How does the NFL make money off gambling?

578 viewsOther

Aside from the obvious advertising revenue, how does the NFL – and other sports leagues, for that matter- make money from the actual gambling? Isn’t the transaction simply between the bettor and the sports book? Do the leagues get a cut of the gambling?

A lot of these answers are actually incorrect.

The professional leagues have deals with the sports books to delay the live broadcasts/data to the public by 1-2 seconds.

This gives books the chance to adjust their odds and make sure no edge is made at home.

Essentially the pro leagues make money off of sending the DATA of the game to the books AS QUICK as possible
