Kentucky sports betting will have several interesting day one options for new customers, including odds on local teams. September 28 will mark the first game of Week 4 in the 2023 NFL season, which will feature the Lions and Packers on Thursday Night Football.
The following Sunday will see the Cincinnati Bengals travel to Nashville to take on the Tennessee Titans – a clash of two teams that enjoy a fan presence in Kentucky.
Other types of bets will be available from launch as well, including futures bets. Fans of the Kentucky Wildcats will be able to bet on the football team’s Saturday tilt against the Florida Gators or place a futures bet on the historically successful basketball program.
