Stop With The Bears Complaints, Johnny Aitken Interview (Sports Talk Chicago / WCKG 9-22-20)

On today’s show, I break down the Bears’ 17-13 win over the Giants, and explain why the team’s 2-0 record is something to celebrate. I also catch up with Johnny Aitken, CEO of PointsBet! We discuss PointsBet’s new partnership with the Hawthorne Race Course in Stickney, and what it means for the future of sports betting here in Illinois. We also talk about the differences between PointsBet and other commonly used sportsbooks like DraftKings and FanDuel. Later in the show, Johnny reflects on his amazing career in the sports gambling space, plus recalls the most memorable bet that he’s made!
