Ohio sports betting

Sports betting was legalized in Ohio in late 2021 with plans for the approved sportsbooks to launch on Jan. 1, 2023. There will be a total of 50 books operating in the Buckeye State with 25 Type A licenses allotted.

With the full legalization and the slated roll-out date, Ohio joins Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania and other neighboring states with legalized online gambling.

Bettors can expect to see a few big-name sportsbooks on launch day, with a gradual increase as legalization gets underway. BetMGM already owns a local retail casino so they will be able to make the transition quickly.

BetMGM was one of the first books to apply and get license approval, submitting their “mobile management services provider application” on June 20, 2022.

Rose Bowl: Penn State vs. Utah

These two teams are very evenly matched. The Utes are 2.5-point favorites with the O/U at 52.5.

Utah’s schedule was far tougher than Penn State’s and the Utes won twice against USC. Their offense has been impressive all season as they’ve averaged 40 points and over 472 yards per game.

Penn State’s defense has been okay as they’ve held opponents to fewer than 20 points a game. Their defensive backs, however, are vulnerable to big plays on the sidelines.

Utah’s Cameron Rising hasn’t played quite as well as initially expected this season, but he’s still put up good numbers with 25 touchdowns and seven interceptions on the year.

The total is too high an over/under bet, but the narrow spread is a good opportunity for a play. Overall, back the Utes on the moneyline and look for them to cover the close spread with Rising putting up big numbers.
