We Matter Too
American Bettors' Voice
Spanky’s Three-Legged Stool
Gadoon “Spanky” Kyrollas has introduced two important advancements into the U.S. sports betting landscape. The first was BetBash launched in August 2021 and is now about to celebrate its fourth year. This event was made for bettors by bettors and features networking, education, and fun. This was followed by the Sports Betting Hall of Fame, an institution to honor those individuals who have notably transformed the sports betting industry.
Now, Spanky, Billy Walters, and Richard Schuetz have united to form the third leg of this stool – American Bettors’ Voice. Since the passage of the PASPA in 2018, the sports betting industry has been hurtling forward with minimal input from the betting public. American Bettors’ Voice is a platform designed to ensure that the bettors in the U.S. have a voice that can help educate and shape the industry’s future.
