Amid all that, a fierce customer-acquisition battle is taking place between businesses like <strong>DraftKings, FanDuel, MGM, Caesars, and Wynn <\/strong>as more states legalize sports betting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, the fierce rivalry has had a major influence on the stock prices of these sports betting titans, with several reporting considerable losses over the previous two years.
