For Arkansas sports fans in 2026, the game can start long before kickoff — with research, a gut feeling and a bet placed from a phone.
Sports betting has given Arkansans a way to turn their emotional investment in their team into a financial one, and at Saracen Casino, Chief Marketing Officer Carlton Saffa says few teams draw more action than the Razorbacks.
“When Arkansas is playing, it’s Arkansas. But we also have quite a bit of interest in in-game wagering. You can place a bet at the end of the game. You know, with five minutes left in the fourth quarter, with two minutes left in the fourth quarter. We see a little bit of everything,” Saffa said.
