As sports betting is scheduled to start in Ohio on Jan. 1, new polling shows a majority of Ohioans do not plan to bet on any sports.
According to our new polling through NBC4, Emerson College and The Hill, 84% percent of Ohioans do not plan to betting on sports.
“I don’t participate, and I don’t agree with it,” voter Pat Ross said, “I have enough vices already,” voter Paul Vanwagenen said. “I’ll pass on gambling, thank you.”
Eight percent of Ohioans who do plan on wagering on sports say they’ll use a combination of online and in-person betting. Voters like Corey Lancaster said, as long as it’s profitable for Ohio, he is on board.
