Illinois has nine operating retail sportsbooks, seven of which offer online sports betting. FanDuel, DraftKings and BetMGM, the three largest online sportsbooks in the U.S., are all partnered with downstate casinos. The amended law opened up the floodgates for the sportsbooks to woo Chicago-area customers, precipitating a seemingly nonstop blitz of TV ads throughout the month.

I had an interesting conversation with a general manager several years ago and he made an excellent point. Let’s say, for the sake of this conversation, the Bears are on the clock and they have a pressing need at wide receiver and offensive line but they draft a defensive end. That would not fill either of the greatest needs on the roster. But the GM made the point that two years down the road, no one is going to be focused on whether at the time of the draft the Bears filled one of the two biggest needs. At that point, the question would be did the Bears select a player that has been able to help them? If the defensive end is a player moving forward, it will be viewed as a good pick. If a wide receiver is drafted and he fizzles out in the first two years, it will be a poor pick.
