到目前为止,已有20个州将体育博彩合法化。因此今年体育博彩活动会增多,这一领域也会受到更多关注。

Sports betting has a controversial history in the U.S.— highlighted by the 1919 Chicago White Sox scandal—but Americans’ relationship with sports betting could change in the next few years, says Barron’s associate editor Andrew Bary.

体育博彩在美国一直是个备受争议的话题,1919年芝加哥白袜队(Chicago White Sox)的丑闻就凸显了这一点。但《巴伦》副主编安德鲁·巴里(Andrew Bary)认为,未来几年美国人和体育博彩的关系可能会发生变化。

In the latest episode of The Readback, hosted by Alex Eule, Barron’s Andrew Bary explains why the states are rushing into legalizing sports betting.

在由亚历克斯·尤勒(Alex Eule)主持的最新一期《The Readback》中,安德鲁·巴里解释了美国各州为何纷纷推动体育博彩合法化。

“In 2018, The Supreme Court struck down a federal law that had effectively banned sports betting,” Bary says in the podcast. “So now it is up to the individual states to determine whether they want to allow up. And 20 states have so far legalized sports gambling. So, come this year, you’re going to see a lot more activity and a lot more attention being paid to the area.

“2018年,最高法院推翻了一项禁止体育博彩的联邦法律,”巴里在播客中说。“因此现在体育博彩是否合法是由各州自行决定的。到目前为止,已有20个州将体育博彩合法化。因此,今年体育博彩活动会增多,这一领域也会受到更多关注。”

“States see an opportunity: Right now, it is estimated that the amount of illegal sports activity in this country is worth around $150 billion a year. Most of that is being done via offshore, online sports gambling sites as well as traditional bookies. Many states have budget deficit and they see this as a good source of revenue.”

“各州看到了这样一个机会:目前,美国的非法体育博彩活动每年的价值约为1500亿美元,大多数博彩活动是在海外、体育博彩网站以及传统投注点进行的。由于许多州都存在预算赤字,因此他们认为这是很好的收入来源。”

In the new Readback episode, Bary and Eule discuss why New Jersey has become the epicenter of legalization sports betting, why fantasy football leaders DraftKings and FanDuel are likely to be the major players, and who else stands to benefit.

在本期《The ReadBack》中,巴里和尤勒讨论了新泽西州成为合法体育博彩中心的原因、虚拟体育游戏领头羊DraftKings和FanDuel可能成为该领域的主要参与者的原因、以及还有哪些公司能够从中受益。

Finally, the two discuss how legalized sports betting could forever change the way we view sports—maybe not for the better.

最后,两人讨论了体育博彩合法化将如何永远改变我们看待体育的方式——也许看法不会比以前更好。
