These enhancements were added in version 3.9 of the app, available now in the App Store. Turning off betting odds previously required using the Settings app.

The app shows scores, stats, standings, and more for a variety of leagues and events, including the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, NASCAR, F1, Premier League, PGA TOUR, and more.

I absolutely love this app. I deleted Bleacher Report and all the other sports crap on my iPhone. Great that you can ignore all the betting stuff, too. Now if I could get Fat Tony Provenzano to lower his vig. What am I, a schmuck on wheels?
