I don't think the traditional sports fan is at all even close to a minority % of the degenerate gambler that these betting apps are praying on. Possibly people who will dabble occasionally, but even that is unlikely imo.
Sports markets are shrinking because the cost of attending games is getting so out of control that young fans are losing the opportunity to experience live pro sports.
