While football remains king in the world of gambling, political bettors are showing up in droves to bet on the midterms.
In 2024, BetOnline.ag reported that more money was wagered on the Presidential Election than the Super Bowl that year.
This weekend, BetOnline said it took more bets on the Talarico-Paxton race than any NFL team to win its game this weekend.
And of the 115 college football games played this week, only 20 of them took more money than what the Talarico-Paxton matchup has seen.
When adding up the amount of money wagered on the hundreds of midterms markets at BetOnline, the current total is larger than what was bet on Sunday Night Football last night.
There is still time to get those bets in as Election Day fast approaches.
