As sports betting outlets pop up around the country, people in Kansas may wonder when they can start to wager with legal sports betting. The answer is yes! As of Sept. 1, 2022, Kansas residents are legally able to wager on sports.

1) Is Kansas Sports Betting Legal?

Yes, Kansas legalized sports betting in 2022, and it went live in September. At the time it was one of the fastest betting launches of any state in the country, and now the state has a handful of online and in-person sports betting sources -- nine online operators and two casinos. Kansas law allows for 12 online sportsbooks to get licenses, so more may follow.

4) What are the Most Popular Teams to Bet on in KS?

Though no franchises in the four major professional sports that call Kansas home, it doesn't mean there isn't a population that is as crazed about sports as states that have multiple pro teams. Let the “Rock chalk, Jayhawk” chant at one of the University of Kansas basketball games be all you need to know about the intensity that lives in Kansas sports fans.

The NFL is the most bet-upon sports league in the U.S., and most Kansas natives support the like-named Kansas City Chiefs. Even before their Super Bowl runs in 2020 and 2022, all Chiefs games were televised throughout the entire state. Many Kansans on the western side of the state support the Denver Broncos, and, as always, the Dallas Cowboys are also a popular pick.

Basketball seems to be one of the most popular sports to bet on for the Midwest. Since there is no Kansas team, the majority of people lean toward the Oklahoma City Thunder.

5) What are the Most Common Types of Bets I Can Make in Kansas?

Straight bet

The most common type of bet is a straight bet, where you bet on a single game. The oddsmakers set a point spread with one team being favored by a certain number of points. Here is an example:

Boston Celtics -6.5 (-110), moneyline -320

at Cleveland Cavaliers +6.5 (-110), moneyline +260

O/U 206

In this example, the Celtics are favored by 6.5 points. If you bet on the Cavaliers, you get 6.5 points, so if the Cavaliers win the game or lose by less than seven points, you win the bet due to your 6.5-point cushion. On the other hand, if you are laying 6.5 points as the favorite, you need the Celtics to win by seven or more to win the bet.

For example, if the final score is Celtics 102, Cavaliers 98, the Cavaliers would still cover the spread, even though the Celtics won the game, because the +6.5 point spread is enough to cover a four-point defeat.

Moneyline bet

In a moneyline bet, there is no point spread. You simply pick the winner of the game. In the example above, the Cavaliers' moneyline is +260, which means that for every $100 wagered, you win $260 if the Cavaliers win the game outright. The plus side of the moneyline goes to the underdog, and picking them rewards you with nice odds since they are projected to likely lose the game.

On the other hand, if you bet on the Celtics' moneyline at -320, you have to bet $320 to win $100. They are the favorites, so if you decide to bet the moneyline instead of the point spread, you are forced to bet additional money to win $100. The winner of a moneyline bet is simply the team that wins the game outright, and the point spread is irrelevant.

Over/Under

An over/under bet is a straight bet on the total number of points that will be scored in a game by both teams. For example, an NBA game may have an over/under of 210 points, meaning that the oddsmakers project a combined points total of 210 between the two teams. If you think the teams will score more than 210 points, you bet the over, and if you think it will be a defensive struggle, you can bet the under, hoping that the total points scored equals 209 points or less.

Parlay

A parlay bet combines multiple bets into one, and you get increased odds because you only win your parlay wager if all of your bets win. For example, in a three-team parlay, you select three different teams from three different games, and if you win all three bets, you hit your parlay for longshot odds (6-1 so $100 to win $600). If you go 0/3, 1/3, or 2/3, you lose the parlay bet. It is all or nothing, which makes them tough to hit, and they are more of a home run type bet than a regular straight bet since there is a chance for a big payoff.
