During the modern era of sports, sports gambling has mostly been illegal with some exceptions such as horse racing and a few other sports. Currently today there are 30 states that have legalized sports gambling and offer it to residents. Many gamble on teams for the thrill of it, to try and make money and unfortunately many do it to chase their losses. It adds excitement to your favorite team’s game that night or to the random tuesday night basketball game that you would never normally watch.
This is a market that is exploding in today’s world and will continue to do so as this service to the public becomes easier and easier to obtain for many. Being able to get in on the action from the comfort of your own home, with a couple simple taps on your phone app makes it much easier and enjoyable for many as there is no longer a need to take cash out of the bank and go stand in a long line at a casino. This podcast talks about what sports betting is, how you can get involved, why the odds are stacked against you, touches on some key sit-downs I had and much more.
