Top Sportsbooks:
Where to Watch & Wager
Football season is almost here, and we can’t wait to visit our favorite sportsbooks and place some wagers on our favorite teams. It wasn’t long ago that Las Vegas was the only place to legally place a sports bet. But today, most states have passed some sort of sports betting and legislation continues to expand for what will hopefully be a universal offering for sports bettors around the country.
With the expanded presence of one of our favorite pastimes, also comes more options and more competition for where to watch and wager. We are excited to highlight a few of our favorite sportsbooks to check out for your next gambling getaway or just an afternoon of awesome college of NFL football.
