Days After Quitting Betting, Dave Portnoy Plays Reverse as Arkansas’ Basketball Triumphs Over Duke

You can never take out the feeling of exhilaration from a gambler’s heart. Likewise, when Dave Portnoy announced he would be quitting gambling after the Buffalo Bills’ defeat at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles, many were skeptical about the longevity of his resolution. Surely enough, the Barstool owner has once again taken to social media to drop the announcement of his inevitable return to gambling.

Only days ago, Portnoy was fuming over the depressive form of the Cincinnati Bengals after their loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Soon after his massive wager loss because of the Bengals, Portnoy went ahead to lose more dough as the Buffalo Bills were triumphed over by the Eagles. However, his promise of quitting gambling lasted only so long, as Portnoy dived back into his guilty pleasure.

Dave Portnoy is too itchy to steer clear from gambling

In his recent post on X, formerly Twitter, Dave Portnoy shared the news of his return to betting once more. As context, he shared a piece of news covered by the New York Post which mentioned Portnoy quitting gambling after the Bills’ defeat. From the looks of it, Portnoy was enthralled by the prospect of hitting it home as Duke Blue Devils took on the Arkansas Razorbacks. And like the last few times, his luck didn’t aid him in making some extra cash.

The Blue Devils lost to the Razorbacks 80-75. Arkansas didn’t have their lead scorer but still managed to outplay the Duke team at the Bud Walton Arena. Arkansas (5-3) triumphed over Duke (5-2) in front of over 20,000 viewers, the highest number of attendees to have ever gathered in the building. Understandably, Dave Portnoy wasn’t too pleased with how his latest wager turned out to be yet another misplaced bet.

Tramon Mark, Arkansas’ blue-eyed boy suffered a back injury last Friday. With him out, Duke’s chances to win the game weren’t too shabby and Portnoy wanted a piece of the action. But the Razorbacks’ resolute gameplay ended Duke’s high hopes and Dave was left reeling once again.

Portnoy sailing rough seas

Dave Portnoy isn’t having a great time anyway. His favorite team the New England Patriots has been on a downward spiral ever since Tom Brady left. Portnoy announced he’ll be cheering for the Cincinnati Bengals for the season, but they haven’t been able to match his expectations.

Furthermore, his alma mater Michigan Wolverines is also being accused of sign-stealing and their head coach is suspended. With Duke stumbling, Portnoy might need to expand his horizons further and make a better decision the next time.
