We may have gotten a late start, but American sports betting will be the biggest market in the world by 2026. A new study by the Gambling Compliance group finds that the market was valued at $7.7 billion last year, but that number could triple by 2026. The organization claims that American sports betting will be worth over $24 billion in another four years, making it the largest globally and double to size of the British market.

Now, manager Gregg Berhalter has a new task: to take a national team who are betting underdogs as far as he possibly can in Qatar. The question on the minds of soccer fans looking at World Cup betting is a simple one: How far is that? It’s a fair question….

The November elections are closing in faster that it seems, and sports betting in California is in the cross hairs. There will be at least two competing ballot measures put before voters, both of which seek to legalize and regulate the activity. But that’s about the only thing they have in common.
