$1.5 Billion Wagered Legally in US in 2007

Very interesting stats posted on Bloodhorse today. $1.5+ billion legally wagered in the states in 2007. I guess the fact it doesn't even take into account the evil offshores and these numbers blow my mind even more.

That $1.5B is account wagering through Oregon hub, which is about 10% of the total U.S. handle, I think. What should blow your mind is that this total $15B number hasn't grown in several years. The industry is stagnant and no one is doing anything successfully to stimulate it.
