After years of traveling hours outside of the city and crossing bridges just to get in on the action, New York sports betting finally launched on Saturday — and it could not have happened at a better time.
While the NFL regular season wrapped up, whetting the appetite of sports bettors everywhere, college football’s gargantuan clash between Alabama and Georgia provides a prolific matchup that will have even more eyes on it here in the Big Apple now that fans can bet on almost every aspect of the game from the comfort of their own home.
It somehow gets even better over the next month as the NFL postseason begins, leading to Super Bowl LVI on Feb. 13, while the NHL and NBA regular seasons begin to heat up and inch toward the playoff push.
