Football Bets to Top $90 Billion For Second Straight Season – $88 Billion Illegally
Washington, DCÂ â?? Ahead of the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers kicking off the 2016 NFL season, the American Gaming Association (AGA) is estimating that fans across the country will bet $90 billion on NFL and college football games this season. However, $88 billion â?? or 98 percent â?? of all bets will be made illegally thanks to a federal government ban.
Illegal betting reached $4.1 billion on Super Bowl 50 earlier this year. In 2015, fans bet at least $150 billion on all sports. In a sign of how serious the problem of illegal gambling has become, more than 30 law enforcement leaders from across the country gathered in June for the first-ever Law Enforcement Summit in Washington, D.C. to better understand the massive illegal sports betting market in the U.S and what steps can be taken to address it.

A Day in the Life of a Casino Bartender
A good bartender is a lot of things to different people- a joke teller, a shrink, an adviser, a best friend, and of course, a dispenser of adult beverages. Of course, in the case of a casino bartender, there are usually a few additional roles they’re required to play. Recently, I spent some time chatting with Lamista Hackworth, a bartender at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Tampa, Florida. Over the course a few delicious mimosas, and a few (dozen) hands of video poker, I asked Lamista to share her insights into what it’s like being a casino bartender.
