The Explosion of Legalized Sports Gambling

The Super Bowl is one of the biggest sports betting days of the year, and it’s now legal to bet on the Super Bowl in more than 30 states.  Host Roy Wood Jr. sits down with Daily Show correspondent, Michael Kosta and gambling industry reporter for ESPN, David Purdum, for a conversation about how professional sports leagues are embracing the new profit potential, whether the ease of access to mobile sports betting makes people more vulnerable to gambling addiction, and what’s being done to enforce responsible gambling.   Watch the original segment:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_WKErpF1ZM See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
