If you’re looking for odds on the numbers of tables slammed outside Buffalo’s Highmark Stadium on Saturday, you might not find what you’re looking for via legalized online sports betting, but if you want to bet on the Buffalo Bills’ chances of beating the New England Patriots, you’re in luck.
New York finally launched mobile sports betting on Jan. 8, so you’ll have numerous betting options when it comes to Saturday night’s game (8:15 p.m. ET, CBS).
As for table-slamming, it has long been prohibited in the parking lots before Buffalo’s home games. That, of course, doesn’t necessarily mean the practice of jumping, or diving, onto a folding table and “slamming” it has gone away completely, even if you can’t legally bet on it.
The practice has led to some interesting viral videos, but in some cases, it’s actually a moment that can lead to joy. In September, Joshy Hutchinson, 11, “slammed” a cardboard table after completing his last chemotherapy treatment. The video posted to Twitter has been watched more than 512,000 times. And after WKBW posted the video on social media, it led to a meeting between Joshy Hutchinson and Bills quarterback Josh Allen.
On Saturday night, though, the Bills will be focusing on the Patriots. And with the launch of mobile sports betting, you can focus on betting on the Bills as well.
Odddsmakers have installed Buffalo with the third-best odds of winning the Super Bowl. And the Bills are favored in Saturday’s game by anywhere from 3.5 points to 5.5 points.
If you’re looking to place your first legalized mobile sports bet in New York, here’s what you need to know. In addition, we’ll take a look at the odds for the Super Bowl.
