    Vegas took in 151 mil last year

    49% nfl
    22% nba
    14% mlb

    pretty obvious betting nfl is a" losing" proposition

    Baseball is a Vegas bookies nightmare...............for most anyways.

    They can't cover the nut(expenses) with the low hold percentage.

    I believe that

    Those % are useless without the actual amount wagered per sport.

    The reason its only 14% is because squares dont bet on MLB, if they did I bet it would be over 40%

    Vegas books still made money on MLB

    You cant win betting sports

    If NFL is 49%, NBA %22 and MLB is %14 then hockey is %15? (should be lower then %5 imo)

    That 49% is due to sheer volume bet, and PARLAY CARDS. At South Point on NFL Sundays, there are three separate lines at the window just for dumbass parlay card players. Books make bank off those things. So much so, that they'll take out tons of money just to advertise them on TV.

    ya football is not beatable long term..... sure you can have some good seasons but forget about beating it year in and year out

    with the right approach mlb and then to a lesser degree nba is where its at!

    People who live in Vegas are bad gamblers. What the heck do they know about NFL when their city doesn't have a team?

    With that attitude, I'm rather surprised you could beat the NFL.
