This is the third week that WV sportsbooks have confessed that number of wagers. Overall, the week of Oct. 5 marks the fifth consecutive week sportsbooks have obtained more than $6 million in stakes.
Although this week rose upon the last week, the $6.6 million in wagers is just the 2nd largest in WV.
More striking than the deal is. Sportsbooks gained more than $1.2 million in earnings, and the second-highest the nation has ever seen.

The following will be the key takeaways from the Oct. 5 characters:
It seems like the betting handle may have hit a plateau, although sportsbooks in the state are doing better than they have at any point. There is nothing terrible about accepting more than $6 million but that amount has not increased too lately.

In terms of revenue, its clear the WVU games have a strong influence on the numbers. For the week of Sept. 21, the Mountaineers coated in their win against Kansas. Sportsbooks only made around $550,000.
