Sports Betting: Nevada To Allow Bets On NFL Draft

Nevada gaming regulators have announced that for the first time ever gamblers can place wagers on the upcoming NFL draft.

The decision was made on April 6, regulators said. All licensed sports books are eligible, if they choose to do so. Bets must be accepted prior to the close of business on April 26.

NFL.com will be the official source of the results.

“The setting of odds is at the discretion of the book; rules governing these wagers shall be made available to the public,” the Gaming Control Board said.

The state’s move comes just weeks after NFL owners voted to allow the Oakland Raiders to relocate to Las Vegas. The team could play its first game in Sin City in 2019.

Here’s a look at what the books can take action on.
