Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group have received a welcome boost after a motion to legalise gambling in their home state of Massachusetts was passed in the US.
FSG have their roots in Boston through their long-time ownership of the Boston Red Sox baseball team and will now have additional revenue streams to tap into after Massachusetts joined a list of more than 30 US states that have legalised betting on professional and college sports since the blanket ban on gambling was lifted by the US Supreme Court back in 2018.
State by state, sports betting has become legalised and with major markets such as New York already passing their own motions some time ago there was pressure to add Massachusetts to the list, something that opens up plenty of opportunities for the state's professional sporting teams; the Red Sox, Boston Celtics, New England Patriots and Boston Bruins among them.
