Sports betting/gambling is one of the fastest growing industries in both professional and collegiate athletics. Since being nationally legalized in 2018, the sports gambling industry has already generated billions in annual revenue.

Listen in as we briefly explain how sports betting works, discuss the pros and cons of sports betting, and take a look at where the industry is headed.
