Sports that bettors are most likely wager on in the U.S. 2019

Published by Statista Research Department, Nov 17, 2020
The federal ban on sports betting was lifted by the Supreme Court of the United States in May 2018. Since that judgment, many states have legalized sports betting. However, some sports are more popular to bet on than others. When surveyed in April 2019, a year after the reversal of the federal ban, 61 percent of respondents that identified themselves as sports fans stated that they would bet on the National Football League (NFL) - making it the top of the list of the sports and leagues that fans would place a bet on.
