Vegas took in 151 mil last year

[JR007]

49% nfl
22% nba
14% mlb

pretty obvious betting nfl is a" losing" proposition

[Vegas_bond]

MLB looks good for punters.

[lemart5]

They took in more than that you ass crack with regular revenues.

[Fishhead]

MLB looks good for punters.

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

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

[BIGDAY]

Hit a nice MMA parlay last time I was in Vegas!

[SpreadSniper]

thats odd.... I have consistently made more money betting NFL than any other sport over the passed 4-5 years.

Nhl?

[tblues2005]

They have a lot more action on the NFL and College football.

[jjgold]

All sports tough

Pick your spots

[vyomguy]

thats coz they get the most action on NFL....people dont bet on MLB that much.

they get 10 times the action in NFL as compared to MLB.

[Rich Boy]

I believe that

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

JJ, what spots are you picking today?

[Scorpion]

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

[Sawyer]

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

[Cabo]

What then is the percantage wagered on College sports?

[Ralphie Halves]

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.

[ryanjep]

have to agree with the volume statements but still think its the toughest sport

[sneak-a-peak]

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!

[pozzy]

I need to start betting more baseball lol..

[maxvalue1]

Do you know if there gross handle is up this year?...was thinking people are not spending what they use to

[romecloneout]

wow, would have thought they made more than that

[jarvol]

$151 million plus Teddy's house.

[pavyracer]

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

[Bill Dozer]

Right, they paid the most winners in NFL too.

[DwightShrute]

no hockey betting for you next year

[d2bets]

not in vegas....

a line is still a line tho, wheter its in vegas or my backyard, whats the difference?

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

[JR007]

Yeah: i heard this on sports radio so I cannot give you any more than what I heard......makes sense though.....NFL is tough
