Are any of the online betting sites actually taking bets on week one games?

Submitted by 1201SouthMain on

I've been using sportsbook.com for a few years and they don't have any first week lines.  I've read about the line for the Bama game but does anyone know a site that is actually taking action on first week games?

I'm not one to go about betting on games, but if I did, would using an online betting site be legal outside of Vegas/Reno/Atlantic City etc.?

There is actually no federal law that states it's illegal to bet on sports online in the U.S. with a betting company that is offshore.  So to answer your question, as long as you're not betting with a company based in the U.S., you're good to go.

But I bet a Michigan State friend for the opener against Bama.  $100 on Michigan getting 13.

And $50 on the Michigan - Michigan State, straight up.  I'm feeling pretty good about them both.
