Arkansas sports betting preview

There isn't a professional sports franchise in the NBA, NHL, NFL or MLB in Arkansas, but "The Natural State" has adopted a handful of teams in each league based largely on proximity. The Oklahoma City Thunder have gained a growing foothold given their recent success and being in a neighboring state, and they're in the hunt to win back-to-back NBA titles. After sweeping the Phoenix Suns, they're preparing for their second-round opponents (winners of the Lakers vs. Rockets series). The Thunder are now priced at -120 to win the championship in the latest NBA futures from DraftKings and they're also +3500 to win every postseason game they play.

The St. Louis Cardinals and Kansas City Royals both have sizable fanbases in the state as well thanks both to proximity and having a minor-league affiliate either inside of state lines or just across them. St. Louis is off to an 17-13 start in what was believed to be a rebuilding year and is now +550 to make the MLB playoffs. Meanwhile, Kansas City is 12-18, but is finally getting its offense going over the last week or so and is priced at +200 to make the postseason. Check out the brand new DraftKings Arkansas promo code to get $300 in bonus bets instantly with a $5 wager:
