GMBL- UP OVER 50% from my last post 5 days ago
This was given an 11 price target (closed over that today) but I think this will be a good long term hold and here is why. The CEO/founder has been involved with online gambling since 1996(!!!). Also, their CIOJohn Brackens was an Activision Blizzard networks manager. They've been in purchase mode recently and bought ggCircuit, a B2B cloud-based management for LAN centers, a tournament platform, and integrated wallet/point-of-sale solutions for enterprise customers. ggCircuit has over 1,000 connected locations and has worked with enterprises such as GameStop, Dell, Best Buy and Lenovo as well as universities such as Ohio State, Syracuse and North Carolina. Their ggLeap product has over 60 million hours of usage by over two million unique gamers on tens of thousands of public gaming screens inside centers worldwide. Also, they bought Helix esports. Helix eSports owns five esports centers, including two of the five largest centers in the US, where they deliver world-class customer service, esports programming and gaming infrastructure. ALSO, they bought Esports Gaming League (EGL). HAS OVER 350K registered gamers. "EGL is a great addition to our growing operations and further strengthens our ability to execute on our three-pillar strategy," commented Grant Johnson, CEO of Esports Entertainment Group. "EGL technology underpins the esports programs for some of the world's best-known sports franchises, including the LA Kings, Philadelphia Eagles, and Arsenal Football Club. We plan to build on this strong foundation moving forward, driving near-term revenue growth and long-term shareholder value improvement." You see the trend, and there is more companies than I listed purchased in the past twelve months. Another thing to consider: -$4.3 Billion in Bets Placed on Super Bowl LV Online bets skyrocketing up by 63% with no signs of slowing -36 million more Americans can now legally bet compared to one year ago, with the addition of Colorado, Illinois, Michigan, Montana, Tennessee, Virginia and Washington, DC. How does this translate to this company? People are showing a willingness to bet and it's available to a wider audience than ever before. Here is what I posted before: Business: egaming platform for gambling and tournaments. They also have other gambling functions, I believe egames you can gamble on is something they just bought (lucky dino). They also partnered with the Philadelphia eagles to provide esport tournaments, last month I believe, first partnership with a professional team and an egaming gambling site(this was prior to SKLZ). More partnerships could lead to growth as no other professional franchises have a partnership yet for tournaments. Financials: heavy dilution this past year, just started generating revenue in Q3, negative net income. The company they just bought is internet gambling site they just bought had 21M in revenue last year, est 28M for 2021. Company has very low debt, biggest liability is warrant liability of a few million. 8M of cash on hand, could get through at least 2 quarters without any additional positive cash flow (potentially some more dilution i would imagine). Small institutional ownership (1%) but large insider ownership (35%) Financials drop Feb 20th, so some DD on this let me know what you think. This company is worth around 150M(on 2/8), for comparison draftkings is over 46B and cathie wood also entered this sector buying draftkings so this could be on her list also.
General Election Polling Discussion Thread (August 30th, 2020)
Introduction
Welcome to the /politics polling discussion thread for the general election. As the election nears, polling of both the national presidential popular vote and important swing states is ramping up, and with both parties effectively deciding on nominees, pollsters can get in the field to start assessing the state of the presidential race. Please use this thread to discuss polling and the general state of the presidential or congressional election. Below, you'll find some of the most recent polls, but this is by no means exhaustive, as well as some links to prognosticators sharing election models. As always though, polls don't vote, people do. Regardless of whether your candidate is doing well or poorly, democracy only works when people vote, and there are always at least a couple polling misses every cycle, some of which are pretty high profile. If you haven't yet done so, please take some time to register to vote or check your registration status.
Polls
Below is a collection of recent polling of the US Presidential election. This is likely incomplete and also omits the generic congressional ballot as well as Senate/House/Gubernatorial numbers that may accompany these polls. Please use the discussion space below to discuss any additional polls not covered. Additionally, not all polls are created equal. If this is your first time looking at polls, the FiveThirtyEight pollster ratings page is a helpful tool to assess historic partisan lean in certain pollsters, as well as their past performance. Several polls are in the field, so we won't have a full picture of the field until next week when more are expected to be released. Until then, here are the polls since August 16th.
