Massachusetts became the latest state to launch legal retail sports betting after Mayor Domenic Sarno placed $50 on the Philadelphia Eagles to beat the Kansas City Chiefs at the BetMGM Sportsbook at MGM Springfield. The Mayor's bet was the first legal bet, placed at 10am on Tuesday morning and is on the biggest betting event of the year, the Super Bowl 57 which will take place in Glendale, Arizona on February 12th. Sarno told local press: 'Big win for Springfield. Big win for MGM Springfield. Big win for the commonwealth of Massachusetts' Where can you bet in Massachusetts? Retail sports betting got underway with three Massachusetts casinos, all receiving approval just the day prior via unanimous votes of approval from the Massachusetts Gaming Commission.
