Effort Grows To Legalize Sports Betting Across The Country

The American Gaming Association estimates Americans spend more than $150 billion in bets on sporting events every year. And, many of those bets are placed illegally.

But there’s a growing effort to legalize sports betting across the country, and The Show’s Mark Brodie is here with more on that.

Whether the NBA Finals is your game, or the Super Bowl, or random Wednesday night baseball games, states are looking to get a cut of the action.

I spoke with Dustin Gouker about this. He’s managing editor for LegalSportsReport.com.
