U.S. sports betting road: How the western world made its first steps?

The U.S. betting history is as exciting as its actual one. After so many years of keeping the guard up high, NCAA along with the four major professional sports leagues (NBA, NHL, MLB and NFL) was overwhelmed by the spread of legal sports betting.

The 14th of May, 2018 was the date that set the start of the long-lasting process. The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (PASPA), which kept all the sports save from being bet on outside of Nevada state was ruled out by the Supreme Court. 

Just in under the year time, Nevada was accompanied by seven more states. Altogether accumulating nearly $8 billion in profits. Montana, Indiana, Iowa and Washington D.C. have also passed the bills. Several other states are on the edge of following the trend. Experts say, that by the end of 2024 around 70% of all the states in America will be fully legalized in terms of betting.
