FTN Network Premiers NBA Proprietary Data for Customers for 2024 Season

FTN Network

FTN Network, a company built for delivering affordable, customizable and highly detailed sports data for media companies, bettors, fantasy sports and DFS, announced today that it will premier NBA data on its platform of charted, proprietary information. Starting with the 2024–25 season, NBA data will be available to all FTN Data customers, and to FTN Fantasy subscribers at a later date. FTN will track 19 distinct data points aimed at offering unique context into player evaluations, covering everything from fundamental offensive and defensive sets to intricate and advanced analytics. The collected data will place an emphasis on the impact of the defensive side of the ball. With the last 4 league-MVP awards going to true Centers (Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid), FTN will equip data subscribers with the resources necessary to highlight the extensive impact some of the league’s most dominant players have on neutralizing opposing offensive superstars. The advanced metrics will provide insights into ball screen coverages, post-defense, off-ball defensive actions, contested shot data and contested rebound data, going deeper than simply tracking who secures a rebound and where. "We want to revolutionize the way individuals analyze and engage with the sport of basketball. This includes enhancing the experience from both a betting and fantasy perspective, as well as for regular viewers of the game down the line. Our objective with the charting database is to drive innovation for sports analytics,” said Frank Brank, Chief Data Officer at FTN. “We want to offer services and insights that may go unnoticed by other platforms. Users will have intel like a defensive scout, including how teams defend against specific offensive formations, as well as offensive efficiency metrics that highlight the effectiveness of these defensive strategies.” Building on its extensive NFL data and unique expertise with its DVOA/DYAR metrics, FTN’s addition of NBA analytics will help enhance customers’ viewership experience and boost the entertainment value of the sport. The following data points will be collected by FTN for its charting database: possession type, play type, shot type, defensive alignment, after time-out situations, short clock situations, ball screen defensive coverages, screen locations, screen participants, off-ball action coverages, post defense, post play participants, deflections, potential assists, shot contest types, shot contest hands, contests by player, rebound locations, and rebound contests. “The launch of our NBA data for the upcoming season further establishes FTN as the one stop shop for all things fantasy, betting and fan engagement,” said Perry Gershon, chief executive officer at FTN. “It allows users to go beyond the box score in this new era of the game, making it a truly innovate tool in the sports data industry.” This additional data offering comes at a time when FTN is experiencing impressive growth. Total subscription revenue (monthly and annual combined) grew 16 percent for the first three quarters of 2024 compared to the same period last year. The main driver of that growth is its fantasy football product on ftnfantasy.com, which historically sells best between July and September. For that specific 3-month period, FTN’s subscription revenue grew 22 percent compared to 2023. FTN Data revenue also grew substantially (by 211% over the same period last year), driven by an increased visibility of the product. About FTN Network FTN Network is a sports data B2B and fantasy sports and betting media B2C company. Founded in 2020, FTN gives the fantasy and sports betting community an edge through its own unique ecosystem, providing customizable tools that turn raw data into true insights while also offering expert analysis and content to help users make the best decision possible.

Quantum BioPharma Ltd. Alleges Market Manipulation, Files Lawsuit, unbuzzed Continues To Gain Traction

