2019 Will Be Sports Betting’s Biggest Year Yet

Wanna bet? I do. And here it is: I bet that betting is going to be big. Just seven short months ago, the Supreme Court cleared the way for states to allow sports gambling if they want to. As states became free to decide if they want legal sports betting, it didn’t take long for several to move in that direction.

That was peanuts compared to the estimated $150 billion bet through illegal bookies around the country. And it leaves a whole lot of room for this transition from illegal to legal sports betting to be a huge opportunity.
