🥳 The New Era Begins: CFB Week 1 🏈

Alright, folks, buckle up because college football is back, and it's not just a new season – it's a whole new era. Think about it: between conference realignment (are Stanford and Cal really in the Atlantic Coast Conference?), the transfer portal (I’m looking @ you, Colorado & Ohio State 💵💵 ), coaching changes (enjoy retirement, Coach Saban!), and the expansion of the College Football Playoff from 4️⃣ to 1️⃣2️⃣ teams, the chaos is about to reach new heights. So, grab your popcorn, because this season is going to be a rollercoaster ride with more twists and turns than a Simone Biles gymnastics routine 🥇

And if your team doesn’t make it into the expanded CFP, at least you can lead your team to a National Championship in your Road to Glory in the EA Sports College Football 25 game 🎮🎮

TRIVIA
😅 Replacing a Legend 😅

The college football world hasn’t gone through a season without Nick Saban on a sideline since the 1970s (ignoring, of course, his brief hiatus in Miami with the Dolphins🐬🐬 ). The folks down in Tuscaloosa are hopeful that Saban’s successor, Kalen DeBoer, will keep the Tide Rolling in Alabama. Do you know where Kalen DeBoer got his start in college coaching?

RESPONSIBLE BETTING
⚠️ (Stop) Gambling Away Stability ⚠️

As reported by the Morning Brew, a recent paper entitled “Gambling Away Stability” was released that found that people tend to bet on sports instead of investing in the stock market and that this finding was particularly problematic for vulnerable households (who may siphon off funds from investing in the hope of getting rich quick by hitting that tempting parlay).

Please bet better (or “bettr” as we say at BettrNation) this season. Only bet what you can afford to lose and don’t mortgage your future in the hope of winning that 12-leg parlay!

We’ve partnered with Birches Health to bring you helpful tips, advice, and, if needed, expert counseling. Please reach out if you need assistance!
