and exploit them you might remember in the early 2000s the NFL refused to allow Las Vegas promoters to run gambling advertisements during the Super Bowl now the Super Bowl will be hosted in the city most known for its gambling I'm back with Courtney from the fact check team and as legal sports betting continues to grow how many adults are going to bet this year well according to the American gaming Association more than a quarter of American adults plan tiet this year which is 35% higher than la
st year marking a record high of 68 million people and in total Wagers are expected to add up to $23.1 billion up from 16 billion last year and with more and more States legalizing betting are people going to participate more that's a good question so traditional Wagers placed online at a retail sports book or with a bookie are expected to pass casual ones with friends or part of a pool for the second year in a row because of the shift I also want to note that this is the first year that people
can place legal Super Bowl bets in Florida Massachusetts Kentucky Maine Vermont and Nebraska was a growing discussion certainly Nationwide so thank you for that Courtney and for more on this topic including links to the fact check team sources scan the QR code you see right there on your screen or visit the national death.com
