Let's wrap up here with really some surprising news because generally speaking, the world
00:07
of sports betting is growing and growing, but a quarter actually down in one state and
00:12
it just happens to be New Jersey and, you know, tell us more about this because naturally
00:17
with football starting back up, it's a little surprising.
00:19
Was this 2023 or 2024?
00:22
Yeah, that's a really good distinction, Craig.
00:25
Was it 2023 or 2024?
00:27
We saw New Jersey, which is one of the biggest sports betting markets in the country.
00:32
It was the biggest before New York launched.
00:34
Their total betting volume dropped 16% year over year in September, which like you alluded
00:40
to is a huge month for sports books, especially with football and with all the promos that
00:45
sports books dump in at the start of football season as well.
00:49
So in months like October, November, betting is still very strong, but you're not having
00:53
as many of those new signup offers kind of inflate the volume.
00:56
But I think this is mainly due to the fact in 2023, you had $1.3 billion bet in New Jersey
01:03
in the month, which was, I think their highest month of all time, as far as I know.
01:09
So you've seen a 16% decline this year down to $1.1 billion.
01:13
It's obviously it's a lot of money, but it's still over a billion dollars.
01:19
So I think you explain it with just seeing that last year, betting was up so much there
01:23
was such a pent up demand.
01:25
It's like a second consecutive month of annual betting declines in New Jersey, actually,
01:29
though, which is following what's been growth pretty much every month over the year.
01:34
So I would say not something to be alarmed over if you're an operator in New Jersey,
01:38
but something you definitely want to keep your eye on, though they're still on track
01:42
for a record year.
01:43
So we'll see in November, we'll see in October as those numbers come in, and obviously into
01:47
December, how those numbers shape up when it comes to the NFL and college football as
01:52
well.
01:53
Obviously, those are the biggest months of the year for sports books.
01:56
And like you said, it only we only see more and more record revenue.
01:59
So it's definitely surprising to see the slight dip in September, but versus last year, you
02:04
know, the kind of anomaly, the total betting volume much larger than you would expect.
