The state of New York has joined New Jersey, Nevada, and others this month, becoming the latest place in America to legally allow sports fans to wager on games. Supporters say the market allows gamblers to play safe vets without turning to organized crime, bookies. Critics claim the move will hurt lower-income Americans and increase gambling addiction. which it will. Here are the facts. In 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a 1992 law
Starting point is 00:09:15 that limited sports bets to places that already allowed other forms of gambling like Las Vegas and Atlantic City. So that law went out the window. In just four years, the betting industry went, from bookmakers only to an accepted pastime. Now sports betting is legal in more than 30 states, with 18 having some form of online wagering. It has quickly become a tax flow for government. Some municipalities charge a 25% tax on winnings, others of 40% tax on all transactions. In its first weekend, the four legal sports operators in New York State took in 150 million bucks. 650,000 unique player accounts were created. That grew to 1.2 million accounts by the end of the first week.
Starting point is 00:10:14 Goldman Sachs estimates that online sports betting and internet gambling revenues in the USA will grow from 900 million to 39 billion to 39 builds. billion by the next decade. And here's something else you might not know. Beware, Americans hoping to make it rich by picking a Super Bowl winner should think again. Experts in Vegas and data analytic companies in New York now use artificial intelligence to calculate the odds of football games and other sporting events. Sophisticated computer software gives casinos and sports betting companies a major advantage. Regardless of your knowledge or research, the typical gambler has less than a 40% chance of beating the odds.
