100 American Football Betting Statistics for 2026

How much football handle does Illinois report?

The Illinois Gaming Board's All Wagering Activity Sport Detail reports separate channels and sport columns. Handle means money wagered within that table's reporting scope. It is not the operator's retained revenue, and repeated wagering can make it substantially different from deposits or the number of customers. Football is distinct from Soccer in the source; the table does not divide its Football column into professional and college competitions. Parlay appears as another column, so those wagers are not reassigned to football here. The selected monthly reports form a continuous administrative series. Each report was generated from the regulator's system at the saved snapshot date, which should not be mistaken for the original publication date of that month's figures. The original page below preserves both channel totals and their column headings.

What do Illinois football wager counts measure?

The wager-detail page provides a different measure from the handle-detail page. Its Football column records the source's wager counts by channel, instead of dollars staked. Counts are reproduced as supplied, including a fractional value in the saved report. That value is not silently rounded into a whole transaction count, and no unsupported explanation is assigned to it. These administrative totals should not be relabelled as customers, tickets held by distinct people or football matches. The separate Parlay column remains outside the selected Football cells. Reading the original table alongside the money series makes clear why one cannot substitute for the other. This article does not divide handle by the counts to manufacture an average bet, particularly where the reporting conventions would require further clarification from the producer.

What do Maryland's professional-football stakes and payouts show?

Maryland Lottery and Gaming publishes a Bets By Sport worksheet within its monthly sports-wagering workbooks. The selected row is Pro Football US. NCAA Football and Soccer are separate rows and are excluded from these observations. Total Wagered and Total Payouts are different monetary columns, so neither should be described as operator profit or tax receipts. The figures retain the worksheet's displayed whole-dollar precision instead of exposing longer cached floating-point values as additional accuracy. The selected months are not a continuous run: the missing month is not imputed, and no annual total is calculated. The original worksheet image preserves the row label and column headers needed to audit the selection. Neighbouring categories remain visible as context but contribute no counted observations to this article.

How does Maryland report professional-football hold?

The same Maryland worksheet includes Hold and Hold % columns beside stakes and payouts. This article reproduces those supplied cells, including the workbook's cached formula results, instead of calculating replacement values from already rounded display amounts. Hold is a monetary accounting measure; the rate is a percentage with a separate unit. Neither is a count of bettors, and a monthly aggregate rate is not a prediction for an individual wager. The professional US football row remains separate from the college-football row throughout. The original table below shows how those categories sit beside each other without combining them. Because displayed dollars are rounded independently, subtracting the printed payout amount from the printed stake amount may differ slightly from the producer's displayed hold. The source result is retained.

What does Nevada's football revenue table report?

Nevada's Gaming Revenue Report provides a statewide table for all nonrestricted locations. The Sports, Football row includes licensed locations, win amount and win percentage for the current month, followed by longer reporting windows. Only the current-month columns are selected here. Win amounts use thousands of dollars, whereas the percentage and location count have different units. Parentheses in the original monetary and percentage cells indicate negative values. Those signs are preserved, including large negative percentages; they are not probabilities and are not capped or converted into positive losses. The regulator's printed as-of date identifies the report snapshot, instead of the month being measured. The original excerpt below retains the multi-period headings so readers can distinguish the selected monthly cells from the neighbouring rolling-period figures.

Methodology and sources

Every figure on this page comes from the organisation that produced it: regulators, statistics offices, public bodies, research institutes, and companies reporting their own data or surveys. Each one links to the original report or dataset and carries its release date. Survey results keep their population and fieldwork period, and financial figures keep the measure the producer used. Figures from different producers are not added together or ranked against each other. The page is reviewed monthly and updated when a producer releases newer data.
