Jake asked KSI to show his fans what legal betting houses in the US are taking bets on his fight with Fury.
Really? So show all your fans what regulated US sports book is taking bets on your fight in the US? Betr isn’t…but neither are Fan Duel, Draft Kings, Bet MGM or any LEGAL sports book…because your fight isn’t a pro fight. It’s an exhibition.
