So, You Wanna Gamble Like a Sooner in Oklahoma? Hold Your Horses...Unless They're in the Derby! (Can't Bet on That Either)
Let's face it, Oklahoma. We've got the wind, we've got the prairie, we've got Garth Brooks croonin' in our hearts...but when it comes to sports betting, we're a little stuck in the Wild West days (minus the saloons, which wouldn't be a bad thing, am I right?).
So, you're itching to put your money on the Sooners or try your luck picking the next NBA champion. You fire up that FanDuel app, ready to make it rain (hopefully winnings, not tears), and...nada. Zip. Zilch. You can't seem to place a bet.
Hold on to your Stetsons, folks, because here's the deal: FanDuel sports betting isn't quite legal in Oklahoma...yet.
Now, don't go saddling up your disappointment just yet! There's still a chance to scratch that gambling itch.
Tip: Focus on sections most relevant to you.

But Don't Despair, Partner! Daily Fantasy Sports Are Here to Save the Day (Kind Of)
While you can't wager on the actual outcome of a game, FanDuel does offer Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) in Oklahoma. Here's the gist: you build a virtual team of real-life athletes, and their performance throughout the season (or day, for DFS) earns you points. Rack up the most points, and you win a share of the prize pool.
It's not quite the same as putting your money on the Thunder to win it all, but hey, it's a way to add some excitement to your sports viewing and potentially win some cash.
The Bottom Line: Buckle Up and Wait for the Legal Rodeo to Begin
There's always the chance that Oklahoma will join the sports betting party in the future. Many states have already hopped on the bandwagon, and Oklahoma might be next. Until then, DFS is your best bet (pun intended).

How to Pick a Winning DFS Team?
Tip: Reread sections you didn’t fully grasp.
Do your research! Check player stats, past performances, and upcoming matchups. A little knowledge goes a long way (and can help you avoid drafting a team full of rookies on a bad day).
How Much Can I Win Playing DFS?
Prize pools vary depending on the contest you enter. Some offer big bucks, while others are smaller stakes. But hey, even a small win is better than no win, right?
QuickTip: Use the post as a quick reference later.
How is DFS Different from Sports Betting?
With DFS, you're not betting on the outcome of a game. You're building a team based on individual player performance.
How Long Until Sports Betting Becomes Legal in Oklahoma?
That's a tough one. We can't predict the future, but it's definitely something to keep an eye on.
