From the New York Post:

Indeed, it only took 11 months for New Jersey to overtake Nevada’s sportsbook wagers on a monthly basis when it booked $318.9 million worth of sports bets in May, versus $318.3 million for Nevada. NJ did it again in July, with NJ sports bets that month coming in at $251 million, versus $235 million for Nevada.

New Jersey has more than doubled the number of sports wagering sites it had last year at this time when Nevada reported $2.7 billion in handle from September through January compared to New Jersey pulling in $1.5 billion.

Online sports betting already accounts for 80 percent of total wagers in New Jersey.

In just over a year, more than a dozen states have legalized sports betting after the US Supreme Court threw out decades of prohibition.

New Jersey’s 9 million population, not including 8.5 million nearby New York City residents, compares to just 2.5 million in Nevada , The Post does point out.
