And most of that came from two weekends that sandwiched a dead period for major professional sports caused by baseball's All-Star break Adidas Nolan Patrick Jersey , when there was little to bet on, with basketball and soccer World Cup over, and football and hockey months away from beginning their seasons.
Meadowlands operator Jeff Gural told The Associated Press it accepted just under $3.5 million worth of sports bets since it began taking them on July 14.
"We did OK," Gural said Monday. "Our goal the first weekend was to exceed $1million which we did. The next four days were quiet with nothing to bet on due to the All-Star break."
This past Saturday, with baseball having resumed Vikings Game Jerseys , the track took in over $650,000, and additional bets on baseball and other sports came in on Sunday.
Gural said he is pleased with the track's initial performance "despite the fact that we are not at full strength and only have 10 live tellers windows open."
The FanDuel Sportsbook at the Meadowlands will be expanded. It is located in East Rutherford, in the same sports complex six miles from New York City where the NFL's New York Giants and Jets play.
So far, two tracks Authentic Billy Price Jersey , the Meadowlands and Monmouth Park, and two Atlantic City casinos, the Borgata and Ocean Resort, offer sports betting in New Jersey. But many others have applied for permission to begin offering sports betting, in person and online Connor Williams Jersey Elite , before the start of the NFL season in September.
Monmouth and the casinos reaped $16.4 million in the first two weeks of June.
New Jersey won a U.S. Supreme Court case on May 14 clearing the way for all 50 states to offer legal sports betting should they so desire. It began offering sports betting on June 14.
The latest statistics on how much the casinos and tracks took in from sports betting will be released by the state Division of Gaming Enforcement on Aug. 14.
Follow Wayne Parry at ://WayneParryAC The New York Giants probably aren't going to stray far from their board in the final day of the NFL draft.They still need a receiver, a cornerback and possibly an inside linebacker. General manager Dave Gettleman is not going to force the issue just to select a player at one of those positions.
Gettleman says it's about the value of the pick, not numbers.
New York will have only two picks in the final four rounds, the eighth choice in the fourth round and the second in the fifth. New York filled most of its major needs during the first three rounds.
The Giants started the draft by taking Penn State running back Saquon Barkley with the second pick overall. They grabbed UTEP guard Will Hernandez with the second pick of the second round and added edge rusher Lorenzo Carter of Georgia and defensive tackle B.J. Hill of North Carolina State in the third round.
New York waived veteran receiver Brandon Marshall last week after he failed his physical. With teams passing so much, getting another cornerback never hurts. It also would be good with Eli Apple coming off a disappointing season and fellow cornerback Janoris Jenkins returning from ankle surgery.
