ESPN gambling host Erin Dolan’s picks for the Chiefs and Ravens create drama

An ESPN gambling presenter has slammed critics who pointed out that a gambling tips video she posted on social media included odds not offered on ESPN BET.

On Thursday, ahead of the Chiefs’ season-opening game against the Ravens in the NFL, Erin Dolan released a series of tips for the game.

Many commentators were quick to point out that some of the picks, such as the Chiefs’ Isaiah Pacheco rushing for 14.5 yards in the first quarter, were not available on the ESPN BET app.

“The idiots who blindly trust tips without any analysis should know that ESPN Bet doesn’t even offer this bet,” wrote gambling and fantasy sports star Josh Larky on X.

“ESPN betting analyst makes four picks, three of which ESPN Bet has no markets for. You can’t make this up,” tweeted gambling consultant Dustin Gouker.

“To top off all the engagement I got on this tweet, she got one of the four points right; the only market ESPN Bet had (Worthy Receiving Yards) had her under and the value went over the max.”

Dolan was not deterred.

“To all who may concern… This is MY social network. I have posted tips that I, Erin Dolan, liked. Some were on espn bet and some were on other bookies,” she wrote in response to those who criticized her for posting the tips.

“I can’t control which markets go up, which go down, and which lines move. Enjoy the game! Let’s have fun.”

Dolan later took a victory lap and said that her best tips video went viral thanks in large part to her critics.

“Thank you to everyone who supported my engagement here today. See you tomorrow,” Dolan wrote, adding a kiss emoji.