Prognosticators are folks who make projected electoral maps, often on the strength of educated guesses as well as inside information in some cases from campaigns sharing internals with the teams involved. Below are a few of these prognosticators and their assessment of the state of the race:
Cook Political Reports - Charlie Cook's race ratings are well regarded in the political field, and he's been in the business for a while. Cook is known to incorporate both public and nonpublic (ie. internal polling) information in his projections. Also covers (and is perhaps better known for) Senate and House races.
Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball - Larry Sabato has also been in the political prediction business for a while now, and the team at the UVA Center for Politics has been fairly successful in past cycles. Towards the end of the election cycle, Sabato has a policy of making a call in each state, refusing to leave any race in the tossup category. Also covers Senate and House races.
Inside Elections - Inside Elections, run by Nathan Gonzales, is the successor to Stu Rothenberg's Rothenberg Political Reports, which used to be a part of Roll Call. This prognosticator did fairly well in 2018, though Rothenberg himself boldly (along with some other pundits) predicted in 2016 that Donald Trump's path to the presidency was nonexistent. Also covers Senate, House and Gubernatorial races.
Daily Kos Elections - Daily Kos Elections is the direct successor to the Swing State Project website, which merged with Daily Kos in 2010. Despite the liberal lean of the site as a whole, the Daily Kos Elections predictions tend to be fairly even-handed, if not even slightly bearish for Democrats. Presidential numbers aren't up yet but they have Senate, House and Gubernatorial races.
RRH Elections - Red Racing Horses Elections is a site founded by former conservative-leaning members of the Swing State Project community. Despite the conservative nature of the commentary, like DKE, the race predictions tend to be fairly neutral, if slightly bearish for Republicans. Like the Crystal Ball, RRH will call all races before the election so that none are left in the tossup category. The presidential rankings have not been published but they do cover Senate, House, Gubernatorial and Row Officer (statewide elected officials, such as state Attorney General, Secretary of State etc.) races.
Polling models are similar to prognosticators (and often the model authors will act like pundits as well), but tend to be about making "educated guesses" on the state of the election. Generally, the models are structured to take in data such as polls and electoral fundamentals, and make a guess based on research on prior elections as to the state of the race in each state. Below are a few of the more prominent models that are online or expected to be online soon:
FiveThirtyEight - after months of work, the model is live! 538's team of analysts have put together a beast of a forecast for 2020. It runs 40,000 simulations of the election and uses that data to come up with a projected winner out of 100 sampled outcomes. It also breaks down the projection to show potential electoral college results, popular vote share, tipping point state likelihood, and it can even be broken down into state-level analytics.
Princeton Election Consortium - this is the model run by Dr. Sam Wang, a neuroscience professor at Princeton University. This model has run in the past two cycles as well, though Sam Wang famously said he'd eat a bug if Donald Trump won the election because his model predicted no path to victory for the eventual winner of the 2016 election. Also includes projections for Senate and House.
JHK Forecasts - the earliest model on the scene this cycle. Jack Kersting's model is one of the newer ones this year and also includes projections for Senate and House.
The Economist - this is the model run by G. Elliott Morris, who previously had a midterm election model under The Crosstab.
Niskanen Center - Rachel Bitecofer's projection, which only seems to update a couple times a cycle. Part of this has to do with Bitecofer's central argument that there are generally no swing voters, and electoral fundamentals drive the outcome of the election. This was put to the test in the 2018 midterms, where Bitecofer very early on predicted a Democratic pickup of 40-45 seats in the House, which fell about where the election ended up.
Lean Tossup - a foreign model from Canada. This model did relatively well in the 2019 Canadian election, but this appears to be the first time they've tried forecasting the US Presidential election. Also includes Senate and House projections.
Primary Model - Helmut Norpoth's model does not actually change with inputs anymore. The outcome it predicts, stated as a 91% chance for President Trump to win reelection, is premised entirely on the primary vote totals in the New Hampshire and South Carolina primaries from earlier this year. Despite being a bit of an outlier against other models, this one was among the only to forecast that then-candidate Donald Trump was a favorite to win election in 2016, and has been applied to correctly predict the winner of 5 of the past 6 presidential elections.
