Can you bet on sports with bitcoin?

No, not legally. Most legal sportsbooks around the country won't allow you to make bets with bitcoin.

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency (decentralized digital currency) that only exists on the internet. It's not allowed at any legal sportsbook, though there are offshore sites that accept deposits through bitcoin.

The other method to use bitcoin for sports betting is through pools or fantasy football and even then that depends on if the commissioner allows it.
