Sports betting leads to player availability reporting policy for ACC women's basketball
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Sports bettors have forced the hand of Jim Phillips, commissioner of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Specifically, those gamblers jumping in the direct messages of players and harassing them online, wanting to know if they're injured as they look for an edge to beat the lines set by Vegas and the sportsbooks. Beginning this season, the ACC will have a player availability reporting for four sports: football, men's and women's basketball, and baseball — arguably the four most popular sports for folks betting on collegiate athletics. Advertisement 'This decision is directly connected to our ongoing commitment to best protect our student-athletes and our multi-faceted approach to addressing the effects of sports wagering,' Phillips said Tuesday at ACC Kickoff, the conference's media days for football. 'In this case, it would alleviate pressure from entities or individuals who are involved in sports wagering that attempt to obtain inside information about availability from players, coaches, and other staff.' He later added: 'There's stresses on our student-athletes from individuals that are trying to garner information — and sometimes it's pretty innocent because they just want to know, they're a big fan — but other times it really does trickle and lead yourself to the gambling and sports wagering kind of path.' In 2024, the NCAA released a study that analyzed the social media accounts of 3,000 college athletes and 500 coaches in a variety of sports. The analysis found 743 abusive messages related to betting and 73 percent of them happened during March Madness. Women received 59 percent more abusive messages than men. The NCAA has lobbied to ban statistic-based prop bets for college athletes too. For basketball specifically, Phillips said that reports will be due from teams one day before games and then updated two hours prior to tip-off. Those reports will be made public on the ACC's website. Advertisement The ACC is the third conference to launch such reports for women's basketball. The SEC and Big Ten implemented similar policies last season. Reports from the SEC and the Big Ten didn't list what specific type of injuries players had, but had designations for 'out' or 'questionable' for every game. Some teams chose to clarify if an injury was a season-long one. Some coaches can be reserved or even secretive when it comes to discussing injuries and availability with reporters, but Phillips says that none of the coaches in the four sports pushed back on implementing this policy. 'Coaches are hard to change, but when we told them that we were doing it, no one said anything on the call. I don't know what that meant, other than they were accepting it,' Phillips said. 'It's the right thing. Every coach has to do what they have to do in order to get their team ready, and there's always gamesmanship, always. That's been around for 100 years, and it's going to continue, but it's the right thing.' Phillips said that there isn't a fine structure in place yet for late reports or for coaches being untruthful with those reports. Advertisement 'We're still kind of discussing that,' Phillips said of a fine system. 'But we'd also like to think that people are going to do what they're asked to do, and we hope that it wouldn't come down to that.'

‘EFL community has been missing something like this': U's fan on new app
AN Oxford United fan believes his new EFL predictor app is filling a gap in the market, following its launch on Friday. Kieran Whelan, from Brize Norton, and two friends launched an EFL predictor app called Tipple Sports, where users predict the correct results in six out of the 20 toughest games from the Premier League through to Sky Bet League Two. The app's scoring system includes point penalties for poor weeks, bonuses for winning the weekly 'Big Bet', and base points for correct results. SEE ALSO: The best photos of the U's faithful in Indonesia Having released the app on the Apple App Store, Whelan spoke about the feedback he has gotten so far. He said: 'It has been pretty good so far as people seem to be receiving it well once downloaded and there have been positive comments on the look and feel of the app and the ease of use.' Whelan expressed how the biggest piece of feedback he's gotten has been more positive than he could imagine. He said: 'The main bit of feedback I've received so far has been for an Android version, and this has come up a lot. This is exactly what I was hoping for as it shows a real desire to use the app. 'The Android version is in the pipeline and depending on how successful the start of this season goes will define how quickly I can implement this.' CLICK HERE TO SUBSCRIBE TO THE OXFORD MAIL ONLINE (Image: Newsquest) Whelan's aim for the app is to engage the EFL community in a way that most other predictor apps tend to ignore, with those focusing more on the top flight. 'I think the EFL community has been missing something like this for a long time, and I think the unrest in the community towards the Premier League and the gap in coverage, money, and everything else that comes with that has been growing especially in the last few years,' said Whelan. 'I hope that this app can be used to grow interest in the EFL, with games having more importance and maybe it can persuade people who wouldn't normally watch to tune in and see that it is as entertaining, if not more, than the top tier.' Having already received a lot of feedback, Whelan and his friends are looking to make changes to improve the app, including implementing a blog. He said: 'Me and a few friends will also be running a weekly blog called This Week In Tipple Sports and we're kicking things off with our full league predictions coming out at the end of this month. 'The idea is that users can compare their results with the 'experts' and try to beat the creators of the game themselves, making the app more interactive.'

Sports betting roundup: Scottie Scheffler's odds at British Open got better and better
Scottie Scheffler's odds of winning the British Open got better and better until he finally secured the claret jug at Royal Portrush. Scheffler, the world's No. 1 golfer, won his second major of the year on Sunday. He finished the event in Northern Ireland at 17 under, winning by four shots. Scheffler needs to win a U.S. Open to complete the career Grand Slam. Trends of the Week At the BetMGM online sportsbook, Scheffler was the pre-tournament favorite with +550 odds to win going into the first round.

The Toronto Blue Jays are one of the hottest teams in baseball, winning three straight games and 14 of their last 17. At -110 against the San Francisco Giants on Sunday, they were the most bet team in terms of bets and money. They continued to win, taking down San Francisco 8-6.