Prediction Markets
Prediction markets are betting markets where people put money on the line to estimate the likelihood of one party winning a seat or state. Most of these markets will also tend to move depending on polling and other socioeconomic factors in the same way that prognosticators and models will work. Predictit and Election Betting Odds are prominent in this space, although RealClearPolitics has an aggregate of other betting sites as well.

FiveThirtyEight - this model isn't active yet (though Nate's been sharing some results from it, so it may be coming out soonTM ), but it's the original model from Nate Silver that debuted in 2008 and really kicked off this genre of race prognostication. For now, here's the polling aggregates that they've set up in lieu of a now-cast (which is likely not returning to the model this year). Will likely also include Senate and House projections like in past years.
Princeton Election Consortium - this is the model run by Dr. Sam Wang, a neuroscience professor at Princeton University. This model has run in the past two cycles as well, though Sam Wang famously said he'd eat a bug if Donald Trump won the election because his model predicted no path to victory for the eventual winner of the 2016 election.

Notes and Highlights of Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear’s Live Update November 2, 2020 Notes bymr_tyler_durdenand Daily Update Team Check your registration status, ballot status, or how to vote here! Note: Thank you to the people who have given awards to these posts but I do want to say: Please don’t spend money to give these posts an award or if you want to give thendonate it here instead. These people need your help more than I need awards. I guess if you are just spending reddit coins that you already have then that’s fine but don’t spend new money, donate it instead. Thank you all! Watch here:
1. Jobs: And now, today, company leaders and I announced Handle plans a $7.8M investment to add warehousing space in Jefferson County, and to increase employment by the end of 2021 with 80 high-paying jobs across its distribution and headquarters operations.
2. Utility Relief: It's our Healthy at Home Utility Relief Fund. We had announced this earlier, but we hadn't gotten the application process up and starting, so here's a few more details. For households with income up to 200% of the federal poverty level who have been economically impacted during COVID, we are providing $15M of CARES Act funding and assistance to help pay up to $500 for these families, for these households, past due utility bills. The maximum benefit is up to $500 for past due water or wastewater bills.
3. Vote: You could vote by absentee ballot, if you have an absentee ballot, and you have not mailed it- don't mail it, take it to a drop box. That's the best way to make sure that it is counted- take it there tomorrow, don't wait, take it and drop it off there to make sure your vote is counted, you requested that ballot. <...> If you haven't voted yet, and you're not voting by the end of today's early voting period, go tomorrow, but make a plan about when to go. And everybody shouldn't go just right in the morning. Wear your mask, make sure you wear it the whole time when you're there in case it's crowded.
4. Mask Up KY: Media Below
I want to address some news that we saw on Friday. And that was that in the past, there had been a presentation, given at the Kentucky State Police Academy that quoted Adolf Hitler and Robert E. Lee from what we can find thus far that individual presentation, we believe, was only given one single time to one single class, but it is absolutely and totally unacceptable. Unacceptable.There is no rationale or reason that is ever okay. And while we believe that this was done that one time six years ago, we’re not stopping there, we’re checking all training materials going back in time and looking at the present, and we are committed to making this right.
This is a deadly pandemic and for those that don't believe it takes people's lives are a big part of taking people's lives, there's almost 1200 families a day that have lost somebody.
So, another tough day but another opportunity to make sure that we're banding together to beat this virus. Remember, this week, if you are in a red county, let’s buckle down, let's do what it takes to lessen the virus in your community. It's up to you. It's up to me. It's up to absolutely everybody around you. This week, all the way through Sunday, let's make sure we're following that red zone recommendation guidance, We want to cancel as many public, private events that there are, don’t do gatherings of any size this week if you're in a red County, don't have people over to your house. Make sure that if you can work virtually, you do it. And employers, this is the best opportunity not to have it spread significantly throughout your facility. Please work with us on that. Support your local businesses this week: order carry out, curbside, takeout. Make sure that you reduce your in-person contacts by as much as you possibly can.
