This is where you can bet on a team to win using a point spread. So, how do you do sports betting? Full-scale sports betting is relatively complex (a full tutorial can be found here), and is allowed only at Delaware’s casinos - Delaware Park, Dover Downs Hotel and Casino, and Harrington Raceway & Casino. That may mean a significant drop in earnings - or it may not, as people get more comfortable with legal sports betting. This year, people in the Mid-Atlantic have more options than just Delaware and New Jersey (the third state to legalize sports betting), with Pennsylvania and New York now offering legal sports wagering. Last year’s earnings were higher than expected, at almost $159 million, with college and pro football accounting for more than half of that, according to Delaware State News.
Delaware has the distinction of being just the second state after Nevada to legalize sports betting, now in its second year in the First State.
