Has Sports Betting Changed the Game for the Bettor?
Manage episode 461465211 series 2097742
In the nearly seven years since the Supreme Court legalized sports betting, it has exploded as an industry. Last year, 67.8 million Americans put down bets worth a total of $23 billion on the Super Bowl alone. And where once official leagues like Major League Baseball decried betting as an “evil” that would damage the sport, now gambling on games and players’ performances is being embraced as wholesome entertainment. As fans put down bets ahead of the national college football championship this Monday, we’ll talk to sports betting experts about how gambling has impacted sports, the players, and the people who bet on them.

Ryan Rodenberg, professor, Florida State University
Danny Funt, journalist, Funt has written for the Washington Post about sports betting. His forthcoming book on sports betting is titled, "Everybody Loses"