But I know we've had some folks that, again, whether it's real, that they have questions or not that ask, “Well, wait a minute, we already have all these mandates in place, but we continue to see our cases increase, why?” Well, places where we don't have certain mandates in place, are increasing at a higher rate, that's number one. And number two, our compliance with those mandates has lessened over time. So I just want to show you just a couple of graphs. The first one up here looks at cases by week; this is total new cases with a seven-day average between us and Tennessee. And I just chose these two because we're border states, we have a mask mandate and Tennessee does not. You could see that we were both at risk for a significant escalation back in July and that is when we put our mask mandate into effect. And you can see what we avoided in terms of cases that that state went through. And while there was a period of time where they began to decrease, what we are seeing is even in the escalation right now, having that in place has us at a lower rate.
Good afternoon Governor, it’s Karen. With elections tomorrow, do you have any concerns over electioneering potentially happening since lines are expected to exceed that hundred foot legal limit from polling entrances. And if so, what measures are being taken? -- There is some though we have not seen indications that there is a coordinated attempt out there. I saw an opinion from the AG’s office that I haven't had a chance to read saying, you know, hundred feet from the polling location is the front of the location and doesn't include people in line. I'm really concerned about that. People who show up in line to vote, should not have anybody trying to get their vote either in a positive or a negative way, when they are standing in line- that's not acceptable when you've shown up to cast that vote. We’ll be watching very carefully. And for folks out there, just don't do it, don't do it. Have a little human decency, leave people who have shown up to vote alone.
Hi Governor, it's Drew Gardner, I had a question about preparations for post-election events that may happen. New York City, Indianapolis, DC all preparing for civil unrest in the streets, has there been any discussions or preparations in Kentucky for the potential of seeing that here? -- Well we are monitoring, whether it's social platforms or others. Right now we are not seeing what other places are. We don't, at this point, anticipate a civil unrest that would cause any response.
Tomorrow I'm gonna be here at four, we’re only going to go about 20 minutes, I'm just going to give the COVID update because I know it's Election Day, we're going to do it virtually just like this.
Hi everybody, it's four o'clock at time we come together, Monday through Thursday, to remember that we're gonna get through this and we're gonna get through this together.
We're gonna get through what is a very difficult time in fighting this virus. We're going to make it. Remember we're going to make it but how many people that we lose between now and when we get this vaccine disseminated is going to be up to every single one of us. So we're going to need to do everything it takes as a part of Team Kentucky to protect those around us. I want to start tonight by thanking the Stonestreet elementary administration, teachers, and staff for their mask, thank you for working to keep your kids and each other safe during these difficult times. I want to start with some good news with our Fast Four at Four, then we're going to get into our COVID report which continues to show escalation of this very dangerous virus.
First, let's talk about some positive things that are going on in this Commonwealth. Number one is jobs. Today, amid the escalating COVID cases, and difficult news, we get to announce something really positive. The expansion of one of Kentucky's own tech startups. Making it additionally noteworthy, this company has been key in the fight against this pandemic. Healthcare asset network, doing business as Handle Global, helps healthcare providers and federal agencies manage their equipment supply chain, and other health care assets. The company was founded in Louisville in 2014, and is led by former healthcare providers and manufacturing and technology executives. Across the company's early years, Team Kentucky's entrepreneurial support system provided assistance to help Handle grow. And now, today, company leaders and I announced Handle plans a $7.8M investment to add warehousing space in Jefferson County, and to increase employment by the end of 2021 with 80 high-paying jobs across its distribution and headquarters operations. Let me pause, tell you how significant it is to see a Kentucky-based tech company scale up from startup, to a mid-size employer. Company's growth in just a few short years has been impressive, and I think it shows what we're going to be doing in Kentucky for years to come. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic Handle has helped guide healthcare businesses and government agencies, through its supply chain analytics platform, as well as through the sale of medical equipment especially PPE, personal protective equipment. Handle is part of more than 200 healthcare related technology service and manufacturing facilities in Kentucky employing over 30,000 people in our state. So congratulations to Handle Global. Thank you for what you've done during COVID and what you're doing. Thank you for the example of how the economy of the future is one that we can build from just one good idea, right here in Kentucky.
