Gambling911.com Marketing – WSEX, Legends and NBA Playoffs Center Stage
Saturday’s traffic numbers typically feature more of a lean towards sports. Even with the NBA Playoffs kicking off Saturday, there was still a substantial audience for gambling news outside of the sports betting realm, much of this due to breaking news regarding World Sports Exchange’s closure and continuing coverage of Legends Sports legal issues.
