Long Shot’s restaurant and bar in Frederick began offering in-person sports betting on Friday through the Betfred Sportsbook, making it the state’s ninth retail sportsbook and first in Western Maryland.

Long Shot’s opened a temporary in-person sportsbook on Friday. The restaurant is expected to unveil a permanent, larger in-person sportsbook in early 2023, owner Alyse Cohen has said.

“Our state-of-the-art permanent facility opening in early 2023 will be the first and only 100% woman-owned sportsbook in Maryland. It will also be the only sportsbook in the entire region,” Cohen said in a news release Friday.
