The Yankees and Mets are currently the toast of New York. So, why haven’t betting handles increased in lockstep?
It’s common sense, but it’s worth stating: At sportsbooks, dollars wagered indicate interest, which in turn, forces the books to focus resources and marketing strategies on said teams and games.
To be sure, for this upcoming two-game set between two of baseball’s top teams, sportsbooks like PointsBet, FanDuel and DraftKings are still running promotions.
But that’s more due to the dearth in the rest of the sports calendar than it is due to increased fervor among bettors in the Tri-State Area.
