There is plenty to dislike about February’s betting numbers. Action is dropping, [bettors](https://bloggenmeister.com/traffic-steigerung-wie-du-mehr-besucher-auf-deinen-blog-bringst/) are winning more, and regulators are Maine’s only retail option.
+
However, this may turn out to be a blip, with the upcoming NCAA tournaments and Oddfellahs’ betting, the state's in-person retail sportsbook, open for a full month.
+
The [Maine Gambling](http://test54.utohouse.co.kr/bbs/board.php?bo_table=free&wr_id=21740) [Control](http://grupogramo.com/post-formats/post-with-gallery-format/) Unit (MGCU) announced that the Pine Tree State's [legal sportsbooks](https://gratisafhalen.be/author/maricela453/) last month saw $41.4 million in wagers, a 17% drop from January’s $50 million.
+
But unlike January, when their drop in action did not mean a decline in revenue, this was not the case for February. Both handle and adjusted gross [receipts](https://viddertube.com/@quyencape98221?page=about) were lower than the previous month.
+
On the revenue side, things were even worse. All three operators combined for $5.3 million which was a 23% [monthly decrease](http://aoiffekerrigan.com/biopic-theme-launched/).
+
However, thanks to the lack of competition, or some good lines, the operators' hold came in at an industry friendly 13%, even though its slightly lower than January.
+
Oddfellahs under the microscope
+
Oddfellahs, the state’s lone retail betting location, which is partnered with Caesars, hurt the most. But this did come after the state temporarily closed their betting operations.
+
The owner of the Oddfellahs Sports Bar applied for a track [betting](https://greek-leather-sandals.com/el/blog/season-essentials) license, taking [advantage](https://autozed-h.com/duane488448885) of a vague part of Maine’s law that does not [explicitly](https://www.adpost4u.com/user/profile/4363843) force a licensee to operate in the [location](https://git.genowisdom.cn/jakekime228580) of the application. [Meaning](https://denvertherapymatch.com/bbs/board.php?bo_table=Big_Thime_Gaming&wr_id=9) the owner used his horse racing [business](https://fukuiyodoko.jp/2019/04/03/hpopen/) in one town in order to bring sports betting to another.
+
While the state figures out what to do, Oddfellahs’ handle decreased by 50% and they paid out more than they took in.
+
DraftKings top dog
+
As you can see, DraftKings is the number one option for Maine bettors. The sportsbook took in 85% of the entire betting market, which is slightly lower than the 86% the previous month.
+
That means that Caesars, their only competitor, saw a small boost in their market share.
+
But with football season ending, [handle fell](https://raciohouse.sk/uncategorized/pasivny-dom-na-prvy-pohlad/?lang=en) to a five-month low. However, with march madness coming, things are expected to pick up before the summer doldrums bring sports betting down significantly.
