Hi and welcome.

Online Poker is growing massively in Europe, with it being very popular in the UK and also Scandinavian Countries.

European Poker rooms are fast growing in size and also many sites do not allow US players hence they are popular with the Europeans - As it is well known US Players are leaders in the field.

That said there are many Euro Poker Portals which allow US citizens to play. So it's good for fishing

As for sports betting that is still very popular and always will be. There is definately a cross over now though that Poker is getting more television coverage and popularity in the main stream press.