QNTM

Quantum BioPharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: QNTM) (CSE: QNTM) continues to make strides in both biopharmaceutical innovation and its functional wellness product line. A biopharmaceutical company focused on the treatment of neurodegenerative and metabolic disorders, Quantum BioPharma’s recent efforts in launching a wellness beverage, unbuzzd, highlight a strategy to diversify and expand revenue streams beyond its core drug development. Expanding Market Reach with unbuzzd On October 7, 2024, Quantum BioPharma’s subsidiary, Celly Nutrition Corp., secured a Master Distribution Agreement with FUSION Consulting Group. This agreement grants unbuzzd, the company's innovative beverage designed to support the body in metabolizing alcohol, access to prominent retailers throughout Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, and parts of Central and South America. Retailers such as Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, and Costco will soon offer unbuzzd, helping it penetrate vacation-heavy markets where alcohol consumption is a common part of the experience. John Duffy, CEO of Celly Nutrition, emphasized the significance of this partnership: “Our collaboration with FUSION allows us to reach a broader audience and help consumers make healthier choices when it comes to alcohol consumption.” Unbuzzd offers a unique value proposition by helping to expedite the body's alcohol metabolism process, promoting clarity and faster recovery. FUSION’s distribution expertise, which includes previous success with brands like CELSIUS and SHINE Water, further enhances the product’s growth prospects in new markets. Legal Action: Alleged Market Manipulation In addition to its expanding product portfolio, Quantum BioPharma has recently taken legal action to address what it claims is a multi-year market manipulation scheme. On October 20, 2024, the company filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging that CIBC World Markets, RBC Dominion Securities, and other entities engaged in stock price manipulation, commonly referred to as "spoofing." This legal action seeks damages in excess of $700 million, a figure that reflects the significant harm Quantum BioPharma believes it suffered as a result of these activities. The lawsuit alleges that between January 1, 2020, and August 15, 2024, these defendants repeatedly manipulated the share price of Quantum BioPharma, contributing to a dramatic drop in its stock value. CEO John Duffy described this legal step as a necessary measure to protect the company’s interests and its shareholders: “The market manipulation we’ve experienced has had severe financial consequences for the company and our investors. We are pursuing this case with full confidence in the strength of the evidence.” Law firms Christian Attar and Freedman Normand Friedland LLP are representing Quantum BioPharma on a contingency basis, ensuring that the company does not bear immediate financial pressure for legal costs. They have conducted extensive investigations that they believe substantiate claims of substantial market manipulation, affecting both the company and its retail investors. "In the 21 years our team has been prosecuting market manipulation cases against Wall Street, I believe this could be one of the top 5 biggest spoofing/market manipulation cases we have handled," stated James Wes Christian, highlighting the potential damages in excess of $700 million USD due to the alleged manipulative practices. Key Milestones for the Future Beyond the current legal developments and the market expansion of unbuzzd, Quantum BioPharma is advancing its core biopharma pipeline. The company’s lead compound, Lucid-MS, is designed to address myelin degradation in multiple sclerosis. In August 2024, Quantum BioPharma announced that it had received ethics approval in Australia to commence Phase 1 clinical trials for Lucid-MS. This milestone marks a critical step forward in the development of a potentially groundbreaking treatment for this challenging neurodegenerative disorder. Quantum BioPharma’s focus on long-term innovation and near-term revenue generation is reflected in its diversified business model. By maintaining a 25.71% stake in Celly Nutrition and earning royalties from unbuzzd sales, the company is positioned to benefit financially while continuing its pioneering work in the biopharmaceutical sector. Additionally, Quantum BioPharma retains 100% of the rights to develop a pharmaceutical version of unbuzzd specifically for medical use, offering further growth potential in the future. Conclusion Quantum BioPharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: QNTM) (CSE: QNTM) is demonstrating solid progress on multiple fronts. With the successful launch and distribution agreement for unbuzzd, legal efforts to address past market manipulation, and key milestones in its drug development pipeline, QNTM’s multifaceted strategy positions it as a compelling stock to monitor. While the company’s biopharma ambitions, particularly with Lucid-MS, hold long-term promise, the expansion of unbuzzd into new markets could drive more immediate revenue growth, making QNTM a stock with strong potential in both the wellness and biopharmaceutical industries.

