It did unveil its report, Even though the figures have not been published by the West Virginia Lottery yet. While the entire handle did not rise from last week, this didnt have another solid operation with over $6.5 million in stakes.
The absence of a WVU game may be the reason for the lag in WV sports betting growth. It will be interesting to realize how far the WVU vs. Texas game impacted publications when that becomes available weekly.

Though WVU and coach Neal Brown were large underdogs entering its matchup with Texas, it wasnt shown by the team. WVU scored with ease by Austin Kendall on a 44-yard touchdown pass into Sam James.
The starting score had the home supporters at Milan Puskar Stadium in a frenzy.
Even more improved from the Longhorns about the next possession. After a 16-play drive, then the Mountaineers defense held strong and forced Texas into a attempt.
After Cameron Dicker missed the 42-yarder, it appeared that WVU could have a real opportunity to really pull off the upset. Then it all disappeared so fast.
On the next play, Kendall threw a bad interception on a ball he pressured into zone policy. Two plays later, Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger threw his first touchdown pass of the day to tie the score at seven.
Texas held a lead in the half Though the Mountaineers could score the next touchdown in the game.
Despite maintaining things the Mountaineers committed mistakes to have a success on Saturday. Three second-half interceptions threw, gifting Texas scores.
Trainer Brown shed another light, although Naturally, bettors and fans can be frustrated with all the move quarterbacks performance. According to WV MetroNews, Brown stated:
Quarterbacks get too much credit when things go well and too much blame when things dont go well. We had been in the match offensively due to Austin Kendall. Im not down on that child one bit.
Kendall did throw three touchdowns and 367 passing yards too, while he was careless with all the turnovers. It had been up to Kendall to attempt to make some plays Together with the team rushing for over 100 yards .
Texas went on to win by 11, using a loss and Mountaineer fans betting on WVU football back to the drawing board, delivering the Mountaineers home.
The defeat drops WVUs record to 3-2 overall (1-1 in conference) because it prepares to host the Iowa State Cyclones this past week. It will be another competition for the Mountaineers, as sportsbooks have them listed as underdogs.
Iowa State will travel using an identical, however deceiving record to Morgantown. It dropped to undefeated Baylor on the road and Iowa by a single by two. Most teams in the nation would have problems taking Iowa in the present time down Although ISU is only 3-2.
The Cyclones beat ease, 49-24 against TCU. The group was led by quarterback Brock Purdy in the passing and rushing yards in the blowout victory. Hed 247 yards through the air, yet another 102 on the floor to go with four total touchdowns daily.
For the season, the sophomore includes over 1,500 passing yards and 10 touchdowns against just two interceptions. He also leads in racing, including 203 yards and 5 touchdowns, also Iowa State.
Similar to Texas and also Ehlinger, the key for WVU is to try to include Purdy.
Purdys favorite target downfield is grownup Deshaunte Jones. Hes 17 receptions than anyone else on the group. His 37 grabs are good for 13th best in college football this year.
On the opposing side of the ball, the Mountaineers offensive line will need to attempt to slow linebacker ORien Vance. He has 34 total tackles on the season to go along with 6.5 sacks.
This will be a hard match for WVU, Even though Iowa State likely isnt as fantastic as Texas. After all the excitement and expectancy spent last weeks harsh loss, it will be curious to observe the Mountaineers have left in the tank for this one.
It even steal a triumph and possibly can readily cover When WVU comes to perform. But when it comes out level, points will be scored all day by the Cyclones. Hopefully trainer Brown will get his squad ready to compete.
