#3So much for the new sports betting industry in New Jersey being a boon for everyone from the horse racing industry to the state's taxpayers.
In October, local gamblers showed they're getting the hang of this whole sports wagering thing. Because while total handle for the state rose to a record $260.7 million during the second month of football season, up from $186 million in September, the gross revenue generated by the sports books made dropped precipitously.
Despite that 41 percent increase in handle, sports books in the state generated revenues of just $11.7 million in October, down 51 percent from the $24 million generated in September.
It's all because the win percentage for the sports books fell from 7.9 percent in September to 5.8 percent in October.
And all this after revenues rose from $9.2 million in August up to $24 million in September.
Much of the increase in the total handle in October stems from the expansion of online gaming platforms, with online wagering rising $174 million, up from $105 million a month earlier.
The FanDuel Sportsbook at the New Meadowlands Racetrack saw revenues tumble to just $1.1 million, down from $4.37 million in September, while its online revenues fell from $2.8 million to $2.4 million in October.
A statement released by FanDuel highlighted the growth of the market, rather than the dropoff in profits.
``October was a great month,'' the statement said. ``Demand for the FanDuel Sportsbook continues to outpace our expectations with online handle 2.5 times higher than September and continued double digit growth in retail handle. It was an exciting month for bettors who won at a high rate on football and benefitted from our industry-leading pricing and odds boosts. We will continue to offer New Jersey customers the best pricing and promotions in the industry and are looking forward to further growth in NJ and beyond.''
At the Monmouth Park Sports Book by William Hill, revnues fell to just $606,981, after posting revenues of $2.1 million in September. Monmouth Park did experience a surge online, however, with those number rising from $70,785 last month to $608,611Comment -

#4Bookies all over the world got barbequed in October......all it took was one week off 10 nfl favorites covering ATS.
Draftkings opening a 5k square foot sportsbook on the boardwalk at Resorts AC. Weird considering Resorts is Pokerstars land based casino rep for their poker platform. Betstars has no plans yet for land based brick & mortar bookComment -

#19Re NYState...four casinos could open a prior approved sports book with a simple approval of the gaming commission but apparently our Gov has decided not to do so for some bizarre and unknown political reason...what a wasted opportunity, so typical when it comes to gaming in NYState.I reside near Tioga Downs and they are very frustrated with this scenario....
BTW the owner of TD is billionaire

#29FanDuel opened their sportsbook in Valley Forge today.
Not bad--- not a temporary space, they did it right. Opened it up in time for March Madness---Is a great place to sit and gamble.
It's in an upscale neighborhood of King of Prussia---- right where 422/76/Turnpike all meet.Comment -

Article about the sportsbook losing over half a million bucks last month
But all of them had an overall profit when including online.
If that trend continues I can't see big investment in offline facilities continuing for very long..Comment
