The president of the United States has spoken. And apparently, the leader of the free world is not against sports betting?

During an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Monday night, U.S. President Barack Obama made light of current status of sports betting in the country while talking about the Super Bowl 50.

“After every Super Bowl, I call the winning team to congratulate them,” Obama said, “and sometimes, I also call the losing team, especially if I bet on them.”
