I need some help getting an idea of all 4 major sports based on the betting numbers. 

What sports bring on more money on wagering?

I assume NHL isnt as big as NBA. 

In what order does is line up from 1st to 4th? Can I find these numbers anywhere?

There are only numbers available for legal bets in Nevada.  Nevada is not hockey country (that would be Detroit to Boston + Canada).

2016 total amounts bet  
Football 1,692,820,000
Basketball 1,402,779,000
Baseball 1,045,584,000
Parlay 60,255,000
Other 307,216,000

There are a lot fewer football games than other sports...especially basketball with 82 NBA games per team and 350+ college teams playing 30 games.

Google "nevada sports betting handle 2016" and the first result should be a PDF from UNLV.
