3 Sports Betting Stocks Poised for a Bull Run

It's largely been lost in the noise of recent political rhetoric, but the United States sports betting industry is basking in the glow of November's progress.

Now that they're competing in earnest for tax and tourism revenue, many of the remaining states could soon follow suit. At stake is a piece of a multi-billion dollar market growing at a double-digit pace.
