Atlas World Sports, the fast-rising hub for sports betting data, odds comparisons, and fantasy contests, announces today that longtime Las Vegas-based handicapper and broadcaster Gary Greene has joined the company as its official NFL and College Football Ambassador and Lead Betting Analyst for the 2025 season.

For more than three decades, Greene has been a fixture in Las Vegas sportsbooks and on the airwaves, publishing the Bluebook Football Betting Magazine and hosting the city’s longest-running sports radio show. He has built a reputation as a trusted voice who educates bettors while delivering sharp analysis on all sports.

Each week, Greene will deliver NFL and college football coverage for Atlas World Sports, including:

• Stock Up / Stock Down analysis of teams and players
• Bad Beats, Biggest Disappointments, Deceiving Boxscores from the previous week
• Major Line Movers of the week
• Exclusive Hot Trends for the upcoming week

“Welcoming Gary Greene to Atlas World Sports is a game-changer for our platform and our community,” said Robert Kraft, CEO of Atlas World Sports. “Gary’s decades of experience, proven track record, and genuine connection with sports bettors perfectly align with our mission to empower bettors with insight they can trust. With Gary’s guidance, our users will have even more tools at their disposal to make smarter bets.”

Gary Greene added, “Sports betting is about more than just numbers. It’s about reading the market, spotting opportunities, and offering fans actionable advice. Atlas World Sports shares that vision, and I couldn’t be more excited to bring my experience to their audience for the NFL season.”

Atlas World Sports is often described as the “Expedia for Sportsbooks,” helping users compare odds, promotions, and bet types across multiple platforms. The app integrates with major operators, including DraftKings, FanDuel, Caesars, BetMGM, and Hard Rock, and leverages AI to deliver personalized recommendations, value bets, and smart alerts.

With partnerships already in place with the NBA, NFL, MLB, PGA, UFC, and others, the company recently secured investment from Starkel Capital Management as part of its ongoing Series A fundraising, positioning it for continued growth in both the sports betting and fantasy markets.

The American Gaming Association (AGA) released new research showing strong sentiment that sports events contracts offered through prediction markets—online platforms where users wager on the outcomes of future events—should be regulated in the same way as other forms of legal, state-regulated sports betting. The study also shows that the public overwhelmingly view them as a form of gambling that requires oversight.

Key Findings:

• Americans overwhelmingly recognize sports events contracts as gambling, not financial instruments. 85% say sports events contracts are most like gambling, while only 6% believe they are most like a financial instrument.
• Most Americans want sports events contracts regulated like other forms of sports betting. 80% say that sports event contracts should be regulated like other online sports betting and 65% believe these bets should be overseen by state and tribal gaming regulators, not the federal Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
• Adults agree that sports events contracts should only be offered by state-licensed sportsbooks. 84% of Americans, and 69% of sports bettors, say that sports events contracts should only be available in state-licensed sportsbooks in the states where they are offered. 69% of Americans believe each state should have a say on whether sports events contracts can be offered in their state.
• Americans recognize prediction platforms offering sports event contracts are skirting the law. 70% say prediction platforms offering sports event contracts are exploiting loopholes to act as unlicensed sportsbooks.

“This research has made it clear: Americans know a sports bet when they see one—and they expect prediction markets offering sports event contracts to be held to the same rules and consumer safeguards as every other state-regulated sportsbook,” said AGA President and CEO Bill Miller. “This underscores the need for the CFTC to enforce and uphold its own regulations that prohibit gaming contracts, and for Congress to use its oversight power to ensure prediction markets are not used as a backdoor for gaming.”

With sports betting currently operational in 38 states and Washington, D.C., AGA’s research emphasizes the need for consistent oversight of emerging gaming products to maintain consumer trust and uphold responsible gaming standards.

Methodology
YouGov, on behalf of the AGA, conducted an online survey from August 1-8, among a nationally representative sample of 2,025 registered voters. The margin of error is +/- 2 percent and greater among subgroups.
