   Where It Stops, No One Knows

   While new scandals coming to light weekly, the growth of online sports betting hasn’t slowed. There are still new markets and opportunities to explore, including women’s and youth sports. In fact, it is difficult to imagine who could ever disrupt this wildly successful industry – except, of course, an industry that’s figured out a way around all the rules and regulations.

   Money Changes People

   The question of how legal sports betting has changed, and will continue to change, the culture of sports is a complicated one. The wide array of platforms and products certainly increases opportunity and decreases risk for bad actors to influence athletes or impermissibly utilize inside information. On the other hand, technology advances and data sharing have made anomalies easier to detect. And while wagers may increase emotional investment that benefits the bottom line, that emotion often spills over onto athletes in undesirable ways.
