In a span of a few months, billionaire Mark Cuban left ABC’s “Shark Tank” and sold a majority stake in the Dallas Mavericks which raised the eyebrows of many who are left to wonder, what is next for Cuban? He never made it clear why he made the moves but did mention he wanted to spend more time with his family. But someone as successful as Cuban definitely has something up his sleeve for his next move. So let’s check out some options.
Sports Betting/Casino +150
Cuban sold the Mavs to the Adelson family which made its money from casinos in Las Vegas
and around the world. After buying the team for $285 million in 2000, Cuban sold his interest for
around $3.5 billion more than 2 decades later. Regulated sports betting, something Cuban is a
proponent for, is banned in Texas and casino gambling only limited to tribal casinos. His
partnership with the Adelson family only opens the doors for a regulated sports betting/casino
market in the state, an idea Cuban has floated before. The Adelsons have some serious political
influence and if approved down the line, Cuban will be involved in any gaming expansion in the
state of Texas.
Run For President +800
Maybe Cuban left Shark Tank and sold his NBA franchise to make a run at the presidency. In
the past, Cuban did talk to No Labels, a 3rd party seeking to run a centrist in 2024 but he opted
against that bid. He has offered opinions on political issues and even teased the idea of running
in 2020 over what he called a lack of real leadership from both parties. He has criticized
primary elections as his issues against the US political system. He has the popularity and the
following and could take a shot in 2024, or wait another 4 years.
Business is Business
Cuban has founded more than 10 companies since 1983. He made his first billions after selling
Broadcast.com to Yahoo for $5.7 billion in 1999. Cuban knows how to start up successful
ventures and that is definitely in the cards. But would it be a tech company or maybe something
else? Other betting markets offer specific options, so wager at your own risk.
