Well I’m back from a wildly successful trip to Las Vegas, but a bit upset that I will not be in Gainesville this weekend cheering on the Florida Gators against Ole Miss. I hope they can hear my screams from Fort Lauderdale. Next week, I’m back on the road and headed to Atlanta, where I will be supporting my client My Mixtapez at the A3C Festival and Conference. This week on FORBES: (1) Nevada Preps For Creation Of Sports Betting Investment Funds; (2) From Near Bankruptcy To Making Millions In eSports; and (3) New eSports Consultancy Built To Boost Sponsorship.
