Michigan Man Places $20,000 bet; Wins $400,000
Sports betting in Michigan became legal when a gambling bill was signed into law on December 20, 2019. Legal sports betting in Michigan commenced on March 11, 2020. Since then, Michigan's handle has been $3,582,039,265.00. If you're bad at math, that means Michiganders have wagered nearly 4 B-B-Billion dollars!
One Michigan man made a large bet and came out richer on the other side.
Can you imagine him shouting at his TV for a field goal? I would be!
Michigan recently became the fifth state to record a monthly handle of more than $500 million in November 2021 for sports betting.
Michigan’s online sports betting launch in January 2021 remains the single largest debut for sports betting in US history. Ten online sportsbooks opened their doors on the first day of service.
