Good morning, everybody, the Simple Handicap for Thursday, December 28th.

Thank you for making me a part of your morning.

Appreciate everybody giving me the day off yesterday, and it was actually a very good day to take off,

as we'll talk about in the market rundown in just a couple of minutes.

Lots of moving parts on the games in week 17.

Just wanted to call two things out here. First of all, was able to go and play

Chambers Bay. If you are a golfer of any skill level, however frequent you may play, if you

ever have the opportunity to play Chambers Bay, I could not recommend it enough. Absolutely

incredible course, but more relevant to the podcast, driving down the I-5,

I live in White Rock, B.C., so I'm about a mile north of the U.S. border right on the coast.

And so I drove down from there to Tacoma.

It was about a two-hour, 15-minute drive.

And I was blown away by the number of casinos that offer sports

betting in the northwestern portion of Washington State. I mean, it was every 10 to 15 minutes.

I was passing some new casino that offered sports betting, was openly promoting it. And also,

for some reason, just had

really, really, really cheap gas. I mean, if I could have filled up more than once, I would

have. I couldn't believe the gas price is driving down. So I'm curious, if you are from that area

and you're listening to this podcast and you are a listener of the show, send me a direct message

on Twitter if you have

time. I would love to know a little bit more about what goes on in these casinos with sports betting, what operators are there. I don't know much at all. And so I would love to hear what it's like to bet at these places. The caddy that I had at Chambers Bay, Steve, great guy was saying that there's no mobile betting, which is crazy to me. So it seems like it's all in person. I'd just love to

know more. And so if you do live in this area, Steve, great guy, was saying that there's no mobile betting, which is crazy to me, so it seems like it's all in person.