Alright second on our Fast Four at Four is more help for those with bills that can't cover, during this pandemic. It's our Healthy at Home Utility Relief Fund. We had announced this earlier, but we hadn't gotten the application process up and starting, so here's a few more details. For households with income up to 200% of the federal poverty level who have been economically impacted during COVID, we are providing $15M of CARES Act funding and assistance to help pay up to $500 for these families, for these households, past due utility bills. The maximum benefit is up to $500 for past due water or wastewater bills. For a limited number of households, you can pay up to $200 for past two electric or natural gas bills, up to two times. Apply at your local Community Action Agency. So to locate your community action agency called 1-800-456-3452 or visit www.capky.org. Applicants are going to have to provide documentation, including their most current utility bill, proof of arrearage- that's being behind in your bills, payment plan or disconnect notice for utilities, proof of social security number or permanent residence card or green card for each member of the household and proof of all members of the household income from the preceding month. Again, this is just another way, on top of healthcare, food assistance, the rental assistance fund, and of employment and that extra $400 that the state opted to provide, that not that many states did, that we are trying to help people make it through. So please, please, take advantage of this program, we want you to emerge from this not just healthy and resilient, but we don't want people coming out of it with so much debt that they can't dig out.
Alright, number three, vote. Tomorrow is Election Day, and we are on path, I believe, to break records in how this election is conducted. And you have had more ways to vote in this election than ever before and I want to thank Secretary of State Michael Adams, with reaching a bipartisan agreement with me to provide all of those various methods. You could vote by absentee ballot, if you have an absentee ballot, and you have not mailed it- don't mail it, take it to a drop box. That's the best way to make sure that it is counted- take it there tomorrow, don't wait, take it and drop it off there to make sure your vote is counted, you requested that ballot. You want to make sure it's in and counted so make sure you get it done in that way. We were able to vote early three weeks, including Saturdays and I think a lot of people enjoy that flexibility with their schedule. And then there's election day tomorrow. If you haven't voted yet, and you're not voting by the end of today's early voting period, go tomorrow, but make a plan about when to go. And everybody shouldn't go just right in the morning. Wear your mask, make sure you wear it the whole time when you're there in case it's crowded. Make sure you make that plan about when you're going to go and how you're going to get there. This is our opportunity to be a model for the rest of the country about what a little bipartisanship can mean. And when we make voting easier, more people than ever vote, and that's just good for democracy. And let me just add that I know that there are a lot of strong feelings by people about who they want to win on Tuesday night. And whether or not we know, Tuesday night, or not, who the various winners are on Wednesday, are still all Americans and we're still all members of this Commonwealth. The division we're seeing in our country right now is of great concern. This attempt to make each other the enemy is so disruptive when we have so many real enemies out there. We have a pandemic that is picking off our people and somehow politics has infiltrated our response to it, and how effective we can be at saving individuals around us. We have outside enemies, pick them, Iran, North Korea, Russia that want us as a country to fail and you know what? They don't really care who wins the election as long as we continue to fight each other. So let's remember Wednesday, where all members of this Commonwealth and we ought to try to act like it.
Alright. Before we get to the COVID report, I want to address some news that we saw on Friday. And that was that in the past, there had been a presentation, given at the Kentucky State Police Academy that quoted Adolf Hitler and Robert E. Lee from what we can find thus far that individual presentation, we believe, was only given one single time to one single class, but it is absolutely and totally unacceptable. Unacceptable.There is no rationale or reason that is ever okay. And while we believe that this was done that one time six years ago, we’re not stopping there, we’re checking all training materials going back in time and looking at the present, and we are committed to making this right. To our brothers and sisters in the Jewish community in Kentucky, this should have never happened. And we are committed- this administration is committed to making sure that not only does this never happen in the future, but that we repair any damage done in the past. You should never have to wake up to or see this news. I know I can never feel the type of impact that you feel from it but I've been meeting with community leaders, having called calls with others, making sure that we have the community as part of the solution here. And that we more broadly look to make sure that the training that we provide to those who are willing to go out there and be our law enforcement officers, is the absolute best training that helps us all to understand whether it's religions, cultures, or differences. Make sure that we don't lead or create conflict, but that we can, everybody in the law enforcement community, do the very best job for all of our people which I believe they truly want to do. And that we are training, the way we need to to get the very best results in every situation, which is everybody being as safe as they can be. We're not going to rest until we fix this. And we're going to continue to work to rectify, again, something that's absolutely wrong and unacceptable.
