I can't do it right now, but when I get home, I'm going to do a little research on NFL merchandising, something that has very little to do with gambling. But before I even do it, I'm leaning towards the thought that the money spent on NFL merchandise will out strip money bet on numerous different sports. I'm thinking that football fans, who disappear in flocks if not for betting, would rather spend their money on "crap" rather than put a bet on something even as popular as a golf tournament or a NASCAR race, or even something as close to a coin flip as an NHL game. That's my preliminary prediction. I'll see if I'm right.
