In the days leading up to kickoff, users of Fliff, a popular mobile gaming app, placed more than 200,000 “bets” on last month’s NFL conference championship games. They bet on Patrick Mahomes throwing for at least 240 yards, on Christian McCaffrey scoring the first touchdown and on the usual array of money line, point spread and over-under offerings. They did it, in many cases, without verifying their age or even spending a dollar.

President Biden won the Democratic primary in South Carolina on Saturday, notching a decisive victory in his party’s first official nominating contest. Former president Donald Trump holds the lead in the Republican delegate count.