Alright, moving to our COVID report- Well let me just finally mention that meeting I had this afternoon on that topic, I really do appreciate, whether it was, an executive director from the community, or the number of rabbis that were in the call, thank you for all of your thoughts and your commitment to work with us, we really appreciate you. We really appreciate you and everything that you add to our Commonwealth.
This is a deadly pandemic and for those that don't believe it takes people's lives are a big part of taking people's lives, there's almost 1200 families a day that have lost somebody. Can you imagine that? We’re losing 1200 plus Americans, a day and we have some individuals that say, “Oh, it's not real.” You know, think about the amount of grief. There's crying out every day in this country and in this Commonwealth, based on those that we have lost- I hope that we are good enough people, regardless of the difficulty in dealing with this virus that we can say, “Oh my goodness. Our actions or inactions are resulting in a type of loss in my life that is inconceivable”, and is going to exceed every major war from the standpoint of lost Kentuckians that we have endured.
But I know we've had some folks that, again, whether it's real, that they have questions or not that ask, “Well, wait a minute, we already have all these mandates in place, but we continue to see our cases increase, why?” Well, places where we don't have certain mandates in place, are increasing at a higher rate, that's number one. And number two, our compliance with those mandates has lessened over time. So I just want to show you just a couple of graphs. The first one up here looks at cases by week; this is total new cases with a seven-day average between us and Tennessee. And I just chose these two because we're border states, we have a mask mandate and Tennessee does not. You could see that we were both at risk for a significant escalation back in July and that is when we put our mask mandate into effect. And you can see what we avoided in terms of cases that that state went through. And while there was a period of time where they began to decrease, what we are seeing is even in the escalation right now, having that in place has us at a lower rate. But remember, the distance between their line and our line, is a whole lot of people suffering from COVID-19 that some percentage ends up in the hospital, some percentage ends up at the ICU, some percentage ends up dead. The fewer cases we have, the more people we protect, and I think that shows you graphically, what that mask mandate has accomplished thus far. Now as our line gets closer to their line, we're not wearing our masks as much as we used to. The effectiveness of our mandate is how many people wear them each and every day so we need everybody to pick it up.
Let me show you a second one, and this is on deaths. Again, what we see is that the two states had a very similar experience in terms of lost lives, you know, it went back and forth early on and we don't wish for anybody to succumb to COVID-19. But you can see here again, the difference between when the mask mandate was put into effect and today, what the impact there is. When you have fewer cases, you lose fewer people. When more people wear a mask, you don't have as much spread so you have fewer cases. All these things that we have put into effect have an impact. How big of an impact they have is how well that we do. You know it's how many study tools we give to our kids has an impact on the grades they get. Whether or not they get an A or not, depends on whether or not they put those study habits and tools into actual practice. So we as government, like in many ways we as parents, can provide the tools and the structure, we can communicate the knowledge, and what it takes, then we need people to go out there and to do what it takes to make sure that we protect one another, and do the right thing. You look at where we are right now which is significant. Tennessee last week averaged 2,700 infections and 36 deaths per day, per day. We do not wish that on them, we do not wish that on anybody, but hopefully that will show everybody just a little bit about why we have these rules in place and also if we follow them, how much of an impact they can have. And we need it, we need everybody bringing their A game right now because today we're reporting the highest Monday that we've ever reported. In fact the last seven days, five of them were the highest that we've ever had on that given day. Remember Monday's not as many labs are working over the weekend, typically much lower numbers.
Positive cases today: 1,032
Probable cases: 17,442
Total confirmed cases: 109,670 - How quickly we've gone from 100,000 to almost 110,000
Total tests conducted: 2,076,257 (PCR: 1,926,140, Serology: 86,479)
Positivity Rate: 6.25% - That's the highest since June 1st. Remember those in the red zone, we need you, we need you to be following the recommendations. Right now, our school system recommendations are just recommendations, we say as long as the rate is below 6%, but we don't think that will have to change from recommendations if we see the vast majority of businesses, of government, of school systems and others actually following the advice, because if you don't spread continues, it gets amplified.
