New York Post readers can now read editorials on sports betting from Brent Musburger and other personalities at Las Vegas’ VSiN. (Image: New York Post\/Ethan Miller\/Getty\/Casino.org)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Vegas Stats & Information Network, stylized VSiN, recently formed a partnership with the New York Post<\/i> to provide the news source with two feature-length articles each week. VSiN broadcasts live seven days a week from its South Point Casino studio in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

VSiN founder Brent Musburger, the iconic sports play-by-play broadcaster who left ESPN <\/i>in January 2017<\/a> to focus on the sports gambling network, is one of the columnists who will regularly contribute to the Post<\/i>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Musburger’s first article served as a primer for Post <\/i>readers interested in placing a bet on professional baseball. The legendary broadcaster explained there are more bets offered than the traditional moneyline.<\/p>\n

He singles out futures on World Series odds, which player will end the regular season with the most home runs, and who will win the AL and NL MVP awards.<\/p>\n

\n

The point of all this is that there are many ways to enjoy the baseball season outside of the daily grind,” Musburger concludes.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The New York Post <\/i>is the seventh-largest newspaper in terms of circulation in the US. The New York Gaming Commission is working on regulations to allow the state’s four upstate casinos<\/a> to begin offering sports betting.<\/p>\n

Media Bets on Gambling<\/b><\/h2>\n

Musburger was known for referencing point spreads and over\/unders while broadcasting college football and basketball games. At the time, his superiors at ESPN <\/i>reportedly told him to knock it off, as gambling on collegiate sports was illegal outside Nevada.<\/p>\n

But May’s decision by the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) that the longstanding federal ban was unconstitutional has given legitimacy to sports betting.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

SCOTUS’ 6-3 opinion that the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 violated anti-commandeering interpretations of the Tenth Amendment has led to VSiN striking several media deals. Along with the Post<\/i>, the sports betting network has partnered to provide content with St. Louis radio station 101ESPN<\/i>, Cheddar<\/i>, a streaming financial news platform geared towards the millennial, and horse racing network TVG<\/i>.<\/p>\n

More On Way<\/b><\/h2>\n

Delaware and New Jersey have joined Nevada in allowing its casinos to offer full-fledged sports betting. Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Mississippi have sports wagering laws passed, and another 15 states have legislation introduced to regulate the activity.<\/p>\n

\n

With sportsbooks expected to expand to states across the country, the odds are strong that media outlets will look to incorporate coverage into their mediums.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“I do see more programming being added, locally, nationally, and everywhere else,” ESPN<\/i> Program Director Adam Delevitt told the Chicago Sun-Times <\/i>this week. “We continue to work on many angles in that area.”<\/p>\n

“We will be taking the heightened interest in sports gambling into consideration as we plan coverage each day,” Sun-Times<\/i> Sports Editor Chris De Luca added. “The growth in sports gambling will mean a growing interest in the sports news that means the most to those gamblers.”<\/p>\n

To highlight the importance of sports betting media, ESPN<\/i>, amid continued subscription cuts, announced several rounds of layoffs in 2017. But the sports leader didn’t axe reporters in its “Chalk” division, which is focused on sports betting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
