NEWSBye, Las Vegas! Why Online Sports Gambling From Home Is The Way To Go
Once upon a time, if you wanted to make a wager on sports, you’d have to go to Las Vegas to do it, but new figures show that more and more Americans are ditching their ritualistic annual weekend away in Vegas in favor of staying at home to cash in on the online sports gambling boom.
Last week, the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement announced that the state had received a combined $803 million in sports gambling revenue, with 92% of that solely dedicated to making wagers online from home using a desktop tablet or computer. In comparison, Nevada, once the Mecca for gamblers worldwide, could only muster $575 million in total revenue.
So, what is online sports gambling? And why are so many Americans turning towards placing bets at home instead of weekends away in expensive hotel rooms that leave them feeling nothing but a bad hangover and regret? Online sports analytics site Dimers.com has the answers.

Online sports gambling allows you to turn your sports knowledge into cash:
Sports gambling allows players (otherwise known as ‘bettors’) to put their money where their mouth is and put down their cash to wager on the outcome of sports such as Football, Basketball, Baseball and Hockey. Bets placed may range from who you think will win the match (known as a ‘Moneyline’ bet), to who you think will win the game with a starting handicap (known as a ‘Spread’ bet), or anything else you can think of — like which player you think will score a touchdown.
