the league charities is something that we had to do."
On Feb. 26, 2015, Jeff Ma wrote on ESPN.com "There is simply no way the leagues could ask for a percentage piece of gambling revenue, as this would result in a huge conflict of interest. In addition, asking for a percentage based on the overall handle (total amount wagered) will cut into the margin of the sports books too significantly."
There is a better way: The sports leagues can have the best of both worlds by embracing the concept of a "sports stock market" that will give them the revenue they are seeking without creating a massive disconnect with their fans. The world of sports investing is one well worth consideration and it is the future of fan engagement. As the old saying goes "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!" Regulated sports betting is just one of the many things that should stay there. Real money sports team investing is not here just yet... but it will become a reality with public support.
