Gray Television said that it is launching Beat The Odds, a weekly sports betting series, on 100 of its stations starting September 2.

The series is being produced by Gray’s Las Vegas station KVVU-TV and its Tupelo Media production company and comes at a time when sports betting is becoming one of the fastest-growing TV advertising categories as wagering becomes legal in more states.
