Gambling has become ubiquitous at nearly every level of every sport these days. The organizers of the Little League World Series would like it to stay away [from] their tournament.
With the LLWS in full swing, Little League International released a statement Thursday stating there is no place for sports betting on its games or any other youth competition…
While no major sportsbooks offer odds on a tournament that features children ranging from 10 to 12 years old, the same is not true for unregulated, overseas sportsbooks. The brand manager of one such firm, in its fourth year of offering LLWS odds, told the Patch it will see more bets on Little League games than “any professional tennis or soccer match over the next two weeks.”
