Now MLB might re-evaluate their take on legal sports gambling

[BriGuy]

First the new NBA commissioner talks about getting on board with sports gambling and now it looks like MLB may join them.

Looks like the leagues are coming around to realize something I have been saying all along: Legal sports gambling will be good for the sports because, like fantasy sports, it gives people another reason to watch - and, in many cases, watch until the end. Plus there is talk they could charge sportsbooks a little licensing fee.

The NFL is a behemoth that doesn't need it, but it looks like the other leagues are seeing a potential new revenue stream and increased interest.
