DraftKings' latest Super Bowl prop bet is only for the most confident gamblers
Since the U.S. Supreme Court overruled the ban on sports gambling in 2018, sports betting has infiltrated the country — and fast. Sports gambling is now legal in nearly 40 states, and ads for the different sportsbooks are all over social and traditional media. Even ESPN — the sports brand of the children-friendly Walt Disney Company (DIS) - Get Free Report — already opened its own sportsbook after rebranding the Barstool Sportsbook to ESPN Bet. But while there are active efforts to curb the degenerate gamblers, there has been a reported rise in calls to these gambling hotlines as the accessibility of betting is as easy as a few clicks on the a smartphone. The sheer volume of things to bet on, no matter how silly, also offers an enticing proposition for gamblers.Related: Popular sports betting app sees stock spike after bold moves DraftKings (DKNG) - Get Free Report, which is one of the top two most popular sportsbooks in the country together with FanDuel, is offering one bet that shows just how far some people will go to place a bet. The app is currently allowing users to place bets on a player who scores a touchdown in Super Bowl LVIII — even if the National Football League playoffs have not yet started, 14 teams remain alive in the standings, and the Super Bowl itself is still a month away. The bets are for a "Super Bowl Anytime Touchdown Scorer," which means gamblers can bet on a player to score a touchdown at any point during the Super Bowl, and "Super Bowl First Touchdown Scorer," which bets that a player will score the first touchdown of the entire final match. A look at the DraftKings bet for "Super Bowl Anytime Touchdown Scorer." Colin Salao These bets include players from all 14 remaining teams — and the app says "all bets action" meaning the bet will still hold even if the player does not make the Super Bowl.Related: DraftKings is getting bashed for insensitive 9/11 sports bet Bettors are not only betting on whether there player scores, but that the player's team wins all its playoff games to make it to the Super Bowl. That means two wins for the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens players — who no surprise have the lowest odds — and three for players of every other team. This may not be the weirdest bet that any of these major sportsbooks have offered — some of these sportsbooks allow you to offer on sports like the World Putting League. But it's definitely another indication that sportsbooks are getting more and more creative with ways to entice people to place bets. So as long as people are placing them, it doesn't seem like this is going to stop anytime soon. Discuss trade ideas with Hedge Fund Managers and experienced Day Traders. Get Real Money Pro now.

DraftKings' latest Super Bowl prop bet is only for the most confident gamblers
Another sign that sports gambling is taking over the country.
*Scam alert: Avoid losing money to criminals in current scheme*
Arriving in the U.S. along with the new year are a number of winter storms slamming various regions of the country, including the Central Plains, Great Lakes and New England. These winter weather events inevitably carry with them some danger and a number of hassles.Related: Costco takes on a problem bigger than retail theft Included among these are icy roads and sidewalks that pose obvious threats to personal safety. Beyond that, people are forced to contend with power outages, frozen pipes and shoveling snow. Health problems can also arise due to too much exposure to the elements, such as frostbite and hypothermia. But the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has now issued a warning about some scams criminals engage in to profit from others' misery. A person is seen getting a car ready for the road after a snowstorm. The Federal Trade Commission has issued a consumer alert about scammers looking to profit illegally from winter storms. Kevin Levick/TheStreet How to look out for illegal schemes The FTC published a consumer alert on Jan. 9 explaining that scammers are paying attention to the paths of storms in order to target unsuspecting victims. "Weather emergencies mean big bucks for scammers and unlicensed contractors," the alert stated. "They'll appear right after a storm and offer to get your power back on, make essential repairs, or help with whatever you need. But if you pay them, they'll take your money and disappear, charge you for things you don't need, or leave before completing the work you paid them to do." The FTC said one of the schemes involves utility worker imposters. "Utility imposters work year-round, but after a storm, they might call or knock on your door saying they need to repair or replace equipment," the agency wrote. "Then they'll ask you to pay. Don't pay them. That’s a scam." It's also important to only hire contractors who are licensed and insured. "Check with your state or county government to confirm a contractor's license," it urged. "Ask the contractor for proof of insurance and a written contract." The consumer alert also highlighted the fact that you should never pay in cash. "Paying by credit card offers you some protections," it said. "And only pay in full after the work is done and you're satisfied with it."Other scams to be aware of If a winter storm does sufficient damage to your home or livelihood so as to cause you to be permanently or temporarily estranged from either, scammers are waiting for those opportunities as well, the FTC said. "Be wise to rental listing scams," the FTC wrote. "If you're looking for a place to live, steer clear of people who tell you to wire money or who ask for security deposits or rent before you've met or signed a lease." "Some scammers hijack a real rental or real estate listing by changing the email address or other contact information, and placing the modified ad on another site," it continued. "Other rip-off artists make up listings for places that aren't for rent or don't exist, and try to lure you in with the promise of low rent or great amenities." If you find yourself out of work, be aware of job scams as well. "To trick people looking for honest work, scammers advertise where real employers and job placement firms do," the agency said. "They lie about your chances of getting a job and often ask you to pay before you get one — which is a sure sign of a scam." If you suspect a scam, the FTC wants you to report it and the agency listed a website to use where you can do just that.
