AV and Oz,

Yes we invented sports betting.

If it wasn't American that hung the first number on a sporting event, pounded his chest and announced to the world they were open for bidness, then who was it?

Maybe some ancient Romans bet on which Christian would die last when they fed them to the lions, but for institutionalized, consumer based sports betting, it was us.

Stings like a bitch, I know.
