An early sounding of public opinion about legal sports betting in the Bluegrass State suggests most Kentuckians favor expanded wagering opportunities, even if they still prefer to play the ponies.
The survey asked why respondents supported or didn't support sports betting as well. Of those in support, 36.4% answered the state could benefit from the extra tax revenue, 16.5% said it's already happening and should be regulated by the state, 12.5% said it's fun and adults should be allowed to wager on sports, and 34.7% agreed with all of those options.
The Covers survey also asked respondents how they feel about wagering on college sports, with 54.6% agreeing or strongly agreeing it should be legal, which it is in Kentucky. Another 25.3% disagreed or strongly disagreed it should be legal, and 20% responded they were unsure.
