Akron Roundtable - Alex Shephard

Season 2025 Episode 10 | 56m 59s

Alex Shephard, senior editor of The New Republic, speaks about sports gambling. After the Supreme Court struck down a federal law prohibiting sports betting in 2018, states across the country quickly struck down their own bans. Today, 38 states not only allow residents to gamble on sports, they have opened up app-based betting that allows residents to wager on sports from their phones.
