(Gloucestercitynews.net)(April 15, 2020)--For many years, the National Football League, National Basketball Association, National Hockey League, and Major League Baseball joined hands in trying to stop the spread of sports betting. However, the legalization of sports betting in various states in 2018 stopped them in their tracks. 

At least 16 states have so far passed legislation allowing sports gambling. With these developments, the future of sports betting in America seems to be a bright one. The industry has the potential to become more diverse, refining itself to individual users and branching out from the major sports to the least popular ones. 

Here’s a look at some of the things to expect in the country’s sports gambling market in the coming years:

Large Tech Firms Will be Mega Bookmakers

One of the things you can expect to see in the U.S. sports betting market is premier tech firms coming up us the leading bookmakers. The main reason tech companies want a stake in this industry is that sports gambling revolves around digital applications. 

In fact, major tech companies such as Google and Microsoft have been reviewing the sports betting laws. You can expect the entire scene of sports betting to change when a large media and tech company steps in.

These companies can change things, like developing new ways of generating profits in sports gambling or creating an algorithm that will revolutionize the entire industry. 

Professional Teams will Strike Betting Partnerships

As sports gambling becomes increasingly popular across the country, marketing opportunities will increase. In the next few years, you can expect to see most U.S. stadiums having some form of official sports betting sponsor. In fact, some teams in Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania, and New Jersey have struck such kinds of deals already. 

Mobile Betting Dominance

Most sports bettors prefer mobile sports gambling for unmatched convenience. You can expect the popularity of mobile betting in the United States to increase in the coming years. Besides convenience, mobile betting platforms also offer more options for in-play betting, which makes them more attractive. 

In-play sports gambling is a form of sports betting that can be very exciting. It allows you to place your bets while a game is on-going. The odds change continuously, and at times, the odds you can bet on vanish in seconds. 

As U.S. sports gambling companies grow and become more sophisticated, you can expect this form of mobile sports betting to continue. 

Robots Dominance

Contrary to the common belief, robots won’t completely take over the world in the future. Nonetheless, robots will play an integral role in various industries, including sports betting. You can expect robots to be the most sophisticated bettors in the future, not humans. 

The robots will be not only fast but also powerful, thanks to the raw information that will be flowing through them. For example, tech companies will place motion-tracking cameras in the stadiums, alongside microchips in helmets, uniforms, and even the balls. 

Overall, things are looking good for the U.S. sports betting market. As technology improves, more states legalize sports betting, and sports betting giants like SBOBET set up shop in the country, the industry will continue to gain prominence.
