Sports betting continues to expand across the US. Legal books are operational in 21 states, and more are coming.<\/p>\n
But unlike in the UK, novelty bets remain largely prohibited in the US. Nevada, seen as the gold standard of the sports betting industry, has long barred allowing oddsmakers to take wagers on events other than sports. Novelty bets are odds on events other than sports, including politics and entertainment.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nIn the UK, however, novelty betting is a cherished pastime. But with the UK Department for Digital, Culture, Media, and Sports conducting an in-depth review of the 2005 Gambling Act – that amid outcries from critics that the industry is greatly damaging society – oddsmakers are taking the high road with the royal family.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nHarry and Meghan Odds<\/b><\/h2>\n
