    Take what's in the article, reduce it by 5%, and that's probably what it would be. Sports bet rakes aren't huge (unlike horse racing).

    There are policies from 600 years ago that are in effect and beneficial. Like the Magna Carta [0], which was 800 years ago, and its derivatives. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M…
