There has been an increase sports betting since the start of Pro Football Playoffs.

Presque Isle Downs & Casino has been taking bets on the big games since the start of the season.

The Sports Books are always prepared for a big push during the post-season.

A limited number of games and more betting options has increased interest.

 Since the legalization of sports betting, NFL viewership has risen every year.

Matt Ennis, the Senior Director of Operations at Presque Isle Downs and Casino told Erie News Now, "You can see more people paying attention to their television, asking friends what the right bet is. We certainly see an escalation during wild-card weekend and beyond."

Legal sports betting is now legal in over 30 states.