Total hospitalized: 7,205
Currently hospitalized: 988
Total in ICU: 1,736
Currently in ICU: 270
On a ventilator: 142
Total recovered: 18,516
New deaths today: 3
Total Deaths: 1,492
New deaths by county: 82 M Hardin, 93 M Jessamine, 59 M (a healthcare worker) Whitley
We're going to be reaching out to that family (the healthcare worker), to see if they'll allow us to talk about his incredible work and story- that maybe would help other people recognize, again, what we are dealing with. Let's light our homes up green, let's ring our bells at 10am. 1,492 Kentuckians lost. Early on in the pandemic estimates were even so much higher than that. But then we had everybody, you know, really in this together, and we can get there again. Oh they shrank way below this. So what we're seeing right now is avoidable death. So think about that when you hear about somebody that you know, losing somebody important to them. That what we're dealing with right now is avoidable loss.
Racial breakdown of all cases: 80.94% Caucasian, 11.22% Black or African-American, 1.58% Asian, 5.83% Multiracial
Ethnicity breakdown of all cases: 90.87% non-Hispanic and 9.13% Hispanic
Racial breakdown of all deaths: 84.22% Caucasian, 11.96% Black or African-American, 0.94% Asian, 2.88% Multiracial

Long Term Care Facilities (PDF): 57 new residents and 39 new staff positive from yesterday, and 26 more deaths, 26 new facilities. We're going to be providing an update on, especially the amount of testing that we're doing in the facilities right now. But I don't want to sugarcoat it. If we have a red county, we try really hard, but we can't stop the virus from getting in. If community spread is so much, so high- it gets into school, it gets into the long term care facility, gets in everywhere. That's why if we don't follow the red zone recommendations, the county just be lucky to come out of it, and dealing with the virus, I wouldn't want to bet on luck. It was a coordinated response that we ought to want to do.
Total facilities: 364
Total deaths: 898
Active cases: 1109 residents, 641 staff
Total cases: 6495 residents, 4536 staff
Day Care Facilities: 9 new facilities, 7 new staff, 5 new children. 353 facilities, 292 staff, 212 children,
So, another tough day but another opportunity to make sure that we're banding together to beat this virus. Remember, this week, if you are in a red county, let’s buckle down, let's do what it takes to lessen the virus in your community. It's up to you. It's up to me. It's up to absolutely everybody around you. This week, all the way through Sunday, let's make sure we're following that red zone recommendation guidance, We want to cancel as many public, private events that there are, don’t do gatherings of any size this week if you're in a red County, don't have people over to your house. Make sure that if you can work virtually, you do it. And employers, this is the best opportunity not to have it spread significantly throughout your facility. Please work with us on that. Support your local businesses this week: order carry out, curbside, takeout. Make sure that you reduce your in-person contacts by as much as you possibly can.
Alright, so today we're trying to do our part to lessen our contacts and that's why we're doing this press conference now entirely virtually. So as we open it up to questions we have some reporters who are going to be on the line, who are going to be able to ask their question directly. I'm only going to be able to hear it, and then respond to it so bear with us a little bit through it. And then I have about five written questions, and I will let Crystal Staley, who is our communications director, let me know when we have our first question.
Is Betting on fantasy sports legal in Ohio? Yes. Betting on daily fantasy sports (DFS) is legal in Ohio but there are a few important stipulations.

Will mobile sports betting be legal in Ohio? Yes, it is expected that the final version of the bill passed through the state’s House and Senate will allow for mobile and online sports betting. While this will not be definitive until the bill is officially passed, it appears Ohio residents will be able to bet online sometime next year. Unfortunately, until sports gambling bills are passed, land-based sports betting is not allowed in Ohio. Still, residents are able to take their sports betting interests online in order to bet on the sports that they crave. Though not commonly known, this is a form of legal Ohio sports betting as long as legitimate sites are used. The only current way to bet on sports in Ohio is via online international books like Bovada. For the full gamut of Ohio gambling laws, you can visit the official state repository § 2915.02 here. While there are no regulated sports betting options in Ohio, there are a number of offshore online bookies that are willing to accept Ohio residents. Ohio has a large number of professional sports teams that would drive the industry when it is eventually legalized. Both retail and online sports betting is expected to be offered in Ohio, but most of the final details have not yet been revealed.

While the US Supreme Court legalized sports betting in nationwide in 2018, it is up to the individual states to amend their own laws to allow for licensing and regulation. Ohio has yet to do so as While betting online in Ohio isn’t legal yet, it probably will be some day.
