What better way to celebrate the launch of legal mobile sports betting in the state of New York than by betting on the local team's games?
Whether you hate the Knicks or love the Nets, can't stand what the Giants are doing or think the Jets are on the right path, plenty of New York teams are in action this weekend. That makes for a great launch for New York, the latest state to legalize mobile sports betting in the country.
Mobile sports betting goes live in New York on Saturday morning at 9 a.m. local time. Bettors don't have to wait long to find a way to get in on the action.
