Public, give yourself a hand: you cut into Nevada sports betting revenue in October just as you did elsewhere.
A strong month for football bettors slashed gridiron win by about $18 million last month. That led to Nevada’s overall hold coming down by nearly half, from a state-record $56 million to $29 million. Handle fell slightly from September, down from a best-ever $571 million to $528 million.
Books will not complain about more than a half-billion dollars in handle, of course. Even though handle dropped a bit from last month, the drop scores as the second-best October on record for Nevada.
