A look inside the numbers of sports betting in the U.S. and overseas

Tracking Gambling by Game

Betting on football, baseball and basketball each hit on an all-time high in Nevada at 2017, according to the UNLV Center for Gambling Research. However, the landscape has changed in recent decades.
Even though the quantity of money bet yearly on football over the past four decades has stayed relatively flat, last year’s soccer share was 36 percent, the lowest rate since at least 1992, when the state started making sport-specific statistics out there.
Baseball in 2017 made up more than 23% of the general swimming pool, the maximum for that game since generating 25 percent in 2001.
The”other” category, which includes hockey, soccer and many other sports, made up a record 9 percent of betting last year, doubling the share it had in 2005. Casino operators have reported a rise in NHL betting since the Vegas Golden Knights started play last fall.
Basketball’s share has ranged from 28 to 31 percent for the past six years, and also the $1.48 billion wagered in 2017 was double the game’s 2011 betting.
