Legal sports betting went live in Vermont on Thursday, opening the door for Vermonters to put their money on the table for a range of events.
痴别谤尘辞苍迟鈥檚 includes more than 60 different types of sports. On there are some more obscure sports that you probably won't find on ESPN.
So, can Vermonters log onto one of the state's three approved sportsbook companies and start betting on cornhole, drone racing and competitive tag?
Not exactly.
People would need to wait until there鈥檚 a significant event held by that sport鈥檚 official league, said Johnny Avello, director of race and sportsbook operations for DraftKings, one of the approved sportsbook companies.
鈥淒o we offer these all the time? No," Avello said. "But there are times during the year where there'll be a cricket match, or cornhole does take place over about a four-month span or so. You know, we do cornhole maybe twice a month or so, whenever the events are taking place.鈥�

It also depends on which sportsbook you鈥檙e using. DraftKings offers betting on significant events for all sports included in 痴别谤尘辞苍迟鈥檚 catalog. But Fanatics, the youngest of the three companies selected by the state, has a much leaner offering, focusing on popular sports like football, soccer and basketball.
So, if you鈥檙e hoping to wager on bull riding, curling, drone racing, badminton, or professional mini-golf (yes, ), keep an eye on each league鈥檚 calendar of events. If there鈥檚 a national or international competition, you鈥檒l likely see it on DraftKings.
That even goes for a competitive tag.
鈥淵ou know, I don't remember us doing too much competitive tag, but we have it," Avello said. "And so, if there's an event out there that we think it's worthwhile to booking, we will have it."
