New York Sets Record for Sports Betting Handle in September: Sports Betting Dime
In a record-breaking month for sports betting, New York reported massive numbers for the month of September. According to Sports Betting Dime, the state saw a surge in betting activity as sports fans flocked to place their bets on their favorite teams and players.
The New York State Gaming Commission reported a total handle of over $1 billion for the month of September, marking a significant increase from previous months. This spike in betting activity can be attributed to the start of the NFL season, as well as the MLB playoffs and the start of the NBA and NHL seasons.
With the legalization of sports betting in New York in 2019, the state has seen a steady increase in betting activity each year. The convenience of mobile betting apps has also contributed to the surge in betting, allowing sports fans to place their bets from the comfort of their own homes.
While the numbers for September are certainly impressive, experts predict that the trend will continue as more states legalize sports betting and the industry continues to grow. With an exciting lineup of sporting events in the coming months, New York is poised to see even more record-breaking numbers in the world of sports betting.
