Derek Jeter Unveils New BetMGM Partnership and Recalls Acting Advice Spike Lee Gave Him at 21 (EXCLUSIVE)
Yankees legend Derek Jeter talks about his new BetMGM partnership and campaign, plus reveals his "sleeper" team to watch for the 2025 baseball season.
“I come from being a professional athlete and I’ve seen how gambling and the industry has completely changed over the last ten years or so,” he says, adding, “It’s been kind of fun to watch, because it brings a lot of excitement to the fan base.” Though he admits he’s not much of a gambler himself — “I would play blackjack, but at the $5 table,” he jokes — Jeter credits sportsbooks like BetMGM with bringing betting into the mainstream, comparing the online wagering platform to fantasy sports. Part of his new pace has been building out Cap 2 Productions, with the recent release of a World Series documentary for Apple TV+ called “Fight for Glory,” along with projects with ESPN and The History Channel, among others.
