2022 World Cup betting: Why U.S bookmakers are tempering expectations

The 2018 World Cup is taking place in Qatar. FIFA says $155 billion was bet globally on the 2018 tournament. The United States did not qualify for the tournament, so bookmakers are expecting modest betting. However, the USA-England match scheduled for November 25, day after Thanksgiving, could attract significant wagering. The U.S. has attracted twice as many bets to win the World cup as any other team at FanDuel. It's possible that more than 30 states could have legal betting markets when this year's tournament begins.
