Kansas City, Kansas has become a popular destination for Missouri sports bettors to gather and place bets before games. This spot, located at the intersection of Interstate 435 and Kansas 5, has become a hotspot for avid bettors from the Show-Me-State.
During football season, this area was filled with cars of Missouri residents placing bets and spending time together. Now, as March Madness rolls in, basketball fans are once again back at their spot, eager to place bets on the NCAA tournament games. This phenomenon has become well-known among avid bettors in the community, drawing in more people to join in on the fun.
One of the reasons that this spot is so popular is due to its convenience. AJ Kurke, a friend of McKimens, mentions how it’s the first exit and the most convenient spot for them to gather and enjoy each other’s company. Some bettors have even come up with ideas for using the land around the overpass to create a communal space, like a watering hole, to enhance their betting experience.
While this spot brings a lot of excitement and fun for Missouri sports bettors, they are still waiting for legalization of sports betting in their state. Missouri Senate Bill 852 is currently under consideration this legislative season, giving hope to bettors that they might soon be able to place their bets closer to home.
