College football betting will be back before we know it, which means futures for the 2022-23 season are very much hot in the streets! Take a shot on new LSU transfer QB Jayden Daniels to lead the Tigers back to the promised land, currently available at 50-1!.With both retail and mobile sports betting currently live, the time to start thinking about your first sports wager is now! So, how will you decide on what your first legal sports bet will be? Here’s a couple of things to consider: Retail betting officially began in the state in October 2021 and was joined by mobile on January 28, 2022. No other state has done it this way, but it is not surprising that Louisiana was the first because no other state is quite like Louisiana. Residents there who want to legally bet on sports will have to drive to a neighboring parish to place their bets. The nine parishes that declined will be geofenced to prevent bets from taking place. Once the sports betting dust settled, 55 of the 64 parishes approved sports betting, both in-person and online.

There doesn’t appear to be any legal differences between a parish and a county, but the distinction without a difference is just another Louisiana quirk. There are 64 parishes in the state that each have a say on sports betting. Louisiana also has parishes instead of counties. Interestingly, Louisiana has a civil law system of state government, while the other 49 states have a common law system. In Louisiana the French, Creole, and Cajun influence is evident in everything from its amazing food to its Napoleonic system of government, making it one of the most unique states in the country. Every other state that has voted on legalizing sports betting has done so via a state-wide referendum, not broken down by county. Voters in each parish (think counties) could decide whether to bring sports betting to their specific communities. In November 2020, a referendum was passed by Louisiana voters that legalized sports betting in the state. The state has always been a little different so it’s not a surprise that their treatment of sports betting is too.
