Way Down In The Hole

From the Financial Times:

 

U.S. gamblers are expected to wager a record $16 billion on Sunday’s Super Bowl, according to industry projections, as the growing reach of online sports betting entices a rush of new customers.

 

Some 30 million adults in the US plan to place a bet on the game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs through an online betting platform or a retail betting shop, up from 18.2 million for last year’s event, the American Gaming Association has estimated.

 

This year’s Super Bowl, which is the game’s 57th edition, will be held in Arizona and for the first time in a state where sports betting is legal since a landmark Supreme Court ruling in 2018 opened up the industry. “It will be the first time you see people in the stands able to take out their phones and bet,” said Matt Kalish, DraftKings co-founder and North American president.
