Vig & Juice – Against the Rules S4, Eps. 1-2: Protecting the Integrity of Sports
Vig & Juice is a podcast discussing the history and legality of gambling and sports betting in the U.S. hosted by three attorneys who practice Sports & Gaming Law at Vela Wood.
In this episode of Vig & Juice, we begin with an overview of the current sports betting landscape and then introduce a new miniseries we’re launching to discuss season 4 of Against the Rules with Michael Lewis, which covers sports betting. In this episode we discuss legal topics related to episodes 1 and 2 of Against the Rules, including the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (“PASPA”), which was passed with the intention of protecting the purity of sports.
