For the past six years, the amount of states legalizing sports betting has rapidly increased. 38 states have allowed for some sort of betting on sports; 30 of these states allow for online bets as well. With March Madness being one of the biggest events for this kind of sport betting, there are tips and tricks when betting for who is going to win the big championship. Some states only allow for bets on teams and not individual players. This is because many suspect that individualized betting can lead to harassment of the players, online and in person, as well as affecting the players mental wellbeing.

In Kansas, online betting is legalized, as well as retail sports betting. A person has to be over 21, just like traditional gambling, and the most common apps for online and mobile betting are FanDuel, DraftKings, and Barstool. When betting this year, remember to be careful with the money bet, because it is still gambling and can become addictive and an issue in the future.

About the Contributor
Hannah Mueller
Hannah Mueller, Copy Editor
Hi, my name is Hannah Mueller and this is my second year in SPUB and I am one of our copy editors this year. I am so excited to be more creative with my stories and designing this year, as well as be a voice for our student body. Journalism matters to me because everyone's voice needs a chance to be heard and many topics are important but aren't talked about. Other than journalism, I am involved with theater and volleyball. I also enjoy reading and hanging out with my friends. I am beyond excited to see what is to come for this year.
