In a truly monumental announcement, Ted Leonsis has put the Washington Wizards and Washington Capitols at the forefront of sports gambling in the United States.
It was announced earlier this week that betting firm William Hill will set up shop in Capital One Arena, establishing the first sportsbook in America to be located inside of a major sporting venue. William Hill currently runs over 100 retail sports-betting outlets in the U.S., along with online betting. They also have a large presence in London.
The goal here is obvious: make money. I mean it’d gambling. Duh.
