This is a great strategy for poker stars.
Sports betting is huge and it will likely bring some new players into the game of poker which they desperately need on an ongoing basis.

I like how they have having basically a "seperate" sportsbook platform yet the sportsbetters can play poker from there as it should hopefully bring some new blood into the poker economy and soften things up in some areas (doubt its any lower limits but probably bring some soft players/gamblers into 25NL+).

We shall see though how it all turns out, but there is a lot of money flowing in sportsbetting so if even a small portion of it comes over to the poker side it can't be a bad thing.

pokerstars dying. introduction of sports betting - this is what dokozatelstvo. The new owners, as far as I know, have a fairly large loan, and still can not pay. That and trying to somehow get out. Do not be surprised if soon vpyhnet another scandal, using bots.

Would be good to see Full Tilt join with a huge company like this.
I miss the crowds there, but for PS, this will bring newbies.

I'm not betting on sports teams but if they want to implement it does not seem bad, there are players who like to bet on almost everything so it's okay for them

Goes to reason that a good poker site could have a good betting site as well. Fully integrated is the way to go, otherwise you can have problems.

I am not so fond of all the casino and bet possibilities in poker software. They should keep this apart I think. I like poker but I don't like gambling. People can be easily tempted this way to bet because they already have an account and money so it is little step.

I'm not really a fan of PokerStars, but this is absolutely a smart move. Sports betting is HUGE and this will not only attract new players, but help retain some current ones too. Although I don't think it's enough to appease all the high level players who are currently very, very upset with the recent changes to the vip program and some other changes they've made. If I were them, that's what I'd be worried about.

Casino, Sportsbook, spin and go, all-in shotouts at PCA they are trying to make bingo lottery with 10% rake that is bad strategy IMHO
