Delaware made history in June of 2018 when Governor John Carney placed the first sports bet outside of Las Vegas in the country. Since then, three retail sportsbooks have opened in the state at Delaware Park Casino, Dover Downs, and Harrington Raceway. However, online sports betting has not yet launched in the state.
For beginners looking to get into sports betting, there are tips available to help make smarter decisions when placing bets. A sports betting glossary is also provided to explain the terminology and language used in sports betting. Additionally, there are common mistakes to avoid to ensure a more enjoyable sports betting experience.
In Delaware, there are no professional sports teams, and betting on in-state college programs, such as the Delaware Fightin’ Blue Hens and Delaware State Hornets, is not allowed. However, those looking to bet on college sports in other legal states can consider the Blue Hens football and basketball teams, which have a history of success in the FCS and Colonial Athletic Association. The Hornets, on the other hand, have not lived up to expectations in their respective conferences.
Overall, Delaware’s sports betting landscape continues to evolve, offering opportunities for both seasoned bettors and beginners looking to get started in the world of sports wagering.
