In the five years since the Supreme Court’s decision, Americans have bet more than $220 billion on sports through legal gambling services. In 2019, sports betting at two casinos, Harrah’s Cherokee Valley River Casino and Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort, was legalized in North Carolina, and due to a law passed earlier this year, online sports betting sites will be legalized by an unspecified date in 2024, the latest possible being June 15, according to WFDD. The effects of this decision have reverberated across the country as more than 30 states have now legalized sports betting in some form - including online gambling. Supreme Court struck the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992, a federal law that prevented the majority of states from legalizing sports betting. “If we’re watching it, we’re betting on it,” said a senior sports bettor whom the Old Gold & Black granted anonymity due to the fact that sports betting outside of casinos is illegal in North Carolina. Whenever a sporting event is happening anywhere in the world, it is safe to assume that somewhere, somehow, someone is betting on it - and this rings true at Wake Forest University.
