Here are some sports betting mistakes to avoid.

How West Virginia Compares: The WV Sports Betting Report Card

We graded West Virginia on its sports betting bill and experience relative to other states.

West Virginia Grading Card

Mobile Betting Options

One of the first states to approve legal online sportsbooks, several West Virginia mobile betting options have gone live and more continue to trickle into the market. Several industry leaders accept bets now.

Deposit

Bettors won’t struggle to access a myriad of depositing options. Depositing with West Virginia sportsbooks is easy and convenient.

Fair Pricing

Though West Virginia doesn’t have as many options as some neighboring states, there is still ample competition that compels WV sportsbooks to offer strong lines — to bettors benefit.

Sport Offerings

There are many options for professional and college sports. Betting on WVU and Marshall is also permitted.

Line Shopping in West Virginia

One thing new bettors tend to forget is that not all sportsbooks have the same odds. Some books are more square (catering to casual bettors), while others are more sharp (catering to professional bettors). Some have higher limits (accepting big figure wagers), while others have lower limits.

The key is not limiting yourself to betting at just one sportsbook. Instead, you want to shop around and place your bet at the book that gives you the best number. For example, if you want to bet on Marshall, check the market to see what odds are being posted. Most books might be showing Marshall at -6 (six-point favorite), but maybe you find a different book posting Marshall -5.5.

By taking the time to shop the market, you just got a better number and increased your chances of winning.

It might not seem like a big deal, but it can make a huge difference over the long haul, turning losses into pushes and pushes into wins.

Legal sports betting will make line shopping easier since you can open an account at a new sportsbook within minutes.

West Virginia Sports Betting Background and Legalization Timeline

It didn't take long for West Virginia sports bettors to be taken home following the landmark Supreme Court decision to strike down PASPA. In August 2019— less than three and a half months after the federal sports betting ban was lifted — West Virginia began accepting legal wagers at Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races. In doing so, the Mountain State, which lacks any professional teams but is a hotbed for college sports, especially football and basketball, became the fifth state to offer legal sports betting following Nevada, Delaware, New Jersey and Mississippi.

It wasn't a smooth first year for West Virginia legal betting, as several hiccups have occurred along the way. Two Mountaineer sportsbooks and one mobile app suspended operations in early March 2019 due to legal disputes. As a result, West Virginia betting took a big hit by losing out on March Madness revenue. Nevertheless, the future remains is bright for West Virginian sports bettors: Both FanDuel and DraftKings started operating in the state in August 2019, while BetMGM launched in 2020.

The sports betting bill passed by state lawmakers supports betting at all five of the state's physical casinos, three of which are fully operational, plus it allows for online and mobile app-based betting, which are the future of legal betting and are sure to be an economic boon for the state (and convenient for sports bettors) once they are running at peak capacity. FanDuel and DraftKings both relaunched in West Virginia in August 2019 after there was no mobile betting in the state for several months. You also don’t have to be a resident of the Mountain State to place a bet. As long as you are geo-located within the state, can place a mobile wager.

West Virginia Teams to Bet on

Although no professional sports teams call West Virginia their home, that certainly doesn't stop West Virginian fans from loving the local sports scene. Even though the University of Pittsburgh is a hated rival for many fans of the West Virginia Mountaineers, professional Pittsburgh teams are the local team of choice for many in the state. For others, it's a team from northwest Ohio or Washington, D.C., in the East. Whatever the market, you can expect plenty of legal sports betting on all of these teams below!

In all, Washington has played for the NFL championship 11 times in 24 postseason appearances.

Washington is undergoing a transition after choosing to change its name in 2020. The team is officially the Washington Football Team for now until another team name is chosen later.

Cavaliers fans had waited a long time for a championship, Cleveland's first major professional sports title since 1964, with hopes particularly high since drafting the kid from Akron, Ohio, in 2003. Cleveland had made the NBA Finals in 2007 and 2015 without winning, but in 2016 they finished the job. The Cavs went on to play in four straight Finals.

