Why did this happen? What sparked it?

economy better more people spending money

**The General** · 12-31-19, 12:26 AM

Mr Trump's economic strategy definitely a part, but i think there is more.

**pimike** · 12-31-19, 01:06 AM

More acceptable by the public.

No idea really

**Otters27** · 12-31-19, 01:28 AM

More acceptable to do it now that it's legal everywhere. Talked about on TV and stuff

**rm18** · 12-31-19, 01:31 AM

Maybe some scalps against other states.

Account betting has to be a huge part of it

um no

there is ONE EXPLANATION FOR IT... population growth and new construction

population of las vegas is up 10% in the past few years, in addition to the short-term additional residents involved in new raiders stadium and other developments

more people with more money = more bets

**cincinnatikid513** · 12-31-19, 08:03 AM

las vegas was tired of being 2nd fiddle

**BeatTheJerk** · 12-31-19, 09:48 AM

It was Emily_Hanes 60 Million in action that sparked this jump. That guys a fukkin’ whale ....

**Sam Odom** · 12-31-19, 10:03 AM

Sam Odom visited Vegas more this year

**newton0038** · 12-31-19, 10:14 AM

Gotta wonder how much of that is credit based. Cc companies handin out 25k limits to anybody. Did it to me in Canada now and this country's consumer debt is about to bite everyone in the ass. less than 25% have $1000 in an emergency fund. Canada allows payday loan industry to fuk us at 489% APR based on 2 week payback and long term debt @ 60% APR. Not a city in Canada without at least 5 shops, u maxout at 1 go to the next. it perpetuates till there is nothing left. i think I currently have 4 that i haven't paid a dime on in 6 weeks. i just block their 200 different numbers they call from and go in and pay when I want to. Every dollar in my pocket costs me about $6. Hence my desire for a bullet.

Growth. Natural and expected growth.

Expect plenty more growth going forward.

everything is boom and bust

look at the 80,000 seat nascar stadiums that sit empty

stuff grows until it crashes, way too much of a bubble in everything right now, artificially created by low interest rates, money creation out of thin air, and unsustainable federal budget deficits/neverending wars of agression

**hankcream** · 01-03-20, 09:44 AM

Competition has forced the Vegas books to step up their games.

**hubie69** · 01-03-20, 10:16 AM

With it becoming more and more legal the stigma attached to sportsbetting no longer permeates the country.

Gamblers gonna gamble in a good economy.
