Alexis Madrigal: 体育博彩已经成为一个巨大的产业，并且其在体育界的地位已经从被谴责为“邪恶”转变为被拥抱为健康的娱乐。体育博彩彻底改变了体育媒体以及人们谈论这种娱乐方式的方式。 Ryan Rodenberg: 1992年的《职业和业余体育保护法案》(PASPA)禁止各州合法化体育博彩，但该法案最终被最高法院裁定违宪。最高法院的裁决基于第十修正案，即如果国会不直接监管某个领域，各州可以自行决定是否监管。州监管的体育博彩公司无法提供信用赌博，而非法博彩公司可以。体育博彩合法化带来了税收收入，但其对非法博彩市场的替代作用和对新增赌徒的影响还有待进一步研究。 Danny Funt: 体育博彩产业主要由FanDuel和DraftKings两家公司主导，但拉斯维加斯的博彩业仍然存在，并且该产业还在不断增长。非法体育博彩市场仍然存在，规模巨大。每日幻想体育（DFS）与体育博彩的界限模糊，一些州认为两者没有区别。体育联盟对体育博彩的态度转变是由于巨额资金的诱惑以及博彩者对体育赛事的参与度提高。体育博彩合法化后，运动员面临来自赌徒的骚扰和威胁。体育博彩应用程序通过简化术语和使用类似约会应用的功能来吸引年轻用户，尤其针对年轻男性。 David Purdum: 体育联盟对体育博彩的担忧被夸大了，合法化提高了透明度，使检测异常行为成为可能。体育博彩公司在识别和帮助问题赌徒方面做得不够好。未来可能会出现广告限制，但体育联盟已经基本全面接受了体育博彩。

In the nearly seven years since the Supreme Court legalized sports betting, it has exploded as an industry. Last year, 67.8 million Americans put down bets worth a total of $23 billion on the Super Bowl alone. And where once official leagues like Major League Baseball decried betting as an “evil” that would damage the sport, now gambling on games and players’ performances is being embraced as wholesome entertainment. As fans put down bets ahead of the national college football championship this Monday, we’ll talk to sports betting experts about how gambling has impacted sports, the players, and the people who bet on them.
