Massachusetts has legalised sports wagering, but Bay Staters have expressed mixed feelings about whether or not they will gamble.
According to a survey from BetMassachusetts.com, 41% of residents are “likely” or “very likely” to wager on sports. However, 37% of residents said they are “unlikely” or “very unlikely” to do so.
What’s more, 71% of Bay State residents do not currently bet on sports, while 69% said they have never travelled beyond Massachusetts to place a legal wager.
This stands in stark contrast to the 26% of adults surveyed who do currently wager on sports, and the 28% who have travelled to surrounding states to place a bet.
