Many people have bet money on a college sports game or professional football game at some point. The NCAA March Madness basketball tournament is another popular event for betting.

But most people do not know how to bet the savvy way. They lack knowledge about what traits to look for in certain online bookmakers and which websites or platforms offer the best bonuses for the upcoming NFL season.

Fortunately, starting this week, a user-friendly new sports betting program is launching on platforms across the internet.

The How To Bet video podcast will hit the air on Wednesday, September 1, 2021. The show, which will broadcast weekly on Thursdays following the launch episode, features two of the most well-known multi-media personalities in the Tri-state area: Daryl Fein and Sean Miller. It is sponsored by the How To Bet website, which will run articles by Miller concurrent with the weekly shows: one for each Thursday nightSunday night, and Monday night contest, and another showcasing the odds for all games that week.

Fein has been the long-time voice of Rider University basketball and has served as the co-host of the Feinline on ESPN Radio for nearly two years. He is excited to work on the show and help build it up from the ground.

“I am really excited about the show,” Fein said. “We have a great blend of characters. We are going to have guests, we are going to do giveaways, it is going to be exciting. I am really looking forward to it, and I cannot wait to get started.”

Miller, sometimes referred to as “The Genius” on the program, has been with NJ Advance Media for nearly a decade, and is a major presence on prominent gambling websites. He also has experience in gambling podcasts and television programs, and brings a wealth of knowledge about the many sports he has covered over the years to the show.

The show can be seen and heard in plenty of different places, including Apple, Breaker, Castbox, Google Podcasts, Overcast, PocketCast, Radio Public, Spotify, and Stitcher. All video podcasts will be uploaded to YouTube, as well, on the How To Bet channel.

It can also be heard on 107.7 FM The Bronc (Rider University) and streamed on the radio station website. The station, run by well-known radio personality and General Manager John Mozes, was recently nominated for a 2021 Marconi Award for Best College Radio Station of the Year. Mozes and his student employees at the station, including Producer/Director Tiffany Hartman and Producer Trey Wright, will play an integral part in the show each week.

“We are thrilled to be working with the How to Bet podcasting team on this exciting audio and video project,” Mozes said. “How To Bet will provide the students of 107.7 The Bronc with a truly global engaged-learning experience and one of the most comprehensive real-world media opportunities available at Rider University.”

AGCO Fines Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto $350,000 for Serious Regulatory Violations Linked to Impromptu After-Party on Gaming Floor

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) has issued monetary penalties totaling $350,000 against Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto for multiple violations of provincial gaming standards. The penalties follow an impromptu after-party that was permitted to take place in the pre-dawn hours directly on the casino’s gaming floor.

On September 27, 2024, an electronic dance music event attended by thousands of people was hosted in the theatre adjacent to the casino at Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto. The event was marked by widespread intoxication, disorderly behavior, and numerous criminal and medical incidents – both inside and outside the venue – including alleged assaults, drug overdoses, and acts of public indecency. Although paid duty officers were present, additional police and emergency services were required to manage the situation.

In the midst of this high-risk environment, casino management approved an unscheduled request by the performing artist to host an after-party on the active gaming floor. The artist and more than 400 guests were permitted onto the gaming floor where the artist was allowed to perform amidst operational table games and gaming machines – without any prior risk assessment or planning.

As a result, security personnel were unable to effectively control the casino floor, including witness reports that an attendee was seen climbing onto slot machines. Failure to maintain appropriate control compromises the security, safety, and integrity of the casino floor. Following the conclusion of the event, the operator failed to promptly report these incidents to the AGCO as required.

Based on the findings of its review, the AGCO’s Registrar has issued an Order of Monetary Penalty (OMP) totaling $350,000 against Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto. These penalties address critical failures in their operations, incident reporting, employee training, and the management of disturbances.

A gaming operator served with an OMP has 15 days to appeal the Registrar’s decision to the Licence Appeal Tribunal (LAT), an adjudicative tribunal that is part of Tribunals Ontario and independent of the AGCO.

“Casino operators have a fundamental duty to control their gaming environment. Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto’s lapses in this incident compromised the safety of patrons and the security and integrity of the gaming floor,” Dr. Karin Schnarr, Chief Executive Officer and Registrar of AGCO, said.
