SPORTS WAGERING CONTRIBUTIONS SET RECORD HIGH

Sports betting contributed more than five-point-eight-million dollars to the state in October, which is the best single-month to date.  Each of the state’s 13 retail and 12 mobile sportsbooks contribute 15-percent of their taxable winnings to the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future Fund for public education.  More than 483-million dollars in wagers were made last month.  That’s the second-best single-month total, trailing only December of last year, which brought in more than 497-million dollars in bets.
