Fans decide their top sportsbook among the 16 New Jersey heavyweights entered.

Did sports-betting pioneer DraftKings look past the group that was launched in Canada? Did the Score’s previous reputation as a Canadian network resonate with voters?

For DraftKings, a stunning tweet defeat.

The performance had fans recalling March Madness upsets. Yeah, Villanova was an 8^th seed and won it all by beating Georgetown. Maybe the Score book is for real.

What message does the DraftKings loss send d to FanDuel, another industry pioneer going against BetAmerica on Friday.? All bets are on

Another interesting matchup unfolds Thursday, with Golden Nugget and odds-optimizing PointsBet looking to establish position.

Looking ahead:

Wednesday features Bet MGM versus Resorts.

First-round matches run until March 23.

That will cut the field to eight. Second-round contests bring the field to four. Semifinals and the finals follow.
