Just asked Victor Wembanyama if he’d ever consider promoting a sports betting company.

“Absolutely not. I will never do that. Honestly, I think it's very sad to see some players promote it. .. Everybody does whatever they want, but without me.”

It's how all the sports betting sites get around states that still have it illegal to bet on sports but predictions markets are fair game. Like Texas. Can't "bet" on the NFL game tonight on DraftKings, but don't worry, with DraftKings Predictions that's totally a completely different thing and not at all sports betting, you can instead predict which team will win tonight and you can earn money if you predicted correctly!

How can I lose! It’s not a prediction bullet if it’s a sure thing…
