The Philadelphia Eagles to win the Super Bowl, Boston Celtics to win the NBA Finals, Boston Bruins to win the Stanley Cup, and the Kansas City Chiefs to win the Super Bowl.
Those were some of the first legal in-person bets placed on sporting events inside Massachusetts casinos Tuesday morning as the state’s brand new sports wagering industry took its initial baby steps.
The launch of sports betting has been hailed by supporters as a way to bring an illegal betting industry into the legal market and offer a new, modest source of revenue for the state. It is now a sprint to get ready for the large crowds casino officials said they expect for the Feb. 12 Super Bowl, when each sports betting lounge will be put to the test.