In 1960, Bill Mazeroski hit the only championship-winning Game 7 walk-off home run in baseball history.

Pittsburgh's most recent World Series win came in 1979. That was also the most recent appearance for the Pirates, which gives Pittsburgh the longest pennant drought of any National League team. The Pirates wear black and gold and play their home games at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The team plays its home games in St. Elizabeths East Arena in southeast Washington, D.C.

College Sports Teams

West Virginia doesn't have any in-state professional teams, but the state has a rich history of collegiate sports to bet on, with rivals West Virginia and Marshall both playing every major sport at the NCAA Division I level. We expect big bets to be placed on these Mountaineers and Thundering Herd teams soon.

College Football Betting in West Virginia

West Virginia Mountaineers Football

Football is West Virginia's most popular sport, and the Mountaineers are the state's No. 1 team. The Mountaineers have played college football since 1891, bouncing around through five different conferences, along with multiple periods as an independent. West Virginia has 15 conference titles, eight in the Southern Conference and seven in the Big East. They currently compete in the Big 12 Conference, which West Virginia joined in 2012.

West Virginia has the most victories among NCAA FBS programs that have never won (or claimed) a national championship, though they've played in 37 bowl games over the years. West Virginia has finished the season ranked in the top 10 five times and made it to No. 1 in the Coaches' Poll in 2007. The Mountaineers play their home games at Milan Puskar Stadium on campus in Morgantown. After every win, players and fans link arms and sing "Take Me Home, Country Roads" together. The Mountaineers are coached by Neal Brown.

Mountaineers Odds

Marshall Thundering Herd Football

The Thundering Herd made the leap to Division I-A (now FBS) in 1997, but they were an established Division I-AA (now FCS) powerhouse before that. In the decade before moving up, Marshall made the I-AA playoffs eight times and played in six national championship games, winning in 1992 and 1996. The Thundering Herd now play in Conference USA and own a sparkling 12-4 bowl record since their move.

Before their run of dominance, Marshall football was remembered mostly for tragedy because of a 1970 plane crash that killed all 75 people on board, including 37 Marshall football players, eight coaches, 25 boosters, and five flight crew members. It was the deadliest tragedy to affect any sports team in U.S. history and was memorialized in the 2006 Matthew McConaughey movie, "We Are Marshall."

The Thundering Herd play their home games at Joan C. Edwards Stadium in Huntington, one of only two Division I stadiums named solely for a woman. Marshall is coached by Doc Holliday.

College Basketball Betting in West Virginia

West Virginia Mountaineers Men's Basketball

Like the football program, West Virginia basketball competes in the Big 12 Conference but has jumped around conferences over the years. The Mountaineers have 15 regular-season conference titles and 13 conference tournament championships. West Virginia has played in 29 NCAA tournaments and made it to the Final Four in 1959 and 2010.

The 1959 Mountaineers featured NBA legend Jerry West, the man who the NBA logo is modeled after, and unquestionably the greatest West Virginia athlete in history. West was named tournament MVP but the Mountaineers lost in the championship game by a single point. West Virginia plays at the WVU Coliseum on campus in Morgantown. They're coached by former Mountaineer and legendary coach Bob Huggins.

Mountaineers Odds

Marshall Thundering Herd Men's Basketball

Marshall won the NAIA national championship in 1947 and saw star Andy Tonkovich taken No. 1 in the draft of the BAA. That's not quite the NCAA or the NBA yet, but the Thundering Herd joined Division I later and now play in Conference USA. Marshall has appeared in six NCAA tournaments, most recently in 2018 when they won their first March Madness game ever.

Marshall was also home to Hall-of-Famer Hal Greer, and the Thundering Herd have been a hotbed for excellent coaches like Mike D'Antoni, Billy Donovan, Anthony Grant, and John Pelphrey. The Thundering Herd are coached today by Dan D'Antoni. They play in the Cam Henderson Center in Huntington.
