is bet illegally on sports in the us a year
from espns ombudsman
In 2009, according to the American Gaming Association, $2.6 billion was legally wagered on sports in Nevada. It's estimated that $380 billion per year is illegally bet in this country -- with more than $1 billion wagered on the Super Bowl alone. In 2006, Congress passed a law making it illegal for offshore websites to collect money from gamblers in the United States. But that only eliminated the faint of heart. While the number of foreign sites dropped by roughly 50 percent, the overall handle diminished only minimally.