The Future of Live Casinos: Virtual Reality and Beyond

Acroud Media

Live casinos have rapidly become one of the most exciting aspects of online gaming, offering players an immersive and interactive experience that closely mimics traditional casino environments. As technology continues to evolve, the future of live casinos is set to be even more dynamic, with virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) poised to take online gambling to new heights. This press release explores the latest innovations and what players can expect from the future of live casinos. Live Casinos Today: A Revolution in Online Gaming Over the past decade, live casino games have transformed the online gaming landscape. Using advanced streaming technology, players can engage in real-time games hosted by professional dealers, all from the comfort of their own homes. Popular games like Live Blackjack, Roulette, and Baccarat have become staple offerings at online casinos, delivering the social and immersive aspects of land-based casinos without the need to travel. With live chat features, high-definition video, and multiple camera angles, live casinos offer players a more authentic and engaging experience than traditional digital games. But this is just the beginning—new advancements are on the horizon that will change how we interact with live casino games. For a comprehensive guide on the best live online casinos in the UK, click here. The Rise of Virtual Reality in Live Casinos As VR technology matures, its integration into the world of online gambling is becoming a reality. With virtual reality, players can enter fully realized, 3D casino environments, where they can walk through the gaming floor, sit at a table, and interact with live dealers and other players as though they were physically present in the casino. Here’s how VR is shaping the future of live casinos: Immersive 360-degree environments Customizable avatars Enhanced interactivity Realistic sounds and atmosphere Augmented Reality: Blending the Real and Virtual Worlds While VR offers a fully immersive experience, augmented reality (AR) combines the real and digital worlds to create a new hybrid gaming experience. AR overlays digital elements onto the real world, allowing players to view live casino games from different angles and add extra layers of information to enhance gameplay. For example: Players could use AR glasses or smartphone apps to view, side bets, and winning probabilities directly on their screen, creating a more data-rich environment. Dealers and gaming tables could be projected into a player’s room, creating the sensation of playing in a real casino while still interacting with the physical surroundings. AI-Powered Live Casinos: Smarter, More Engaging Experiences In addition to VR and AR, artificial intelligence (AI) is set to play a significant role in shaping the future of live casinos. AI can enhance player engagement through personalized gaming experiences, including: Custom game recommendations Smart dealers Data-driven insights What’s Next for Live Casinos? The future of live casinos is more than just about new technologies—it’s about creating a seamless, immersive experience that bridges the gap between virtual gaming and reality. The integration of VR, AR, and AI will redefine how players engage with live casino games, making them more interactive, personalized, and exciting than ever before. As these technologies continue to develop, online casinos are expected to adopt them gradually, starting with VR-enabled live games and progressing towards fully immersive, AI-driven casino ecosystems. Challenges to Overcome While the future looks bright, there are still several challenges that need to be addressed before these technologies become mainstream: Cost and accessibility Internet speed and infrastructure Learning curve Conclusion: A New Era of Online Gaming The future of live casinos holds incredible potential, and we are on the brink of a gaming revolution. With VR, AR, and AI driving the next generation of live casino experiences, players can look forward to gaming environments that are more immersive, interactive, and personalized than ever before. As these technologies continue to develop and become more accessible, online casinos will provide players with an experience that rivals—and in some cases, surpasses—the excitement of land-based casinos. The world of live casinos is evolving, and the future is set to deliver a thrilling and immersive gaming experience that will change how we play forever.

Denver Area’s “The Club at Ravenna” Earns Prestigious Platinum Club of America Status for 2025-2026

The Club at Ravenna

The leaders of private clubs across the United States have, for the first time, recognized the excellence of “The Club at Ravenna”, near Denver, as one of America’s top 150 private country clubs in the 2025-26 Platinum Clubs of America competition. The competition, sponsored by Club Leaders Forum, a worldwide organization committed to the advancement of excellence in global private club leadership, management and operations, places The Club at Ravenna in the top five percent of all private clubs nationwide, joining the ranks of such legendary institutions as Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland, Bel-Air Country Club in Los Angeles and The Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo, Florida. The voting body, comprised of the most informed Club Managers, CEOs, COOs, Presidents and Owners across the nation, selected Ravenna based on seven separate criteria, including amenities, service, staff, governance and overall experience. Approximately 4,100 ballots were distributed to private club leaders nationwide. "Judge us by the company we keep," said Kevin Collins, president & CEO of Ravenna. "To be ranked among the nation’s finest clubs confirms the unique community we've cultivated at Ravenna. Our members' passion and engagement, our employees and team leaders have propelled us to this exceptional status, and we are incredibly proud of what we've built together.” Only five other Colorado country clubs share the prestigious platinum ranking with Ravenna: Cherry Hills Country Club, Maroon Creek in Aspen, Roaring Fork in Basalt, The Country Club at Castle Pines and the Denver Country Club. For the past decade, under Collins’ leadership Ravenna has transformed from bankruptcy on the heels of the great recession with a tent for a clubhouse, limited amenities and just 50 golf members, into a nationally recognized top-tier country club with world-class status. Today, it stands among the nation’s elite clubs with a state-of-the-art clubhouse, diverse amenities and a thriving membership of more than 400. As part of its strategic plan, Ravenna will change its name to Ravenna Country Club to better reflect its status as an exclusive private club. This rebranding aligns with its newly attained platinum club status and will roll out over the next year. "Our transformation into Ravenna Country Club is a new chapter," said Collins. "This milestone will celebrate how far we've come and our commitment to elevate our already high standards of excellence in the years to come." # # # About The Club at Ravenna Nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, The Club at Ravenna offers premier golf, world-class facilities and extraordinary experiences. A family-owned Private Club, Ravenna is known for its strong culture, dedication to excellence, and member camaraderie. Ravenna continues to elevate the standard, setting it apart as one of the most respected Private Clubs in Colorado. For more information about The Club at Ravenna, visit www.ravennagolf.com.
