by Fred Fuld III

Can you believe it? Now Disney (DIS) is getting into sports betting through its ESPN division and an agreement with Penn Entertainment (PENN).

Sports betting is legal in 37 states and Washington, D.C. as of August 2023. The first state to legalize sports betting after the Supreme Court overturned the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) in 2018 was New Jersey. Since then, there has been a rapid expansion of sports betting in the United States.

The states that have legalized sports betting have different laws and regulations governing the industry. Some states allow only in-person betting, while others allow both in-person and online betting. Some states have a monopoly on sports betting, while others allow multiple operators to offer sports betting services.

The growth of sports betting in the United States has been driven by a number of factors, including the popularity of fantasy sports, the increasing availability of mobile devices, and the legalization of sports betting in more states. The industry is expected to continue to grow in the coming years, as more states legalize sports betting and more people become interested in betting on sports.

Top Sports Betting Stocks

In 2018,  the Supreme Court came decided that betting on sports in all states is legal, with each state to determine whether or not to allow this form of gambling.

Sports betting is now legal in 36 states.

According to a report last September from Morgan Stanley, “By 2025, sports betting revenue could eclipse $7 billion.”

So betting on sports is a major growing business, which will eventually be very granular in terms of available bets. For example, with the net pitch be a ball or a strike.

Of course, the major casino companies are involved in this industry, such as Caesars Entertainment Inc. (CZR) and MGM Resorts International(MGM), however there are few pure plays.

For example there is Flutter Entertainment (PDYPY) and DraftKings (DKNG).

For more diversification, there is a sports betting ETF, the Roundhill Sports Betting & iGaming ETF (BETZ).

Flutter Entertainment, which was formerly Paddy Power Betfair, is based in Dublin, Ireland. The company owns FanDuel, Paddy Power, Betfair, Fox Bet, Full Tilt Poker and PokerStars

The stock trades Over-the-Counter in the United States and has a $25.7 billion market cap. It is currently negative earnings.

Boston, Massachusetts based DraftKings, a provider of sports betting and daily fantasy sports, originally went public through a SPAC.

The stock has a market cap of $8.2 billion and trades on NASDAQ. Earnings are currently negative.

However, the quarterly revenue growth year-over-year is 80.7%. It has $3.76 in cash per share.

Maybe a bet on one of these stocks will provide a winner for your portfolio.

Stocks Going Ex Dividend in June 2021

The following is a short list of some of the many stocks going ex dividend during the next month.

Many traders and investors use the stock trading technique called ‘Buying Dividends,’ also commonly referred to as ‘Dividend Capture.’ This is the strategy of buying stocks before the ex dividend date and selling the stock shortly after the ex date at about the same price, yet still being entitled to the dividend.

This technique generally works in bull markets and flat or choppy markets, but you need to avoid the strategy during bear markets. In order to be entitled to the dividend, you have to buy the stock before the ex-dividend date, and you can’t sell the stock until after the ex date.

The actual dividend may not be paid for another few weeks. WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has compiled a downloadable and sortable list of the stocks going ex dividend in the near future. The list contains many dividend paying companies, lots with market caps over $500 million, and some with yields over 2%. Here are a few examples showing the stock symbol, the ex-dividend date, the periodic dividend amount.

HP Inc. (HPQ) 6/8/2021 0.194 2.60%
MGM Resorts International (MGM) 6/9/2021 0.002 0.02%
Merck & Company, Inc. (MRK) 6/14/2021 0.65 3.43%

Two years ago, the Supreme Court allowed betting on sports in all states, with each state deciding whether to allow this form of gambling or not. Several states have already legalized online sports betting. Many more states are considering legislation.
