As college football and the NFL is in full swing some surrounding states like Arkansas are getting their bets in for this weekends’ games.
“It is entertainment, in my opinion. It’s not a way to make a living. It makes the event a little more interesting when you have skin in the game,” State Senator Bill Coleman said.
He proposed sports betting last year and plans to do it again when the session resumes after the holidays.
