Three Takeaways as New York Sports Betting Heads into Memorial Day

Here are three takeaways in New York sports betting for the week ending May 22:

Second Consecutive Decline

New York sports betting total handle and Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) decreased for the second consecutive week as the state’s overall total handle came in at $261.15 million. The number marked the lowest full week since the state launched sports wagering during the weekend of Jan. 8-9, when the total was $171.29 million. Keep in mind, though, that was for a weekend, not a full week.

The weekly GGR posted at $23.48 million, its second straight weekly decrease since its second-highest GGR of the year at $37 million for the week ending May 8.

Although last among the live eight, Resorts World posted a total weekly handle of $1.49M, up from $1.21M a week earlier. Its weekly GGRwas $155,860, a huge increase from $27,897 the previous week and the second highest since the week ending April 17 ($160,730).

Mets, Yankees Strong Seasons; Inflation Could Be Key

With the New York Yankees and New York Mets both getting off to tremendous starts to their seasons – leading the AL East and NL East, respectively – bettors always will have opportunities heading into the start of summer.

The United States economy could be having an effect on the industry as more bettors might tend to keep their cash in their wallets and bank accounts as prices for every product and service seem to have increased steadily over the last few months.

However, there is hope as betting on the National Football League returns to the national stage two months from next Saturday. At that time the exhibition season will start as the Jacksonville Jaguars face the Las Vegas Raiders in the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio (Aug. 4, 8 p.m.).

All bettors will be happy for that opportunity to come around.
