Recently saw a story on Yahoo Sports (link below) that talks about the NBA looking into the possibility of legalized sports betting. This is a story to follow quite closely as it moves its way through the court system. The recent estimates done by Eilers & Krejcik Gaming is that sports betting legalization would be roughly a $6 billion dollar industry.
Would sports leagues like the NBA, MLB, NFL love to get in on that action to draw in more revenues? You bet.
