Card counting isn’t illegal, but Vegas casinos will prohibit you from playing if they determine you are employing the practice. In that same vein, should sportsbooks be permitted to ban bettors simply for winning? That’s the raging debate at the moment according to David Purdum of ESPN, who joins @JoeFortenbaugh to discuss his article, “Won and done? Sportsbooks banning the smart money.” Download the BetQL app here: https://betql.co/ Read David’s article: http://www.espn.com/chalk/story/_/id/24425026/gambling-bookmakers-growing-us-legal-betting-market-allowed-ban-bettors [0:00-2:21]: The Rundown [2:22-23:19]: Interview with David Purdum of ESPN [23:20-goodbye]: The on-deck circle Guest: @DavidPurdum

The Jacksonville Jaguars busted loose for 10 wins and a trip to the AFC Championship game last season, but is Doug Marrone’s crew ripe for a regression in 2018? What do we make of returning injured quarterbacks DeShaun Watson in Houston and Andrew Luck in Indianapolis?

Are the Oakland Raiders still a hot commodity in the city of Las Vegas despite last season’s 6-10 campaign? Can the Chargers finally get out of their own way and take advantage of one of the most talented rosters in the league? Is Patrick Mahomes capable of protecting the football like Alex Smith, or will an uptick in turnovers lead to Kansas City’s demise? And what do we make of Case Keenum and the Broncos? Ed Salmons, Manager of the Race & Sports Book at the Westgate SuperBook in Las Vegas, joins @JoeFortenbaugh to answer those questions and more.
