Why Coloradans Have Fallen for Sports Betting
As with the whole of the United States, the sports betting landscape has changed a great deal over the past two years in Colorado. The Supreme Court ruling in 2018 allowed each individual state in the US to legalize and offer sports betting should they wish to so and Colorado have acted.
Colorado was by no means the first state to offer legal sports betting, with the likes of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware leading the way. However, state regulators made legal Colorado sports betting available on the 1st of May 2020 and there is now a good variety of legal sportsbook sites and apps dedicated to the people of Colorado. Considering the short amount of time sports betting has been legal in the state, there are plenty of high quality sportsbooks available and it is easy to see why Coloradans have fallen for sports betting.
A good example is PointsBet Colorado and this sportsbook officially launched on the 18th of November 2020. You will find a huge selection of sports betting market when using the PointsBet Colorado app, including Moneylines, Point Spreads, Parlays, Totals, Pick your total, Pick your spread, Futures, and Props. It is possible to bet on the top professional and college football, basketball, hockey, and baseball leagues plus soccer, golf, tennis, NASCAR, Formula 1, boxing, MMA, cycling, cricket, rugby, and darts to name but a few.
In addition to the sports and markets highlighted above, one of the major draws of using the PointsBet Colorado, is the PointsBetting feature. Using PointsBetting, it is possible to win or lose more money based on how far off your prediction was from the final totals or spread. This is very much a risk/reward scenario and although it puts you in a position to win more money than a standard bet, you also face the possibility of losing more money than your original stake, so keep that in mind.
With such a great range of features when using the PointsBet app, it is easy to see why Coloradans have fallen for sports betting.
The fun does not stop there and in addition to PointsBet, Coloradans have a great selection of online sportsbooks from which to choose, including DraftKings. This online company has been in business for many years and offered fantasy sports betting prior to their sportsbook. Therefore, DraftKings have plenty of experience when it comes to offering online sports related gambling and their sportsbook has been a great addition for Coloradans.
William Hill is one of the biggest names in the world when it comes to sports betting. They have long been one of the largest sportsbook operators in the United Kingdom and have several land based sportsbooks across the United States. This is a brand you can trust and in addition to the online mobile app, Colorado residents will find a land-based William Hill sportsbook at Lady Luck Casino.
With BetMGM Sports, SportsBetting, and FanDuel also offering quality sportsbooks, it comes as no surprise to find Coloradans have fallen for sports betting.
