You are welcome.

Unfortunately, the networks are the only ones who have access to any gambling related data (aka activity). As a result, you won't see too many people talk about that part of the equation because there is nothing out there to support their position (for or against). Given the amount of gambling ads people see now and how easy it is to gamble, I do think it has the potential to be a bigger player than people realize. Particularly if the cable industry is transitioning from the linear model to the streaming model which could include offering live sporting events a la carte.
