Carlyle co-founder David Rubenstein is part of the investor group that plans to buy the Baltimore Orioles. Ares Management Chief Executive Officer Michael Arougheti is also part of the group. Also, they offered $1.73 billion for the Major League team.

According to pay per head solution experts, MLB must first approve the proposed multi-stage arrangement.

The consortium will start by buying a nearly 40% share from the Angelos family, the current Orioles owners. To reduce the family's tax liability, they want to purchase the remaining stake in the team upon the passing of Angelos patriarch Peter, who is 94.

As a significant minority stakeholder, Arougheti will have a lesser role than Rubenstein, who would be regarded as the "control person" according to MLB regulations. Someone in the know says that the ownership group will be more diverse and might include prominent Marylanders, charitable donors, and sports figures like Cal Ripken Jr., a Hall of Fame shortstop for the Orioles.

The NBA fined the Nets $100,000 for breaching the league’s participation policy. It is the first time the NBA sanctioned a team related to the policy that took effect this year.

In their 144-122 defeat to the Milwaukee Bucks on December 27, the Nets benched four players from their rotation: starter Spencer Dinwiddie, backups Cam Johnson and Nic Claxton, and important reserve Dorian Finney-Smith. According to the best pay per head bookie, three of Brooklyn's starting players played for 12 minutes or fewer that night.

To prepare its players for six games in nine days, Brooklyn decided to rest them on the second night of a back-to-back. However, clubs know the league will not tolerate it if they rest several players simultaneously, even if they can all play.

After the UK government announced the debate on the proposed financial risk checks, the Betting and Gaming Council wants the government to implement seamless affordability checks. They want the process to be unintrusive to players.

If the original idea goes through, gaming businesses must verify that their customers can afford to gamble if they lose a moderate amount of money. Operators are responsible for acting if they identify a client like this to prevent them from losing further money and developing a gambling addiction. According to government estimates, only around 20% of customer accounts will be subject to such audits yearly.

Neil Truesdale, CEO of The Jockey Club, created a petition to halt the UK government's plans to enact this legislation. According to sportsbook reviews and news sites, the petition successfully gathered over 100,000 signatures, which led the government to arrange a discussion on the subject. The British horse racing business and the possibility of discrimination were two of the main concerns voiced by those who were against the plan.
