S3 COMING SOON | The long road to legal sports betting in North Carolina

Starting March 11, sports betting will be legal in North Carolina, but getting to this point was not an easy path. From the scandal of the Dixie Classic in the early 60's to the controversial vote for the NC Lottery, the state has a contentious history with gambling. 

Brian Murphy from WRAL News and Tim Donnelly from 99.9 The Fan explore the history of sports betting in North Carolina. What did it take to get to this point, and how will it change sports and sports fans going forward.

Season 3 of A Brief History of Triangle Sports will be available March 11, 2024. (That's the same day you can place your bets...legally of course.)

Brief histories of North Carolina sports from college basketball giants to Stanley Cup winners and the pro football team that lasted a single season.

This podcast is produced by 99.9 The Fan in Raleigh, NC and part of the Capitol Broadcasting Podcast Network.
