My article is about how the Government should not ban betting on college sports. I agree with this because it is legal to do it and it brings in allot of excitement to the games. It also could bring money for the college because it will bring the fans to the games. Another reason they should not ban it is because it would cause allot of illegal gambling more than there already is. Some states is An estimated 40 million Americans currently wager $6 billion illegally every weekend during the entire 20-week college and pro football season alone. The top state that wants this is Nevada. Currently, approximately 99 percent of all sports gambling takes place illegally outside of Nevada. Gambling and betting is a widely accepted form of recreation in this country and has been an integral part of our history. When our founding fathers needed money to finance the American Revolution, they held a lottery. Today, 47 states permit lotteries, horse and dog racing, commercial and Indian casinos, and/or video poker. Only Hawaii, Utah, and Tennessee have no form of legalized gambling. Since our culture sends the message that gambling is mainstream recreation, it will only make matters worse to deal with illegal sports gambling by making it illegal in Nevada, the one state where these activities are legal and closely monitored.
This Video is not just about college sports but all sports betting. This is a good video to show how much people could benefit from sports betting.
