Stardust Memories

Malinsky is best-known in the Las Vegas community that is sports-betting hosting the Stardust Line radio show at the old Stardust Casino. The radio program ran for 25 years, and only came to end when the resort shuttered in 2006. The Stardust Line basically created the sports radio that is betting in Las Vegas.

More recently, Malinsky appeared on the Las Vegas Stats & Suggestions Network (VSiN), the activities betting network led by famed broadcaster Brent Musburger.

Bettor-Friendly

Malinsky is being remembered as a man who always had time and energy to respond to sports betting concerns. On his ‘Point Blank’ forum on SportsbookReview.com, followers say the tipster supplied in-depth advice to all, and individually taken care of immediately nearly every question asked.

Others said that while sports betting made him a family group name in Las Vegas, ‘Dave is about way more than activities,’ said one post for a GoFundMe campaign that has been originally intended for search expenses, but is money that is now raising their funeral expenses.

‘A true friend and astute handicapper. a great writer, photographer, and deep thinker,’ J.C. and Vicki Barton noted. ‘The world needs more like him.’

The GoFundMe campaign has already raised nearly $16,000 of a $25,000 goal for the Malinsky family members. SportsbookReview donated $3,330.

Fellow Handicapper Grieves

Ted Sevransky, a friend that is close of who is a handicapper at SportsMemo.com, told the nevada Review-Journal that David was ‘exemplary in everything that he did.’ He added that Malinsky was exceptionally skilled in connecting with the bettor that is average and explaining rather complex odds in layman’s terms.

Sevransky added that he spoke with Malinsky on a daily basis.

‘I’ll miss his insights. We already miss his insights. I had a week that is terrible’ Sevransky told CBS Las Vegas.

Malinsky is thought to have fallen 30 feet off a cliff during icy conditions. Though the weather in Las Vegas is now heating up — with daily highs to the 90s — the North Loop Trail on which Malinsky was reaches that are hiking since high as almost 12,000 foot at the peak, and stays cold all year.

Ironically, a warning on birdandhike.com — a site focused on hiking on the outskirts of las vegas — has this to express about that area: ‘… this trail traverses narrow ledges with some serious exposure out near Devil’s Thumb. While the hiking is safe, be careful along these sections because you are exhausted by the time you get there (either coming or going), and a stumble could possibly be your last.’

The Vegas Golden Knights have actually currently made history. They are just the sixth team in the Big Four (NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL) since 1960 to make the playoffs in their inaugural season.

The Golden Knights went 51-24 during the regular season, and scored the fifth-most points (109) of the league’s 31 teams after being as long as 500/1 ahead of the first drop of the puck.

ESPN’s David Purdum, who covers gambling for the sports network, has been tweeting numerous wagers from Las Vegas sportsbooks about what type of losses casinos are considering if the Golden Knights be the last team standing.

William Hill reports its two largest futures were placed in October. One was a $200 bet on 200/1 odds that would net the gambler $40,000. A $1,000 wager placed later that month at 50/1 odds would net $50,000.

At the Westgate SuperBook, oddsmakers state they took 13 bets at 500/1 on Vegas to get all the way. The line is implied chances of just 0.20 percent. Even a $10 bet would spend $5,000.

Knights Advance

The Golden Knights made quick work of their opening series foe. Vegas swept the Los Angeles Kings 4-0, and now go to the second round where they’ll have fun with the San Jose Sharks.

The SuperBook has Vegas favored for the best-of-seven series at -140, and San Jose at +120. A $100 bet on the Golden Knights nets $71 and change.

Viva Las Vegas?

The Golden Knights have already surpassed all expectations for the year that is first. Nevada’ first Big Four professional sports team, the expansion franchise has brought a flush of cash to Strip and Nevada sportsbooks on a hobby that typically doesn’t receive substantial activity compared to football, baseball, and basketball.

The hysteria around town was prevalent ahead of the Golden Knights’ first playoff gaming up against the Kings at T-Mobile Arena near the Strip. Fans packed a concert that is outdoor hours before the game.

But before Las Vegans get their first sports title parade, a few teams stand in their method.

They’ll need to get by the Sharks, and then the winner of the Nashville Predators and Winnipeg Jets to help make the Stanley Cup Finals and face a far more than formidable opponent. The teams remaining into the East include the Tampa Bay Lightning and two-time defending champion Pittsburgh Penguins.

Steve Wynn Still Under Scrutiny, Says Massachusetts Gaming Commission

Steve Wynn continues to be in hot water with the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC).

The embattled casino mogul resigned as CEO and chairman of Wynn Resorts in February in the wake of a Wall Street Journal article that accused him of a long pattern of sexual misconduct against female employees.

Dealing with licensing suitability investigations in many jurisdictions, he later sold their majority that is entire stake the company, as the board sought to guard its video gaming licenses by severing all ties to its founder.

But the MGC — which is reexamining Wynn Resorts’ suitability for licensing in Boston, where it is building its $2.4 million Wynn Boston Harbor — is not done with Wynn as of this time.

Wynn and Wynn Resorts passed suitability that is licensing before they won the sole east Massachusetts casino license in 2014 after a hard-fought competitive bidding process with Mohegan Sun. But Wynn’s alleged failure to declare a $7.5 million settlement to a Wynn Resorts manicurist who stated assault that is sexual the regulator to revisit the instance.

Wynn Status to Be Decided

In a letter dated March 27, Wynn’s attorney asserted that the divestiture of Wynn’s shares precluded him from further scrutiny and that he would no longer react to requests for information from the commission.

‘As Mr. Wynn is not any longer a qualifier of any commission licensee, there is no longer any regulatory or justification that is statutory continue the payment’s inquiry into Mr. Wynn’s suitability being a qualifier of the commission,’ stated Wynn’s attorney. ‘The commission no longer has jurisdiction over Mr. Wynn — he is really a private Nevada citizen unaffiliated with Wynn Resorts LLC or any commission licensee.’

But in line with the vegas Review-Journal, the MGC has scheduled a hearing for might in which they will seek to ascertain whether Wynn has certainly removed himself from the ongoing company and whether or not he remains a ‘qualifier’ in the licensing procedure.

‘The payment’s decision at the hearing will not end the investigation that is current the Investigation Enforcement Bureau as to your allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct against Steve Wynn or the handling of the allegations by Wynn Resorts Ltd. as well as its officers and directors,’ said the MGC. ‘The hearing will also maybe not think about whether other employees, board people, shareholders or other Wynn companies should remain as qualifiers.’

Elaine Wynn Accuses Hagenbuch

Meanwhile, Elaine Wynn — now the shareholder that is major of Resorts after her estranged ex-husband’s departure from the company — has called for the reduction of John Hagenbuch from the board, one of three directors involved in Wynn Resorts very own internal investigation of Steve Wynn’s alleged behavior.

She stated in a filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that Hagenbuch’s loyalties are way too closely aligned with her ex-husband.

Last week, Wynn Resorts directors rebuffed Ms. Wynn’s interest in a complete overhaul of the board to revive the business’s reputation. Instead, the board nominated three women of their choosing that is own for at the business’s forthcoming AGM.
